Referees are supposed to be one of the few people that aren’t biased during a game. This referee during the Mississippi State-Texas A&M game seems anything but neutral.
Mississippi State is giving Texas A&M all they can handle and it appears a little more. A referee fist pumps after a Mississippi State touchdown. Is this really a referee cheering on the Bulldogs or a simple misunderstanding?

While this wasn’t seen by many on the field, Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin was less than pleased about the officiating overall.
Kevin Sumlin to SEC Network: ".. We get called for roughing passer, then a guy (A&M QB) is drug down on other sideline & nothing happens”

Some are saying that the move is used for the line judges to know that the player has entered with possession. If that were the case, wouldn’t this be seen by plenty of other people each week? Either way, this will surely be looked at by the SEC, fans will likely be level headed about this next week, right?
