Worst refs

Post by Kelledr »

These refs were the worst I’ve seen in a long time and 9 of 10 calls seemed to go against Mizzou. On Mizzou first drive the receiver was manhandled and no call. On a couple of SC drives the receiver was barely touched and it was called. Also both Mizzou and Sc should have been called for targeting.

Did you watch the OU/Auburn game? Equally bad, or worse.

I think we can all agree it's a difficult job.

But they seem to make it more so by the inconsistency in calls.

Hard for sure, seems PI is a coin flip on most plays. Some are so obvious but not called, need to clean that up.

Ummm I did not think any of that watching the game. I thought the refs were pretty much non factors.

Also, I thought the targeting calls being negated were the right calls on both players.

Just my perspective.

The early PI on Mizzou during SC’s first TD drive was weak, but the right call. I said at the time “as long as it goes both ways”. Then Coleman was held in the exact same fashion, arm around the waist, in the endzone and of course it was not called.

That was the only blatant miss I saw, and again it was only their lack of consistency that bugged me. I thought both targeting calls would be upheld though.

Added sidenote, SC’s players whine as much as their coach. Biased? Of course I am. But a bad look IMO.

SEC already came out with two official statements in the OU game basically saying both of the OU TDS should not have counted and they will discuss next steps with the officiating crew on Monday. The player faking running off the field was bad, but that incomplete pass was abysmal. No idea how they overturned the call on the field and allowed that.

What game are you watching, bc it wasn’t the Mizzou- South Carolina game. SC was called for 14 penalties to Mizzou’s 5. Stop the whoa is little ole Mizzou whiny nonsense

SC had a ton of false starts which isn’t a judgement call

Worse. Auburn especially got screwed with missing an unsportsmanlike penalty that would have negated a TD and maybe three missed DPI penalties - a few near or in the end zone.

SC was sloppy and had a bunch of calls against them. There were more that should have been called, especially a few key PI and holding calls. Those two statements are not mutually exclusive.

Almost as bad as the Big 12 officials for the Kansas game.

and…don’t act like Mizzou caught a bunch of breaks from the refs cause they had so many calls. Most were self inflicted

OU should have lost their game. The cheating sideline play resulting in a TD should have been called back. As one of the guys said on the SEC review show, that was an illegal play that was made illegal by SEC rule and if it was illegal, then why was it even in the cheating Sooners’ playbook? Why did they even run an illegal play? That makes no sense and OU should be dealt with as well as the officiating crew. Same old garbage for OU. Cheat to win.

I didnt say they caught breaks. I’m saying the people saying 9 of 10 calls were going against Mizzou are ridiculous.
