Texas Tech edges Houston in controversial finish over officiating calls

The No. 13 Texas Tech Red Raiders played against the No. 22 Houston Cougars on Friday night, culminating in a tight finish that saw Houston attempt a 2-point conversion to tie the game. Houston quarterback Conner Weigman's effort was ruled unsuccessful after officials deemed his knee was down before the ball crossed the goal line. This call preserved Texas Tech’s 28-26 lead, which they maintained after an ensuing onside kick went out of bounds. Fans expressed outrage over the officiating on social media, with some implicating Texas Tech Board of Regents chairman Cody Campbell in the discussions surrounding the controversial calls. The outcome of this game may have significant implications for the Big 12 standings moving forward.
