Joel Klatt rips officiating in TCU-Texas game
Jamie Plunkett
Texas fans will say the game was stolen from them. TCU fans will say they’re 7-2 against Texas since joining the Big 12.
“Twenty-seven penalties? That’s insane,” Klatt said. “It was certainly one of the most poorly-officiated games that I’ve ever seen. Certainly at the end, there’s going to be a lot of controversy with what happened. TCU intentionally held Texas in order to get those six seconds off the clock but Duggan certainly stepped out of the back of the end zone before the clock hit zero. Then there’s a penalty on TCU. Doesn’t feel like that should be the end of the game if Tom Herman could have declined the penalty and reviewed how much time was left on the clock, they would at least have some opportunity for a return. Not that they would have won the game, but it certainly didn’t end in a very Kosher fashion.”
TCU and Texas was a penalty filled mess, but it wasn’t on the Cheez-It Bowl level | Fort Worth Star Telegram
The Cheez-It Bowl was a glorious disaster. TCU-Texas was just your basic officiating tire fire.
