Being upset at the refs circumstances…

Featured Replies

In most cases I recall, fan bases upset at the refs are likely related to missed or non-reviewable calls. This game was odd in that most of the controversy was reviewed. Both teams had reviewed calls go against them but Texas ended up ahead on the strength of the odd forward fumble. The non fumble due to forward progression was wrong. Texas had at least 3 no calls go against them..can’t think of no calls to on Missouri.

So in the circumstance of winning reviewed calls I don’t feel at all like we got away with one.

Oh and the Miami TD overturn was clearly incomplete. That rule of maintaining possession is enforced more often than not regardless of call on field vs replay.

And yes…the SEC should play the audio during replay reviews.

When plays are super close, like the forward fumble that Mosely picked up, the replay both is always going to go with the call on the field.

Mizzou fans were already pissed by the two catches, one a touchdown, that were overturned because of the lack of control of the ball through the contact with the ground. The fumbled pass attempt for a first down was their tipping point. With his hands coming forward it made it look like a pass, but the booth and refs did get it right. He had no control of the ball. If they had called it an incomplete pass on the field, then the booth would not have overturned that call either. The play was that close.

However, they cannot blame the refs or the booth for the loss. The total penalty yards comparison was Texas-65 and Mizzou-45. The refs missed a lot of holding calls, false starts, and interference calls on Mizzou that could have set them back, but they were not called, while some were called on Texas.

The refs also missed a blatant holding penalty on Collin Simmons (by the Mizzou LT) on the play where Caden Lee catches a fairly long pass for a first down but the ball scrapes the ground as is eventually overturned by Replay booth. I actually thought Lee caught the ball, but Mizzou can’t whine about the Replay result if an obvious penalty that would’ve nullified the play anyway goes uncalled.
