That's a convenient narrative to avoid looking at Tulsa's actual performance. They finished 4-8 with a negative scoring margin, so blaming officiating for a perfect season is pure fantasy. The real issue was their defense ranking 120th nationally in yards per play allowed. You can't point to three calls when the team consistently failed to get stops. Every fan base thinks the refs are against them, but Tulsa's turnover margin and red zone defense were the actual problems. The league isn't managing a narrative for a .500 team.
