They outgained us by over 100 yards, had more first downs, and more time of possession
Imagine if they had shown where there was clear evidence to overturn the interception? Imagine they had used the same metric they did to call PI on Bama? That’s two chunks of yards, possession time, and most importantly at least two manageable fg opportunities to even the stats and more than even the score out.
I”ll say it again, I’m not big on blaming the refs. I get sick of hearing it too, but those two missed calls were pretty egregious.

This is the appropriate take. A multi-billion dollar industry is hiring part time contractors $2-$5K/game to officiate a sporting event watched by tens of millions of people every Saturday. Revenues have soared, they refuse to invest in a critical element of the game, and the product on the field shows it.

I’ve got some bad news for you. I was there in 1999. That was the most one sided called game I’ve ever seen in Oxford. They called holding and pass interference over and over against Ole Miss. Alabama tackled one receiver while the ball was in the air. And the holds were over and over to stop our line. But never called. 2002 was even worse. But didnt matter in the end. I’ve even watched them move a spot to give a first down in Tuscaloosa. Not your fault but this has been going on for decades. Not years.
This time you ended up on the wrong side. But traditionally Bama has gotten the calls. So live with it. We all had to.

SEC officials aren't good.
But if you watch the other conferences or see their refs during bowl games, you realize the SEC refs are actually better than the refs from other conferences.
It's sad.

It's unknowable to say what would have happened after a missed call unless it negates a score on the last play of a game, what we do know is UGA won 20-17.

LSU-Kentucky finds your complaints about the officiating amusing.

That long run by bama that set up their first score, was a blatant hold right at the point of attack, without it there is no hole and no gain.

If MLB can have replay for balls and strikes, the NCAA should be able to figure out how to use reply for PI and facemask. Give each team a couple of challenges a game. The Alabama ball carrier with the hand clearly grabbing the face mask and the the helmet coming off should be able to easily be corrected on replay.

quote:Everyone has been complaining about this for years. But, as long as they don't favor one over the other, it usually works out. These athletes move so fast I don't think they miss on purpose. I just don't want more replays but maybe the answer is more on the field officials but please God, not more replays. I assume the biggest miss was the pretty obvious pass interference on Georgia in the endzone.
but the SEC has to do something about its officials...
