Served up on a silver platter!
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I guess the SEC officiating crew was feeling bad about that call against Florida in the Auburn game, so they made it up to them with some of the most blatant bad calls and noncalls we’ve seen in a long time.
The fact that the Bulldogs were even in the game still late in the fourth quarter after five turnovers was amazing, and a testament to how resilient the Georgia team was and how underwhelming the Gators were.
Yes, Georgia’s offense was horrible in the first half, but they turned it around. However, the deck was stacked against them by the guys in black and white stripes. UGA should file a formal protest of the pass interference call not made on that last drive, and that was only one of several egregious cases where the zebras blew it.
Damn, how huge was that fumble at the start of the third quarter? Once again, Mark Richt was trying to run that sprint draw we all hate out of the shotgun with an offensive line that was typified by Daniel Inman, who didn’t even bother to try to keep his man out of the Georgia backfield, leading to the fumble.
And just wondering, how many passes does Martrez Milner have to drop before he gets benched for good?
Like I said, we shouldn’t have even been in the game still after that many turnovers, and full credit to Willie Martinez and the defense for adjusting after that first drive and controlling Tim Tebow.
More tomorrow.
