It is not reaching. I refer you to the classic chant "Can't hear, can't see. I want to be a referee." That was clearly illustrated last night.

But the refs were English Premier League-level awful.

People’s heads would explode if they were aware of the bs going on in the premier league the past year and if something similar to that was happening in one of our major leagues. Refs and the VAR are straight corrupt.

Refs in the SEC have always “protected” the higher ranked/favored teams. For years. Decades

being a ref is the toughest job on the field, IMO. That said, the back judge throwing the offensive PI from 50 yards away on the opposite side of the field tells me he wasn't watching HIS part of the field. Blatantly inept.

The rest were just middling in ineptitude.

Also saw Hunter absolutely bearhug a defender on one of Thorns' scampers there towards the end. It was very obvious but they never blew the whistle so yah....they were bad

That's why I wonder if these last two crews were puzzle crews. Put eight together and see if they work out ....

The first OM possession we were called for PI - for a GREAT defensive play - nowhere close to interference. I was bouncing around the room on my head cursing like a Babylonian sailor when it was shown again

Coach Freeze noted it in his presser without being too blatant in his criticism of the play.

We would have stopped the drive and they would have tried a field goal - but the call extended the drive and they got the TD. BAD CALL.

among many - ball spots were like we were playing bama they got away with holding/tackling our defenders

One other point, I dont think Thorne at QB is really the issue, I think our receivers have not learned how to run accurate routes instead...

One other issue, our linebackers still dont seem to know where to go nor take the correct angles.

Nixon is badly undersized, our DBs are mostly SEC caliber

Year one of the Hugh Freeze rebuild - have to be patient. 2025 the serious improvement should begin with another year after that to reaching national heights AU is used to

Freeze knows exactly how far he can push before the SEC starts taking from his paycheck.

The coaches gets their opinions by way of complaints to the offices ....the public does no good.
