Mizzou fans livid after pass interference calls lead to points
Few things are more automatic than fans venting about at perceived bad call.
Boy, did officials give Missouri fans a couple of early reasons to head to Twitter on Saturday.
Officials called a pair of pass interference penalties on the Tigers that led to 10 West Virginia first-half points.
The first penalty was on a third down deep pass that sailed out of the end zone, uncatchable. Given new life, West Virginia scored on a 23-yard run the next play for a 10-0 lead.
Missouri bails out WVU with pass interference in the end zone on third-and-11, Shell scores on a 23-yard run on the next play. 10-0, WVU.

The second penalty, also into double coverage, also looked uncatchable. It led to a field goal and a 13-0 West Virginia lead.
The throw into double coverage and get the Pass Interference play call is probably the best in Dana's book

Of course, West Virginia fans didn’t exactly see it the same way.
Another pass interference. They can't run with our receivers. Where's that #SEC speed? #WVU #Big12
