The ball has already been delivered all the way downfield (and dropped) by the intended receiver, before the defender drags the QB to the ground, injuring him.  The ref is right there, staring, the entire time.  No call.  This type of crap happened all game long, and it has happened all season long.


When I saw that play, I said, "Well, at least there's a first down for roughing!". Wasn't shocked when there wasn't any.

Let's be clear. When the ball is snapped, Texas lets defenders have a free run at the QB practically every time. The Texas defenders won't ever get to the opposing QB even on a blitz. That is the absolute root cause of why Texas is losing games. The 2018-19 draft classes should be leading our lines right now. Instead they play for other people.
I wish the line play were better so I could complain about the cruddy officiating more.

Strangely enough, SEC fans think  their officials are bad, and biased, if not crooked.

Most people think that of their own conference officials.  Having watched plenty of SEC and B12 football, I can tell you that SEC officials are much better than B12 officials in general. 

As I've said before, I have certainly noticed that SEC officials quite clearly favor and protect the higher ranked team, especially if they represent the SEC's best chance to get into the CFP.  But this is obviously a direct order from the league office, so I don't question their competence.  They're doing the exact job that the league is paying them to do.

So, you'd expect them to call in Bama's favor over Auburn?  Tiger King posted that just today on Facebook.

As crappy as the lines are, our team is pretty evenly matched against the rest of the B12.  All of the 1-score finals prove that.  So, when you're evenly matched with your opponent, and the refs are letting the other team get away with shit that is THAT blatant, it is absolutely crushing.  There's just no way around this truth,

Absolutely.  I saw them call in Alabama's favor against Arkansas just 2 days ago.

There are 13 teams in the SEC not named Alabama.

You'd think they might gang up and demand improvement.

Indeed they couldn't.


I didn't watch that game, so can't  comment on how the officiating turned out.

You must not remember the screwing the Big 12 refs gave A&M and Nebraksa a decade ago when they left.  They probably screwed CU and Mizzou as well, but whatever.  

Turnabout is fair play.  

Entering SEC play with a coach on the hot seat is not a good place to be in.  If your admin knew last year when they fired Tom Herman, and they did, they should have let him stay one more year.  

The lone bright spot is that your recruiting will get much better, immediately once the entry date is determined.  The stranded assets are no longer stranded.  OU will probably remain about the same, which is still very good.
