Refereeing Controversies
As thrilling as the game can be, it also brings its fair share of controversies. Recent discussions have surfaced about officiating inconsistencies, particularly regarding calls for targeting. In the recent game between Texas and Arizona State, an apparent helmet-to-helmet hit raised questions over officiating standards and fairness. Critics argue that if the same hit were incurred by a team like Texas, the reaction would differ because of the perceived bias towards traditional powerhouse teams.
