The Mississippi State Bulldogs are hanging tough with 2016 Heisman winner Lamar Jackson and the Louisville Cardinals in the TaxSlayer Bowl, but aren’t being done any favors by the refs.

In the second quarter, Louisville WR Jaylen Smith made a catch and was running along the sideline when he lost control of the football. Then, he was hit by a Mississippi State defender, who was flagged for a late hit.

However, as you can see in the video below, shared on Twitter by @Troy_Eckleberry, the fumble landed in bounds, and Smith wasn’t out of bounds when he was hit. Still, the refs didn’t review the play and awarded the Cardinals the penalty yards on a drive in which the Cardinals scored a touchdown to tie the game:

That was a tough blow for the Bulldogs, but they have battled back under backup QB Keytaon Thompson.

Late in the second quarter, the Bulldogs lead the Cardinals 17-14 and have been moving the ball well against Louisville’s defense.
