Q: From Jason Morris, Indianapolis, IN: What are the coaches doing to lower the amount of Penalties? Against UConn 11 and FSU 14. We can’t afford this aganist Tenn or V-tech. What is the problem and how are they going to fix it?
A: Thanks for your interest and concern. As with any negative aspect of the game the coaches and players are working to improve in that area. Last week at West Virginia we saw improvement.

Q: From Thomas W White, Lutz, FL : Dear Paul,
The Miami-FSU game was hard fought and rightfully won by the best team, the Hurricanes.Seems like there was an unusually large number of referee calls and penalties that went in FSU’s favor.
Is there any consideration given to using impartial referees from the Big Ten or SEC, inplace of those from the ACC? This may not make any difference, but it probably wouldn’t be so suspicious.
Thanks sincerely,
Tom White

A: We have only been able to agree to using our referees (ACC/Big East). the use of referees from other conferences presents problems in their scheduling.
