Doesn’t help this dude was the head ref. Same one that took 3 TDs off the board TN vs SC.

"Some of the worst 'officials' in America are those in the announce booth."
"I am highly disappointed in the announcers."

The CFP and ESPN have agreed on a five-year, nearly $1.7 billion deal that will expand the field to 24 teams in 2027 with ESPN as its continued broadcast partner, sources told ESPN, a seismic move that also eliminates the lucrative Power 4 conference championship games.

This is clearly and obviously an incomplete pass. He loses control after the hand moves forward.

The NFL refs after calling this complete on the field, *upheld* the call for Barner
The SEC refs after calling it complete on the field, *reversed* the call for Cayden Lee
Which one looks more like a catch than the other?
Never should have been reversed. Hands under ball whole time, even a slight touch to the ground was under control.

The official’s signal as we see here makes this an even more interesting play.
College football has a silly rule that an inadvertent signal causes the ball to become dead.
If the ball is then recovered in the immediate continuing action, Replay can award the recovering team the ball at the spot of recovery.
If it is not, because it was ruled a fumble, the offense can either take the ball at the spot of the fumble or repeat the down at the previous spot.
It’s highly subjective but I don’t see this as a clear recovery as players must react immediately and they must be in the vicinity of the loose ball.

ESPN’s Jesse Palmer: Missouri fans should be ‘livid’ over officiating in Texas loss awfulannouncing.com/college-…

Doesn't seem as though Eli Drinkwitz was happy with the officiating 😳 I don't blame him!
But when I look at this game, Mizzou had chances too.
❌ Red-zone opportunities left on the field
❌ Special teams mistakes
✅ Texas made the winning plays late
What's your biggest takeaway from the Tigers' loss? 👇 #mizzou #texas #SEC #CollegeFootball

Texas beat Mizzou, but that wasn't the story

Statement from the SEC on the #Mizzou-Texas replay review that upheld the call of a 3rd-quarter fumble:
"The ruling on the field was a fumble. In replay review it was determined there was not clear and obvious video evidence that he had firm control of the ball when the hand intentionally started forward in order to overturn the call."

“This young man is not getting the credit he deserves for his accuracy, arm strength and ball placement.”
