Even With the Win --- Just Another Poorly Officiated Game

I’m going to give you the benefit and assume that’s not directed at me. I didn’t throw our team under the bus. We’re 100+ in the country in penalties. We’re an extremely undisciplined team AND the officiating is poor. If you can’t accept that two things can be true then I don’t know what to tell you.

The officiating is bad but some of these folks have a serious case of main character syndrome.

That pissed me off but it was hard to see for sure from where we were sitting. Looked like a clean hit. Then the other play on the two point conversion where the defender pulled up. You call that BS too much and defenders won’t pull up at all bc they figure they’re going to get flagged anyways.

Wtf happened to Campbell? We absolutely blasted #1 for Vandy. Appeared to be personal 😂

Campbell is a freaking mental case, no room on the field for someone soft between the ears.

It was stupid, definitely the right call but not worthy of ejection. You learn early in football, standing over a tackle is not a safe place to be.

Bama’s tackle didn’t even get a flag for the knee he put into McCoy’s back. He ran just as far as Campbell and the play was just as dead.

I've been critical of officiating in the SEC and throughout the country. I remain so.

Intention vs incompetence is debatable.The need for more scrutiny is not.

College Football refs are a joke and something has to be be done. There can't be this level of inconsistency.

But...
It would really help if Tennessee didn't commit as many penalties.

It throws a hitch in my get along.

The roughing the passer call looked debatable to me. But in the present environment, a smart player will show the officials something, like rolling to the side and not falling squarely on the quarterback, to protect himself from getting flagged. It kinda sucks, but if it can cut down on those expensive penalties, players need to make the effort.

100%. Stupid penalty, but not that egregious, the play wasn’t blown dead. Keep your composure and get your revenge on the guy legally the next play.

Off the top of my head...............

134 college teams
72 games a week
Over 500 officials just for FBS


32 NFL teams
16 games a week
About 130 officials for NFL


Really hard to get 500 people to be great at their job.


Many suck at their jobs............It's all over college football. Not just UT

Not sure how the CFP will set up for officiating, but it may not make a difference.
It should always be a concern and now an officiating crew could be classified as an unknown variable to the game.
We have witnessed bias calls and incompetent calls in our game as well as others.
It is as if the game has gotten away and too fast for the crews.
Games like ours today contribute to injuries as well.
I watch a lot of football and the cameras do catch what Refs do not, but something needs to done to catch missed calls. For example, ND player punch an USC player intentionally in the helmet while he was on the ground. This is bull crap.
Officiating for the CFP as will it will for the bowl games need to be able to hold officials accountable during or after the game.

The most ridiculous part of the Notre Dame punching thing was they were reviewing the play anyway, so they had to see the punch in the face. Penalties can be called if seen in reviews, and they simply chose to ignore it.

Need a rule change to allow each team a challenge each half. If they overturn the call you keep your challenge. Don’t want to slow the game down even more, but the officials are changing the outcome of some games. The no call targeting on the GT QB fumble last night is a recent example of poor officiating changing the outcome of the game.

Yeah, that was textbook targeting. But in all honesty, after watching the replay, I didn't think it would get called. Not because it wasn't, but because it would possibly affect the outcome of the game.

Disagree. He never had his hand inside the jersey grabbing the shoulder pads, and he took him down sideways, not backward. I thought it was an awful call live, but the replay made it worse.

I absolutely agree. Watching the replay, it was obvious that he wasn't guilty of a horse collar tackle. His top hand was on the shoulder pads, not even close to the neck of the jersey. One I haven't seen mentioned, the time false start was called on Tennessee, the defensive player jumped into the neutral zone and caused the right guard to react. The same thing happened to other times later in the game, and both times they called offsides against the defense.

i can’t figure out what he was supposed to do once Pavia was up in the air. Gently lower him to the turf?

Just not drive him into the ground. It’s literally as simple as that.

It’s a foul in CFB. It’s a foul and a fine on Sundays.

What is the point of all this. Refs in all games are missing plays. TN called for riding QB to the ground but later on watched Bama do the same thing to Auburn and no call. Watched Georgia Tech QB get targeted and fumbled and not called even though that was a game changing no call. Would have been first down and clock runs out. Seen a couple of forearms to the head while tackling and no calls in other games.

That one looked legit to me. Even if it was a bad call, I can see why an official would flag it.

In my opinion to make that call you have to have definatively seen him grab the player by inside the collar of the shoulder pads, which he did not do. Replay showed he grabbed his shoulder. This needs to be a reviewable call if it isn't already.

I wish they’d just hire another official and make him a replay assistant that could quickly fix things like that.

The horse collar call was the biggest BS call of the year.

And when they ripped the helmet off our guy I can’t remember the player. We got a flag at Georgia for doing it. And they finally figured out what the neutral zone is
