You know that the offiating crew is having a bad night when both teams are angry about the calls.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops has yanked his head set over two pass interference calls against the Sooners. The first helped set up Missouri's first field goal and the second gave the Tigers a first-and-goal at the nine.
On the next play, Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel ran up the middle and appeared to cross the goal line. His entire body was on and across the line. Apparently, the ball was held by an unseen part of Daniel's anatomy because no touchdown was signaled.
There was no instant replay review of the play. The replay official is supposed to look at EVERY play and if there's a question he is supposed to stop play until he gives it further review. Instant replay is worthless unless it's properly used.
Missouri kicked a field goal to make it 7-6 but it appeared from this seat that the Tigers should be leading 10-7.
