@MT_FB head coach Derek Mason SOUNDED OFF on @ConferenceUSA officiating during his Monday press conference.
Mason said he reported what he believed to be 17 missed holding calls against Jax State following the Blue Raiders 23-13 loss to the Gamecocks.
“At the end of the day man, we’ve got to get to a point where these damn referees show up and do their damn job.”

The Blue Raiders faced 4th-and-10 on the Panthers’ 40-yard line and appeared to have two options:
1. Punt the ball back to FIU with two timeouts
2. Try a 57-yard field goal
They chose option three.
