Some of the worst officiating I've seen in a while.

[VOL_Lyfe]

The edge always goes to the good team. We’ve been garbage for a long time and those garbage teams don’t get the close calls.

Every SEC ref has signed on to the #whiteboardsmatter campaign.

The flag that was picked after Tuttle was held was weird. That was definitely a hold.

 

[Carl Pickens]

Every fan base does this. Blame the officiating when your favorite team loses.

I'm not blaming them. I'm just pointing out what I saw. The block in the back would have brought their first TD back, but they may have scored anyway.... who knows.
The late hit they wasn't called was on their FG scoring drive and would have backed them up 15. It may not have made a difference either.
The guy getting popped took a helmet to the face and was then knocked completely off his feet.... runner is down and defenders standing there looking at him.

Thanks CP!

It’s sad to miss a call like this, but God forbid, one guy line up a half yard or less in the backfield on punt formation.
What a bunch of BS!

 

[Carl Pickens]

Warrior wanted no part of Nauta anyway

I kinda doubt that

 

[jacvols]

I kinda doubt that

I don't

 

[Carl Pickens]

I don't

What do you base this on?

No doubt we lose regardless but also no doubt there were some bad no calls. The targeting one blows my mind. They kick kids out for nothing every week and then don’t call it in an obvious targeting situation.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

There were at least two instances of targeting that weren't called.

We lost because Georgia is much better coached and have better players.

I would agree with one huge correction ....we lost because Georgia’s coach had much more talented players TO COACH...and a bunch of as in depth . JMO of course

Helton is not good

 

[The Ron Mexico]

Show me another example of the illegal formation call this year for any team that was similar.

Hold on while I scour every snap of college football this season. Gimme 'bout ten minutes.

 

[illinoisvolfan1]

Yes, the zebras missed some calls but we would have lost regardless.

The missed targeting call did tick me off.

 

[MAUSERWERKE]

I suspect if you gave Pruitt UGA’s roster and gave Smart UTs roster to play today’s game, you would not be saying that UGA was “ better coached.”

sad but true

 

[ETV]

The officiating was bad. But that's not why we lost.

True. It's been consistently bad in our games for quite sometime now but yes, refs didn't cause UT to lose this game.

 

[JCHateSteve]

I agree the officiating has been terrible. The SEC really seems to protect higher ranked teams. They get calls and no calls at a ridiculous rate. It's been going on for years.

It's a problem in close games, which tonight was not.

 

[LordBolton]

I missed the game, but saw the highlight of UGA's first TD. There was a pretty clear block in the back. He extended his arms and everything. I guess the officiating was just as bad at my kid's soccer game so it's just a general malaise and lack of professionalism among all officials?

Actions speak louder than words and we are not good and they are.

 

[JCHateSteve]

If you think that is mostly due to coaching, there's no helping you. Pruitt inherited a muscle car that had been rotting in a field for a decade after being set on fire. Smart inherited a sports car that needed a tune up. One takes longer to get race ready than the other.

 

[njvols]

We lost because Georgia is much better coached and have better players.

Question is, after the game, do we feel better or worse about the possibility of an SEC win this year? I think better...though not a given.

 

[GBOx2]

Yes, the zebras missed some calls but we would have lost regardless.

The missed targeting call did tick me off.

Even my 9-year old caught the missed targeting call AND the block in the back on their 1st touchdown run. It was bad enough to watch the missed calls but then I had to listen to him complain about them for the rest of the game. UGH...

 

[LibertyVol]

It would be nice to just see the game called correctly, win or lose.

 

[UT's#1Fan]

UGA was going to win this game. The refs made sure of that.

Holding? Nah...
Pass interference? Nah...
Targeting? Nah...

Lined up three inches behind the line? Penalty.

Oh, UGA doesn't have any timeouts left? Injured ref.

Maybe it was just my eyes, but this game seemed like it was over before it started.

missed a blatant block in the back on UGA during the fumble scoop score.

The missed targeting was rediculous. Pruitt should have slow snapped to give replay booth more time. Instead we snap it like WE don't want the replay booth to look at it. Classic.

Why? lol
