Was saturday the worst officiated game we've seen in a while?

LSU's first quarterback sneak in the first quarter, Jayden was legitimately 2 yards into the endzone on top of bodies when the NEAR side official (who had a perfect view) came running in to blow the play dead at the goal line.


Jayden then rolls off the pile about 5 yards into the endzone. Like it wasn't even close.


Then the missed false start on Mizzou's goal line TD. I mean this is what our front looked like when the ball was snapped

Mason Taylor reaching about a half yard shy of the first down on a 3rd down to start the second quarter. If this is properly spotted, we likely go for it (and get it)

But marked 3 yards short?


Something needs to be done about that crew. It's really inexcusable stuff for an SEC game.

Yes. There was a lot more missed/bad calls than what you posted. On both sides I might add

It was pretty bad. How the heck do you not call a touchdown when the entire offense is in the end zone? I mean literally all 11 guys. There’s no fumble ruled so….. ?????


However, the worst call I can think of will always be the Patrick Peterson non-interception. I’ll never change my mind about that. Two hands on the ball, two feet in bounds.

But the more I think about it, as far as an entire game is concerned, this crew was so bad.

The hold on their qb run on 3rd down was one of the worst holding non calls I've seen in a while. Their oline was literally behind the player and still engaged.

Thanks for posting. I've been looking for the angle of that non JD5 TD.

He was clearly in, but here’s what I don’t understand: why go fast there? Let them buzz down and review. It would have been overturned.

Yes , I felt that LSU was playing against two teams at once. And for a while I was pulling for one of our players to take out a few refs in order to get their attention.

Really nice screen shots. The TD was the one where I couldn’t understand why we didn’t challenge. I think we must have thought - ‘oh well, we’ll just punch it in again’….

Missed call, yes but we should have initiated contact vs point at the dude on the false start.

There were so many more and the ‘no calls’:
- JDs TD with the late unsportsmanlike hit that took him out of the game
- The non-hold called a hold from the play just above.
- The many many obvious Mizzou holds that we saw right on camera.

We could go on and on and on….

At least it wasn't completely lopsided Auburn 2006 bad. They were just unbelievably incompetent.

Worst I've seen in an LSU game in my lifetime. And it impacted both sides.

you failed to mention the missed hold in the 3rd & 9 where Mizzou QB scrambled and picked up the first down.

or the late hit on Jayden in the endzone on a TD run where they called the ticky-tack hold on Pimpton but missed the blatant shot to Jayden's back after he had already scored.

The Daniels TD was a hilariously bad spot

The way they were calling the defensive delay of game penalties is a pretty good indicator that their priorities were out of whack.

Bad calls in every aspect of that game

you are correct that he was VERY obviously in the end zone, but you are a horrible judge of distances.

I mean he's a foot or so in the first pic.
2nd pic is closer to 2 or 3 yards.

5 yards would be dead center of the end zone.

I've been watching college football since 1949 and this has to rank as about the worst I've ever witnessed.

I bet you the SEC refs have standing orders to blow the play “dead” early on the Tush Push / Brotherly Shove play.

Officials hate it because it’s a loophole to the assisting the runner penalty.
