If you're talking about the boos at the end of the first half, they
were for the officials exiting the field at the SW corner.  I heard
that ABC misreported that the fans were booing the team.  That was
clearly and definitely not the case.  The boos were for the officials.

There were very, very few scattered boos in the second half, but
so small in number as to be barely perceptible.

It was a poorly officiated game.

1) The pass on Lee's IG penalty call was closer to the receiver
than the one they waved off for Tech.  It seemed to be intentionally
one-sided.

2) There was a missed personal foul against Tech on the NU sideline
that was much worse than the one they called against Crick.  I could
see the penalty from 40 yds away in the East Stadium, but the officials
standing right there couldn't?

3) On the pass interference call, the ball was a good 3-4 yards
above the receiver's head and clearly uncatchable.

I think Bo was trying to get a penalty late in the game and couldn't
because the officials thought the crowd was unhappy enough as it was.
