Texas Tech football: Big 12 officiating has become a farce in 2019

I try to avoid putting a loss on officials. Over the course of any game, there are going to be more than just one or two moments when the game changes and most have nothing to do with errors by the referees. But Texas Tech football fans and the rest of the Big 12 have had enough of the incompetence of the Big 12 referees in 2019.

Saturday was just the lastest day in which close games were essentially decided by calls that the officials simply botched. In fact, there were two.

Of course, Tech fans saw one of those up close in their 30-27 loss to Kansas State.
