[Husker] Very interesting officiating

I've counted two times where the playclock hit zero for Texas Tech and
no flag was thrown. A rather obvious facemask was also missed on the
final 3rd down attempt of Nebraska's first drive. The d-list announcers
on FSN didn't catch it either, but Ganz was visibly frustrated at the
non-call.
The consecutive holding penalties toward the end of the 1st half were
also interesting. I didn't see much that doesn't happen on almost every
passing down. The "roughing the passer" penalty on Suh was legitimate
and a completely boneheaded move on his part.
It is frustrating to go into the half trailing 17-7. The way NU has
played, it should only be a 1 possession game, but critical miscues and
interesting officiating have prevented that. We get the ball to start
the 2nd half, so hopefully we can score and keep it close. We can't get
into a shootout with this team...that much is obvious.
