The Texas A&M football team moved to 5-3 on the year with a 30-17 win over South Carolina in Week 9. However, Jimbo Fisher knows it should've been a higher score for the Aggies. Tight end Max Wright had a touchdown overturned in a very questionable call by the referees. As such, Fisher didn't hold back one bit toward the referees, per Matt Connolly of On3.
“We scored a touchdown, which was a touchdown. I’m not going to sit here and say it isn’t…I’m going to be honest with you, I think the game was called very well. … And I can see that guy saying, ‘Hey, that’s not a touchdown.’ But when you review it, the explanation I got, the only problem I had with it is they said they couldn’t tell if the ball moved. Well if you couldn’t tell if the ball moved, it didn’t move. So if his foot’s down and the ball didn’t move, isn’t that a touchdown? So that’s a touchdown.”
