VIDEO: Ref Describes Missouri Roughing the Passer Penalty With Amusing Level of Detail
By Sam Dunn
Friday's college football slate is chock-full of rivalry games, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to love about the day's down-docket matchups. In fact, look no further than the SEC tilt in Fayetteville between Missouri and the hometown Arkansas Razorbacks. After the Hogs' second TD of the first half, officials flagged Mizzou for a roughing the passer penalty. And in describing the call, the referee's verbiage was... weighty.
? FUNNY REF PENALTY CALL ?

Yes, using his body weight to punish his opponent! Is this Rivalry Week, or Clegane Bowl? I really don't know due to Thanksgiving-induced delirium.
If you're watching this game, I'm tempted to say that I'm sorry. There are ranked matchups you could consume yourself with instead. But at the very least, you're being treated to the most detail-oriented, diction-conscious SEC referee on the payroll.
