Thought he was out, but that was a solid throw by Fromm on 3rd and long.

The more egregious no call was the play that Calvin Ridley caught the TD pass on 4th down.

Najee Harris was in the back of the end zone and was absolutely mauled by the LB covering him. Pretty certain that pass was intended for Najee but Ridley came from the other direction and nabbed it.

Didn’t make a difference in the game and would have been declined but the fact that they didn’t throw the flag was ridiculous.

Wasn't that the same play that Harris had gotten away with a false start?

It all kind of blends together. The game was bizarrely poorly officiated in general, although I thought the call in the OP was correctly decided to be inconclusive.

Black touching white IS conclusive. He's out of bounds.


ok you changed my mind, out of bounds, black is most definitely touching white, I concede

^^^^this. It was about as obvious as it gets. Should’ve backed them up and forced nick to kick it.....which Bama would’ve obviously missed

I don't remember this play.


I need to know if the call benefited Alabama or Georgia before deciding if it was wrong.

UGA got a td on this play, the receiver ran on to the end zone

It benefited Georgia, but the extent of that benefit is unknown. If he was called out, UGA still would have been 1st and 10 on Bama's 20ish yard line iirc

No.....right call. Would have been a travesty to overturn that TD

I thought he was out, but was comfortable with the call not to over turn. If it's close IMO the default is designed to leave it to the decision that was made on the field. I get frustrated when it's close and they switch the call.

One thing is for sure, whoever made those lines was drunk.

My question is that painted white on green or is that a seam where the green and white meet?

Painted. There's more soccer games played on that field than football games.
