I agree, I thought he was consistent too. And even if he wasn't, umps can have bad days just like players. I'm assuming most umps were former players at one point, so maybe it's a little easier than I make it out to be. But I always felt umping behind the plate in the big leagues has to be one of the most difficult things in sports.
Congrats on the solid start to CFB.
