I didn’t see this until now but I’ve got a few thoughts. 1) Ultimately I think that’s the right call to not have PI. 2) Horrible officiating based on calling something and overturning it, especially after fans throwing things on the field. 3) Fans throwing things on the field is completely unacceptable
The SEC needs to make a stand here or it will get out of control. Suspend the entire student section for their next game. I know they are very liberal with their fines for fan actions, but a fine doesn’t mean anything to Texas. If they do nothing, it’s a show that Texas already runs the SEC.
I don’t think they’ll go that far, but I am surprised they didn’t get a 15 yard penalty for it and a warning to be ejected. I think there have been quite a few games that referees have ejected the entire section for this very thing. Maybe even an ISU game against Tech?
That’s unreal. That scenario could be interpreted several different ways, but I’ll chalk it up to incompetence and honestly that’s dangerous.
I agree that wasn’t pass interference. But, once the refs make the call, that’s the call. Game goes on, people voice their displeasure, and everyone discusses afterwards.
To reverse that call, after Texas fans deliberately delayed the game, through illegal conduct mind you, is so incompetent and sets about as dangerous a precedent as you can have during a competition. Fan actions can get calls changed.
I completely agree that it was probably incompetence and not intentional. Either way it’s really bad for the officiating crew though
They ultimately got the call "right" but how in the world do you huddle, align it was pass interference, announce it, huddle again, and ultimately reverse the call?
That was some Big 12 refs level stuff Texas use to benefit from.
There’s no way this wasn’t the case of one of the refs seeing the play on the video board and then deciding they missed the call. I am not into the conspiracies of someone from the replay telling them they had it wrong. But if that video board didn’t exist or the fans didn’t delay the game, that call does not get overturned. And that’s a terrible precedent to set

1) It wasn’t PI, it was a bad call, you’re right. BUT
2) You don’t change a nonreviewable call after a delay in play, especially if a major reason for your reversal is seeing video replays on the scoreboard (it’s not reviewable, official or not). Bad calls happen in every game, that’s the way it goes
3) The SEC has now given the impression that fans can change officials’ calls by throwing trash on the field. That’s not good.
4) Even if you do grant that changing the call was the “right” thing to do, how does Texas get away without a delay of game/unsportsmanlike penalty for the actions of the fans? Delaying the game with bottles on the field to convince the refs to change a bad call against you seems like a legal strategy now.
Maybe they should e sent Kirby up there to go truck some students like he did to that MSU player.
Mid-conference matchup vs Ball State? Yep Vandy is in fact a member of the SEC.
I completely agree with all of this. The refs mishandled this in pretty much every way possible.
Yeah, although having thought about it, it’s probably enough to just issue a large fine, say the refs screwed up, and remind people what the consequences are (penalties against the crowd, kicking sections out, etc.).
If they want to do more (e.g. ban Texas fans from the next game) I’m not against it, but I am not sure they have to.
Malcontent Texas- curb stomped.
Malcontent Nebraska- curb stomped
Malcontent Oklahoma- curb stomped.
Iowa State wins in dramatic fashion.
Yep. Great day for college football.
