Georgia's last TD was a gift.


Actually, the worst was the offsides call when GA blocked the punt.

ETA: I don't have a dog in this fight. It was a damn good game.

It was a false start by Bama that they missed on the blocked punt we should have been re-kicking anyway.

Same here. but here is some logic for debate.

Bama fans have countered that the Bama player was offsides on the punt so the play would have been dead anyway. The call was that UGA player was offsides which replay showed to be false. This negated the blocked punt. You cannot assume that the Refs would have then called the Bama player offsides as that call was never made. If you do make that assumption then you have to use same logic on the game tieing TD where Najee Harris was offsides but was not called. The refs must have meant to call it but did not...

Therefore you are correct that the UGA player offsides on blocked punt was one of the most significant referee errors.
