SEC officials getting roasted for horrible calls during Fiesta Bowl

The Fiesta Bowl naturally has an SEC officiating crew, and things aren’t going well.

TCU currently leads Michigan 21-6 at halftime.

The Southeastern Conference officiating crew missed 2 huge calls in the first half, with a call going against both teams.

First, Michigan looked like it would score its first touchdown of the night on a long reception; however, after the review, the call was somehow overturned. The very next play, Michigan fumbled on the goal line to give the ball back to TCU.

Does this look like a touchdown? It does to us, too.

I don’t even like Michigan but the player literally bobbles it and gets possession in the end zone so it should’ve been a td . Can’t miss this call in a game with this high stakes pic.twitter.com/dcAU3bUJsr

Later, the crew called a roughing the passer penalty on TCU against Michigan quarterback JJ McCarthy, and the call was very suspect at best.

Roughing the passer call on TCU… That’s a soft call imo. C’mon man. pic.twitter.com/I7FDYfRoXT

Needless to say, college football fans took to social media to discuss the first-half calls.

Between the BS overturned TD call on Michigan and the BS roughing the passer call on TCU, it is evident that whatever conference the #FiestaBowl officials are from did not send their best.

Better effort needed from the 3rd team on the field.
