SEC Officiating strikes again -- Missed goal line fumble by refs likely costs UT the game

How does this continue to happen within this conference?
Context: South Carolina is on UT's 1 yard line going for the score when their RB trips over his own player and begins to lose control of the ball, only to momentarily regain control and then lose control again for a second time and have the ball taken away by a UT linebacker on the 1 yard line.
The refs blow the play dead without ever reviewing and give the ball back to SC only to have them score a TD on the next play. Meanwhile both TV announcers on live TV keep repeating that that was definitely a fumble and UT got jobbed with a huge miss by the officials.

Pruitt went on to say that the officials didn't cause UT to have 9 penalties and struggle on the LOS -- That was on us and he took ownership of that. That being said, that's a game changing miss by the officials regardless. With as much money as the conference brings in, it's hard to wrap my mind around how terrible the officiating is at times.
This thread isn't intended to take anything away from the South Carolina football team. They played well and if the shoe were on the other foot and the roles were reversed, I would be happy that the referees missed the call had that been UT. That being said, this has got to get cleaned up. It's unacceptable that games are being negatively impacted/decided by people on the field other than the players with blatant misses or bad calls that end up causing teams the game.

Pruitt on the fumble at the goal line: "It was definitely a fumble. I saw that. Unfortunately for the officials, they only have certain angles they can see." Said it was obvious on Tennessee's film.

“Would probably make sense with how much money the SEC has, to get endzone cameras”

Only one way to handle this.......Billboards

From that video I can't really tell what happened.

Too long; Won't fit on billboard.

In case anyone is wondering, what the Volol is failing to omit is that the refs took away an obvious TD we had on the play before.

Horrendous call but it should not have come down to that iwabh

They probably should have reviewed it, but the video you linked does not show clear evidence of a fumble. And I agree more camera angles would help.

So here's the thing.
Pretty sure that they DID in fact call a time out as the next play was being run and they reviewed thr play.
Next I'll add this.
I had guests there sitting with us on the 50 yard line West Lower from Michigan, Maryland and New Jersey watching the same game and, to a man, they all remarked on how badly that game was called by that crew.
That crew missed so many holds by UT's OLine and WRs it was criminal. And that crew missed two obvious facemasks by a UT LB and DLineman.
So it cut both ways. It was a bad crew and it stood out even to fans from other schools ... fairly neutral fans. Even the women noticed it.
That crew sucked donkey balls.

I saw it live; it was a fumble.

What the Vols don’t want want you to know is refs stopped the play AFTER we scored a touchdown to review the play before that, taking away a touchdown.
Plus you can’t see any fumble happen on any angle. Take your loss and go home.

I mean, does it even matter anymore?

Are y'all gonna get a bill board too?

Buy the billboards you salty bish.
Posted on 10/29/18 at 1:05 pm to TRUERockyTop
If the billboards don't work, try incessant whining. If nothing else it will make everyone hate you enough that you can claim they're now your rivals.
