Just when you think the Pac-12 Conference has fixed its referee problem, it seems to get worse.

In the second quarter of the Oregon-Washington State game, the officials lost track of the downs, costing the Cougars a down. Instead of fixing the issue right then and there, they waited for two plays and WSU eventually had to punt.

You’re not supposed to be able to go back a couple of plays and pretty much go back in time that far to correct something like that. So after the Ducks had received a punt, Washington State was able to have a 3rd-and-17 all over again.

Fortunately for Oregon, it didn’t cost the Ducks as WSU failed to convert the third down, again, and had to punt, again.

On the telecast, official “expert” claims the replay official can determine something like this as long as possession didn’t change hands. Did it not  change hands with the punt? No one has seen a situation like this before.

Only in the Pac-12.
