u/CodyRCantrell Oklahoma • Red River Shootout 6d ago

OU/Texas and UK/LSU games were equally bad. Both had catches called out of bounds with a ref being within 10 yards of the reception with nothing obstructing their views.

It also gets really irritating when a crew will let them play for 50 minutes then call everything by the book for the last 10 minutes with a flag on nearly every play.

catches called out of bounds with a ref being within 10 yards of the reception with nothing obstructing their views.

The first on the left sideline was a bona fide NFL catch by a mile, clear as day. Absolutely zero movement from the ball, secure catch from the start...zero excuse to get that wrong.

Glad it was corrected after review but it shouldn't have been necessary.

What hurts the most for those is that it is essentially giving the defense free timeouts to regroup, rest a bit, and plan for the next play when they're worn out at end of reg.

In that case, as Gabe Ikard pointed out, it was more beneficial to us because it gave us a free time out to scheme a must-need play with only seconds left. If we were marching down the field, yeah it would’ve benefitted Texas, but we weren’t lol.
