Texas Tech-Baylor
A series of questionable calls in the Big 12 game between Baylor and Texas Tech. First, on Texas Tech’s go-ahead scoring drive in the fourth quarter. Jett Duffey threw an incomplete pass far out of bounds while being pressured in the end zone. No grounding call as refs ruled SaRodorick Thompson was in the area. Another issue occurred when Baylor center Jake Fruhmorgen snapped the ball off his leg and Jordyn Brooks pounced on it, yelling for it to be called a fumble. The referees declared it was an illegal snap, which FOX’s rules expert Dean Blandino disputed on the broadcast. Instead the play resulted in a five-yard penalty and Charlie Brewer threw a 32-yard pass to Mims. Baylor tried hurrying to the line and appeared to score on a QB sneak, but the refs called the play dead in order to review if Mims actually stepped out of bounds or scored a touchdown. He had clearly stepped out.
