Agree. And nobody should think that it wasn’t by design. Just no possible way all those blatant calls by multiple referees get called if it’s not by design.I have zero love for either of the teams, but the refs screwed USCe, flat out changed the momentum of the game with their highly subjective calling of penalties.
We’ll be playing in a monsoon, and we can’t run the ball.
This game will be close.
Yeah that what a block comment. I was like did he not see what we saw lol.Honest to God. So now you grab a hold of the back of the opposing player’s jersey and tug on it for 60 yards right out in the open, right in front of the referee, on camera, shielding the ball carrier from the defender? And Greg McElroy will praise you for the job you just did, while holding the guy right in front of the play? Bizarre
This is one of the rare times that I was cheering for Florida and it was for that very reason... but yeah, the calls and no calls went in Florida's direction today. They got some breaks.Agree.

That said, glad SCar lost, would’ve been much tougher for us to deal with if they come to Neyland next week win back to back wins vs Georgia and Florida, would’ve had too much positive momentum imo. Now, perhaps we get a bit of a deflated SCar team that over looks a 2-win Tennessee.

I do not believe the refs were one sided. Just bad. A horrible spot gives SoCar a 1st down that leads to points. A missed false start on a long TD run for Florida........
Actually there’s too much to point out. Both fan bases have a legitimate complaint
You can't equate a first down that shouldn't have been, with two touchdowns that shouldn't have been. The false start should have negated one touchdown before the play even began and that pick play was obvious... and it led to another touchdown. The consequences of the missed calls were not equal at all.I do not believe the refs were one sided. Just bad. A horrible spot gives SoCar a 1st down that leads to points.

We could go all day with this. Re-watch it with a neutral perspective. Big PI’s not called on Van Jefferson and Pitts, both were broken tackles away from possibly scoring. Copeland literally gets punched in the face on a play. Bad facemask on a UF RB missed which would have kept a drive alive. No pick called on SC’s last TD which was just as obvious as UF’s. Horrible spots on several plays against UF. 38-27, period.
