Despite a multiple-possession score difference, the Kansas State Wildcats’ victory over the Arizona Wildcats took a backseat to what many fans considered questionable officiating.

Kansas State beat Arizona 31-7, but many fans thought they had every call going their way. So much so that fans were accusing the officials of having money during the week three matchup.

Fans want the Kansas State Wildcats-Arizona Wildcats officials to be investigated

Kansas State Wildcats offensive linemen await the next play during the first quarter of the game against Arizona at Bill Snyder Family Stadium Friday, September 13, 2024.

While the game got away from Arizona as Kansas State was on its way to starting 3-0 for the first time since 2021, there was only a one-score deficit to be overcome by Arizona in the 3rd quarter.

Most fans upset with officiating thought Kansas State was constantly holding without getting called for it while Arizona wasn’t getting the same treatment. Fans thought it seemed like every time Arizona would have a big play it would be negated by a penalty on a questionable call from the officials.

While the majority of fans thought the officials were helping Kansas State, the on-air broadcast addressed a botched handling of the end of the second half that was in favor of Arizona.

Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson lost track of time and let the clock run out, but the officials missed a false start before the play with 11 seconds left. There would’ve been a 10-second runoff and Kansas State would’ve been pushed back five yards, but one second should have remained and Kansas State should have had a chance to kick a field goal.

Kansas State fans weren’t nearly as upset as Arizona fans given their dominant second-half performance. Arizona fans were so incensed with the officiating that they were calling for the crew to be investigated.
