WATCH: Deja vu? Block from ref leads to TD for yet another Mizzou opponent

When Mizzou was hosting Georgia earlier this year, an interception from Tiger QB Drew Lock was returned for a touchdown with a ridiculous-looking assist from a referee.
On Saturday in the Liberty Bowl against Oklahoma State, Mizzou had another run-in with a ref, leading to a touchdown for the Cowboys.
As you can see in the video below, a Mizzou safety runs into the referee, allowing the Oklahoma State receiver to get free and sprint to the end zone for a 30-yard touchdown:

The ref was in a tough position, of course, but there was probably something (literally anything else) he could have done to avoid setting a pick.
What’s done is done, though, and the Tigers are dealing with some deja vu early in the Liberty Bowl.
