[Bette]

The Pacific-10 has suspended a game official for missing a facemask call in Saturday's game between Southern California and Oregon State.
The play came on a hit that knocked an Oregon State player's helmet off.
Commissioner Larry Scott said in a statement that the suspension was handed down because the hit was "blatant and dangerous."
The conference did not name the official or any players involved, but Trojans safety Taylor Mays hit Beavers receiver James Rodgers, removing his helmet after he caught a fourth-quarter touchdown pass.

Pac-10 suspends ref for missing facemask call

I actually heard about this Bette but didn't get to see the game up here because of the region I live in. Surprised that the player didn't get a suspension for the vicious helmet to helmet. You know, maybe only in the NFL do they suspend players for this?

I dont know. I was wondering about that myself. I saw it once before this year, the helmet to helmet.
Sounds like a question for the experts.

No mention of the Oregon player that ripped Jake Locker's helmet off by his facemask when Locker was laying on the ground. It was pretty obvious and quite flagrant and would have given the Huskies a 1st and goal at the time.

Hey desertrat, I didn't see this play? You have me baffled on this one? I saw a lot of other helmets fly off in this game but never saw Locker's helmet come off. Must have missed this one?

Spencer Paysinger was the one that did it in the 2nd quarter. Locker was on the ground at the end of the play when Paysinger tore Locker's helmet off by grabbing the facemask. I remember Locker jumped up immediately asking for the flag and the replay clearly showed what happened. I found several stories that mention the incident but could not find a video link for it.
