Former Missouri quarterback Chase Daniel criticized a controversial fumble ruling during Texas' 34-20 victory over Missouri in a game held at Faurot Field in Dallas. The incident occurred late in the third quarter when Missouri's Brian Huff hit Archie Manning, causing the ball to travel 14 yards past the line of scrimmage. Initially, officials ruled it a fumble, but replay allowed the Texas Longhorns to retain possession and gain a first down.
This ruling led to Texas tying the game three plays later and eventually securing a 34-20 win. Daniel expressed his disbelief at the decision, calling it the "most ridiculous call I've ever seen," noting the confusion among the ESPN broadcast team. The decision sparked outrage, as five video reviews that day favored Texas, including one that overturned a Missouri recovery. Missouri never scored after the touchdown, allowing Texas to capitalize on the favorable ruling.
