Missouri vs. Texas A&M (Photo via ESPN)
College football fans are convinced the referees rigged Saturday’s clash between Texas A&M and Missouri in favor of the Aggies.
The former was headed to a blowout win at the time of writing, holding a 41-7 lead over the latter, while complaints over the officiating were rife on social media after multiple questionable calls went against the Tigers.
“Missouri should be up but the refs seriously are giving A&M the game,” someone shared. “As a football fan it’s just frustrating to watch. Refs shouldn’t be deciding the outcome of these critical games,”
“i’m not even a missouri fan and this is ridiculous😂,” a user agreed.

SEC refs are just horrific man…
Missouri getting absolutely rear-ended by the refs in College Station right now.

The refs playing on the side of Texas A&M against Missouri has been absurd.
-DPI call picked up on Missouri first drive which was momentum altering
-75 yard touchdown called back on second drive from a ghost call

Texas A&M Player Got Away With A Shove On One Of The Refs
Perhaps one of the most glaring incidents involved a Texas A&M wide receiver shoving a referee and not being flagged for it.
Muhsin Muhammad III, the son of former NFL Pro Bowl wide receiver Muhsin Muhammad II, is shown pushing an official in the video below. Surprisingly enough, he isn’t penalized.

It does appear that Muhammad didn’t know he was being held by a referee, but fans felt like he should have still been punished.
“After all they’ve done for him,” someone claimed.
“Honest question: How is this not a flag or something? Like you can’t push a ref, accident or not🤷♂️,” another person asked.
“NOT A FLAG Somehow,” a fan said.
“Aggies getting that home cooking from the refs, I see,” a comment read.
“No flag is insane lol,” someone added.
We’re probably going to hear a lot more about this game over the next few days.
