Worst Call Ever

Of course not. There is ZERO accountability with the SEC refs and they continue to make horrible calls or no calls game after game. Was watching A&M-Auburn and they made some horrible no calls there.

I can’t wrap my ahead around how that call was missed. What did he see to throw that flag?

You think the default would be to not throw that penalty unless you are 100% sure because fans and broadcasters don’t even pay attention to formation rules.

It isn’t the reason we lost but it was an impactful call.

I’ve had this discussion with non-Bama fans for weeks now. SEC officiating isn’t just bad, it’s getting incompetent. Every week there are major bad calls that impact games. Meanwhile there appears to be nothing from the SEC office that indicates that they want to fix it.

This is an example of needing to be able to challenge stupid penalties. Idk if it would of made a difference but you just never know. This is up there with the michigan SC 1st down bs

Penalties involving calls made along the line, due to misalignment that is not a judgement call (like holding), should be open to a challenge by the coach.

While I don’t think it made a huge difference in the game, It absolutely stopped momentum and gave Alabama zero chance.

Imagine if it would have tied the game or put Alabama within a score?

That was the worst call I've ever seen but let's not forget they also let OU get away with multiple facemasks and hands to the face (which they've penalized us for countless times this year), egregious holding (which Kirk called out) and a pivotal PI on third down (which Kirk also called out).



Byrne better be in Sankey's office right now flipping chairs. Heads are gonna have to start rolling. There were several blown calls in the Tennessee game but one in particular wiped a potential TD off the board and we ultimately lost by one score.

People also forget LSU beat us in 2022 on a missed block in the back call that they call 100% of the time on us.

Do we still lose? More than likely. Does it affect the momentum of the game? Absolutely. Anybody who watches cfb knows momentum is a huge factor.

That one touchdown may not have affected the outcome of the game but it would have put us down 14 points with ten minutes left and of course, our first momentum swing of the night.

Our team, especially Williams, looked like they just had the wind sucked out of them. I knew at that point the dagger had been driven.

What would’ve been the reaction of this happened at BDS? I really hope bottles wouldn’t have been thrown, but they probably would have.

Hopefully the refs would have been pelted with rocks.

I didn't watch the Auburn game but heard they got fricked bigly as well so it's not exclusive to Alabama as this has been a conference wide trend for several

This is why I’m posting on a board and not a major AD. I’d be flipping chairs too.

Clearly the SEC office doesn’t care because it keeps happening to a lot of schools with no accountability.

It may actually have been the worst call I've ever seen. It is inexplicable what the official thought he saw. It's actually fortunate that it came in a lopsided game, because it would truly be sickening if that had negated a play to tie or take the lead.

You shouldn’t have to challenge a call that bad. In that situation, the replay booth should buzz the field and stop play and tell them to review that.

I probably don’t understand the rules well enough but I didn’t understand why they didn’t stop and review that?

Basically if you have 2 or more eligible receivers on the line of scrimmage on the same side of the formation, the inside receiver(s) are ineligible bc they are “covered up “

ETA- RW was not covered up and therefore was eligible to go out for a pass. If you look at the play in question , the TE would be considered covered up and can’t go out for a pass ( he didn’t )
