Kansas-Missouri referee goes down with injury after blocked field goal touchdown.

Kansas · Missouri

Instead, the game’s head referee was seen hobbling on the sidelines and in a ton of pain. Eventually, he was seen getting stretched out by a member of the training staff.

FOX brought on rules analyst Mike Pereira to explain the process in place. Nobody will wear a white hat for the time being.

However, there is some experience on the crew. “And so, they likely designated him as the one official to fill in if, in fact, this happened.

So, we just saw that Ron is in that position and if there’s a lack of an alternate, then they just have to work with [seven], most likely eliminating the back judge, possibly. It may end up taking out the center judge or the back judge.”
