After the game he sounded like an sec spokesman and basically said nothing about it.

He's being diplomatic in the hopes that it will be reviewed and overturned. It's really the only chance he has. If he's critical, it's more likely they will dig in their heels and uphold the bad call. Not to mention the refs have long memories and it doesn't help you to have an adversarial relationship with them.

I saw the play, and it was a beautiful hit. My question is, is what the **** happened to football? It seems like year by year it just deteriorates. Sissy ass bull****, oh god you can't hit anyone hard, player has to be ready for hit??? WTF!!!! Football used to be a war, players getting the holy **** knocked out of them every play, now it's turned into a softball game on Saturdays and Sundays. I really wish they would stop all this complete protection sissy bull****.

Can they reverse the outcome of the Duke-Miami game? I think that crew takes the crown for worst officiating of the day.

To answer the question though, yes they can and will overturn the ruling. Even the commentators were saying it was a horrible call. Said it should have been a fumble too. I will say that was the best thing Moseley has done all year. Good to see the front of his jersey for a change. Excellent and legal hit.

I say put flags on them, or better yet, really cool 'laser tag' vests.. Then we'll never have to see anymore of the senseless violence committed by football players every weekend..

I'm for 'fundamentally transforming' the game of football..

I am m1al and I approve this message.....

This call has pissed me off to no end. Absolutely horrid call. Butch should knock down the SEC door and figure out why in the hell it was upheld. Could you imagine if this was a close game and it changes the outcome. Idk why but that **** is eating me up. Moseley made one hell of a football play.

The reason for the 'no criticizing the refs' rule is because deranged fans threaten refs and their families over things like this.

If he has to sit out of the first half of the USCe game, then there needs to be another rule/procedure change inspired by UT getting screwed (Dooley rule-10 second run off/standing over the ball until the defense has had an opportunity to match the offense's subs/nuking a basketball program for a coach lying about a BBQ but now allowing Blue Blood schools with fraudulent academic programs to go unpunished).

Nick Saban and spurrier don't mind publicly calling out refs, reporters, the sec and so on. If butch brought attention to it the media would have his back and the sec would have to issue a statement about being wrong and overturn the suspension. We have plenty of money to reimburse butch and our ad for the fine. Grow a pair coach and defend your players.

"I've been in other leagues and in bowl games and our officials do a marvelous job here. Are they perfect? No. Do they make everything perfect? Probably not. None of us do. But the spirit of making corrections should be done through the proper channels in the SEC office." - Nick Saban

“Nothing ever really happens too much to make referees accountable except maybe at the end of the year some of them are not rehired,” Spurrier said. “They are kind of told to retire if they have too many bad calls.”

“Their quarterback was clearly in the end zone,” Spurrier said. “Everybody could see that. I just wish the head referee would have come talk to me. He would not come talk to me. I don’t know how they explained it. We may never know how he explained it.”

Spurrier isn't afraid to speak his mind, he's not scared to get fined or defend his players.

Kiffin made it clear he was not worried about getting a reprimand for his comments.

"I'm sure we'll get one of those letters that really means nothing as Bobby got last week, but Florida and Alabama live on," he said Sunday.

Kiffin wasn't scared

"I don't even know why we have replay right now in the Southeastern Conference if they're not going to utilize it," Mullen said.

"That's twice now that they've blown calls on the replay with our games, resulting in big plays, and I think that's unexcusable for that official. I hope he's severely punished if he ever works another SEC game again, because I think it's completely Unacceptable"

This will be a classic case of the league saying it was a bad call, but sticking behind their refs and upholding the suspension out of principle.

He also said: "When they hit you when you're on the white, it's supposed to be a late hit, a 15-yard penalty. Unfortunately, in Florida, they don't call it that way."

Petrino said Sunday: "It's unfortunate that in the fourth quarter there's probably three plays that the officials made the difference in the game."

"That should have been a penalty, in my opinion," Meyer said. "It should have been. You have to protect the quarterbacks. It was right in front of the referee. I'm not sure how (the SEC) is going to handle that."

Urban doesn't mind publicly going after officials.

Only thing they might say was Mosley didn't try to wrap up?

Yeah I think of Mosley goes to the ground with him it might not have been called. The flag was really late almost 10 seconds after the play was over. I think the ref saw him standing over an almost unconscious receiver and threw the flag.

Butch should defend his players, Mosley did everything perfect and not only got kicked out the game but is subject to another suspension for doing everything exactly right. The media would be on butchs side and force the sec to admit they were wrong. Butch Uses the word family a lot, have your players back man.

Moseley got robbed on a great play. SEC needs to fix this.

Here is the problem. The SEC is not accountable for their own incompetence. There is no cost to them for bad decisions.

Teams can suffer games and titles for poor performance.
Players suffer the loss of playing time for poor performance
Coaches suffer loss of income for poor performance
Programs suffer probation and exposure for breaking rules

But these conferences answer to no one. They make their own rules and have zero accountability.

IF, the SEC stands behind the ruling on the field at UK on this play then it shows that it supports such incompetence. It also shows that that there is NO credibility in college football.

As paying patrons of SEC programs, we were all cheated last night by a non-transparent bureaucracy that will probably demonstrate this week that they will do nothing to correct their own manufactured injustices to players, teams, and the fans that generate millions of dollars.

The only way to correct this perception is to take corrective action, reinstate Moseley, and publicly apologize to SEC Nation for their incompetency.

This is not a UT problem. It is a SEC problem.
