Those griping about the refs

The fact that you can watch that video and say it was a TD says you're 100% a homer man... It's not even close

Was his hand off the ball at the beginning of stripe?

Where is your indisputable evidence his hand is off the ball at the stripe?

Calling me a homer is not evidence of anything except your lack of answers.

Yes, yes it is. You need to read the rule for delay of game so here it is.

In American football, an offensive team is penalized five yards for delay of game if it fails to put the ball in play by either snap or free kick before the play clock expires. This time limit varies by league, and is often 25 seconds from the time the referee signals the ball ready for play. In the National Football League, it can also be 40 seconds from the end of the previous down, depending on the circumstances at the time. Also, the defensive team can be given the same penalty if they fail to quickly yield the ball to officials after a play has ended, prevent a player on the offense from getting up after the play, or kicking the ball.


Even the commentators knew the rule.

Thank you, you just proved my point. Which of these did he do?

Did he have the ball, not giving it back to said ref? Nope
Was he on top of a player? Nope
Did he kick the ball? Nope

They penalized them for stomping his foot. That is NOT a rule, please show me otherwise. Perhaps you should learn something.

I cringed when we left so much time left on the clock. Was hoping we would milk it a little more but you gotta score when you can. Also still don't understand not taking a TO in the first half with 2 min left. We let them run it out.

Like giants pats Super Bowl it was mostly same situation let them score get more time.
Vols got so use to moving the ball they couldn't get foot off the pedal, and I have no doubt dawgs purposely let them score.

I was so happy to hear on radio the td along with large hole but then realize need a lot of time they let them score.

I can see why it was called the way it was but watch closely how Pig cups his hand. After that, his hand makes a distinct downward motion. If he had just "lost" the ball, his hand probably doesn't do that. I can see how someone can argue he held on long enough. That is why some are saying it has to be indisputable. It is a tough call, but I can see both sides. Call me homer all you want, but after watching it 25 times, I can see the argument that he holds on.

Please tell me how this applied in said situation....

I agree that it helped our cause, but I saw it right away and said that the penalty was on UGA. A defensive player cannot try to simulate the snap and therefor cause an offensive player to jump. It doesn't get called very often, but if an official believes that a defensive player is faking or purposely trying to cause the offense to move other than in a normal defensive move, then they will call it. It has been flagged many times before. I don't see the big deal. Overall, for the last 15 years, the SEC officiating has been terrible. But we had a chance to win regardless of penalties.

No, no it is not...how many times have you seen defenses all shift at the same time, run forward and stop on a blitz before backing up, or just dropping to one knee quickly or standing up.

The refs blew that call, and even the head of officials said they blew that call. But, I'm sure you know more than them also

Actually you are 100% wrong about this. It is a real penalty, any time a defender moves and causes an offensive person to move then the foul is on the defense. That rule has been in place for several years and it is called all the time. It's the same as the defense saying "hut" etc. As a defender you can't simulate the snap in order to draw the offense into a false start. If the o doesn't move they don't call it unless they don't get back across, but if the offense moves, as in the game yesterday, the call is on the defender.

It is only called if the defense jumps into the neutral zone, causing the offense to jump. Or if the defense is yelling hut, or something similar. Stomping your foot like you're rushing is completely legal. The head of officials already said it was a bad call, and that they would be educating the crew working the game.

You can argue if you want, but it's not a penalty. It helped us and I'll take it, but it shouldn't have been called

I'm sure this guy also said it was OK to illegally review plays after another play had started and then to penalize the coach they screwed over because he had the audacity to call out their mistake. He probably also said it's OK not to call blatant holding on UGA while their O lineman is actually skiing behind a D lineman that would have had a sack but instead call a PF that nobody can find to replay as well as BS PI calls giving UGA 4 "do overs" down the stretch as well but that doesn't matter.

The bottom line is that ANYTHING to simulate the snap that actually draws an offensive player into a false start is a penalty on the defense, whether that is yelling "hut", jumping into the neutral zone, jumping toward the LOS like the UGA player did, those are all penalties. If he had just stomped his foot it would not have likely been called, but that "stomp" was a move toward the LOS simulating the snap and one of the offensive guys moved. Good and correct call. It has been called against us before as well.

You're wrong man. If the head ref comes out and even says it was a misinterpretation of the rules, are you seriously argueing that he is wrong also? Lol, just wow man

with uga in the top 10, no way UT was going to get that call--the crooked SEC refs are looking after the top teams

Lol at the OP. Start a thread calling for fans to stop talking about something.

I haven't seen the "head official" say any such thing on this case, but if he did then and he truly believed it then he would be saying just a stomp, not a rush toward the line that caused the offense to move. But who knows I have seen them say a certian rule should be one way one week, then another way the next week, whichever way they need it to look so they can save face. Kind of like they say it's OK to "let them play" at the end one week but then next week say "if it's a foul in the first minute it's a foul in the last" depending on which way needs cover that week.

So you are saying this depends on situation which can make for a lot of inconsistency.

Boom. Junky. They stopped that play long after the snap. I could kind of see if whistle blew right at snap but long after snap. No, that was definitely a red MISTAKE!

Georgia had to win regardles. They can't have more than one loss by the time they play Bama in the SECCG! Common sense tells you that because Bama needs that to make sure they play in the NC.
