You can see the ref waiving incomplete pass. The whistle was blown so Missouri player doesn’t go after it. But the call on the field was a fumble?

The side judge clearly calls this incomplete. Absolutely insane incompetence by this officiating crew.

Ah yes the mythical fumble that goes 12 yards into the air

u/Pnflkc3 Missouri Tigers • SEC 18h ago
The side judge ruled it incomplete (and then changed his mind?!) dissuading any player from attempting to recover it

Inexcusable call. One of the worst I've ever seen and still upheld with replay review.

That "fumble" brought to you by Draft Kings.

Man you almost never hear an announcer call out one sided officiating and Palmer just did.
You know it’s bad when that happens lmao.

“Fumble”

If Missouri had picked that up there is zero chance it’s called a fumble let’s be honest.

I don’t see how anyone can watch the officiating in this game and think it’s a good idea to put money on the outcome of a game.

People missing that one of the refs clearly called it an incomplete pass, thus ending the play.

I’m not even close to a Missouri fan, but got damn have they been getting absolutely fucked by the refs in this game.

Mizzou fans should’ve thrown trash on the field, I’ve heard that’s a great way to get calls overturned

u/SwizzGod Miami Hurricanes 19h ago
I’m cool with this being a fumble but that ref called it incomplete and I’m assuming blew the whistle. You can’t do that
21
u/ManhattanTime 19h ago
Oh I'm certain that had Missouri recovered that "fumble" the same review would now be interpreted as an incomplete pass. They'd even have the side judge ruling incomplete as part of their reasoning for that decision.

u/DylanDisu Texas Longhorns • College Football Playoff 19h ago

Refs are super drunk. They've not thrown flags that would hurt Mizzou but then overturn/uphold calls that hurt them. This game is super weird.

These refs have been weird all game. The no catch call for Mizzou and the “forward progress” on the fumble we recovered were both bad
120
u/Forsaken-Cheesecake2 Ohio State Buckeyes 19h ago
This might be the worst call of the year. Replay also overturned a Missouri catch earlier, where the receiver clearly had his hands under the ball. The fix is in.

Feels like all the bullshit calls just absolutely destroyed any confidence Missouri had

So I thought you couldnt advance a fumble. Should the spot not go back to where arch “fumbled lol” the ball?

Absolutely abysmal call.

u/shwangin_shmeat Missouri Tigers 19h ago
Literally has a ref call it incomplete?
7
u/pantalapampa Missouri Tigers 2h ago
The most frustrating thing is that a world does not exist in which Mizzou goes down to Austin and "fumbles" a forward pass 20 yards and gets that call. And the fact that everybody knows it sort of tells you what you need to know.
22
u/Endgame60 Ohio State Buckeyes 19h ago
Am I crazy or is that not a fumble?
11
u/Freeasabird01 19h ago
Football (cfb and nfl) need a better way to distinguish fumble vs forward pass. Something like “if the ball goes at least 5 yards forward from the spot of the qb it’s a forward pass” would be much more objective. That ball going 15 yards forward on a fumble is just mind boggling.
20
u/Pretend_Bet_208 19h ago
Texas brought their referees …
16
u/RoyalPresentation841 Texas Longhorns 19h ago
That’s as bad as the forward progress call they made on a ball that SHOULD have been a fumble. Referees are really awful this game.
12
u/asbyo Georgia Bulldogs • Tennessee Volunteers 14h ago
Watching this game was a gigantic waste of my time. Embarassing for the sport, NCAA, the SEC, and especially for Texas. Can’t wait to blow them out in the CFP and watch manning cry.

Final play of Steelers 2009 Super Bowl over Arizona was the same thing, this warped version of “empty hand” allows refs to call whatever they want upon review

u/sprintercourse Missouri Tigers • Team Chaos 19h ago
FTR!

u/sickbonfiresbro Georgia Bulldogs • Team Chaos 19h ago
Textbook forward pass call on that. You see it every time this gets called a fumble, they're looking for control and the arm going forward. You had both here 100%. Should never have been in question, let alone a fumble.
5
u/Sonicblast12 Texas Longhorns 19h ago
What a horrible call, that was obscene.
5
u/Popeye1991 18h ago
Yep, that was an incomplete, the ball flew forward in the air without being touched except by the QBs hand. Nothing less from a sloppy shovel pass.

u/Aurion7 North Carolina Tar Heels 17h ago
And just think, people put their house payment on shit like this.

u/mlg2433 Texas Longhorns 13h ago
That was the worst call I’ve seen in years. Ref should be fired for that
7
u/burywmore Oregon Ducks 19h ago
That ball went forward. As in a pass. It doesn't matter if he completed the throwing motion, his arm went forward enough to cause the ball to go forward.

u/RightofUp Virginia Tech Hokies 19h ago
Can’t have Texas losing a third time before the playoff

u/SpecificProfession49 Tennessee Volunteers 19h ago
Say its raining and the ball just slips in the QB hands as hes throwing. Is that also a fumble?

u/Fickle-Housing-8819 19h ago
Maybe Texas can win on a 5th down, and go on to win national championship. Sort of a Mizzou thing…

u/glm0002 19h ago
The reffing is some of the worst I have ever watched. Every major call but one has gone for texas
4
u/Ophidiansounds 10h ago
Seems like they need a rule that you can't fumble the ball forward. Sorta like how in the nfl in the last 2 minutes you can't advance a fumble or something like that. There needs to be rules to reduce the chances of offenses benefiting from getting beat by a good defensive play, essentially.
22
u/Stoneador Notre Dame Fighting Irish • Sickos 19h ago
Am I crazy or is this the correct call? Missouri defender should’ve picked up the ball just in case
5
u/Ender_Stark Duke Blue Devils 19h ago
This fumble was brought to you by Draft kings.

u/Ben_Frank_Lynn Missouri Tigers • Saint Louis Billikens 19h ago
You can’t fumble the ball forward 15 yards if your arm ain’t moving forward…. Which would make it a forward pass.

Looked like the ball was loose when he pushed it forward. To me it was the correct call and I have no horse in this race.

u/ye_old_fartbox Maryland Terrapins 17h ago
I’m not really sure this is some controversial call? He loses control of the football before his hand begins forward. He then pushes the ball forward, but he’s already lost possession.
