The first quarter of Saturday’s Kansas football game lasted over an hour long. That’s correct. A 15-minute college football quarter took over an hour to play and the officials are to blame. Let me just say, I never blame officials for the outcome of games. What happened in in the opening quarter would not have changed the outcome of Saturday’s game. But it did not help.
The referees do a thankless job and I wouldn’t want their responsibility. I’ve had long conversations with several college and professional football referees. One of the men served on the field for many years.
