Missouri Seeks SEC Review of Officiating in Loss to Texas
Missouri has formally requested a review from the Southeastern Conference concerning the officiating during their recent 34-20 loss to No. 8 Texas, with a disputed third-quarter fumble call that led to a Texas touchdown being a central point of contention.
Springfield, MO, November 10, 2026 — Missouri has officially lodged a formal request with the Southeastern Conference (SEC) for a review of the officiating in their recent football game against No. 8 Texas. The Tigers suffered a 34-20 defeat in the contest.
The central focus of Missouri’s request appears to be a contentious fumble call that occurred during the third quarter of the game. This particular call directly contributed to a touchdown for the Texas Longhorns, officials and representatives for Missouri have indicated.
While the specific details of the review process initiated by the SEC were not immediately available, such requests typically involve a thorough examination of game film and officiating decisions. The conference office is expected to analyze the disputed play in question, assessing whether the call on the field was consistent with conference officiating standards.
The outcome of this review is not expected to alter the result of the game, as official rulings on the field are generally considered final in terms of game scoring and final tallies. However, these reviews can sometimes lead to disciplinary actions or provide clarification on officiating protocols for future games.
The loss to No. 8 Texas marks a significant result for Missouri in their ongoing season. The team’s decision to formally protest a specific officiating call underscores the perceived impact of the disputed fumble on the game’s trajectory. Further details regarding the SEC’s findings, if they are made public, will be reported as they become available.
