As a Dawgs fan, Bama got robbed on that PI no-call. But also their offensive line was holding all night, most notably their center in the first TD play, and it wasn't called. A good game ruined by all around bad refereeing.
WSB is going to get A LOT of angry calls. I understand they’re trying to help by telling people to get to shelter but my God there are way better ways to communicate it that aren’t putting that girl up there to give live play by play for 20 minutes
Fair, but also the gloss over from the commentators of the targeting no call was some real “don’t bite the hand that feeds us” shit. Say what you want about that play and who hit who first, but the player went in helmet down and if they are really concerned about player safety, that is targeting every time.
“We’d like to take this free second to remind you of all the times Bama won in this series and never show anything from the literal last time they played.”
You don’t know what holding is “In football, the NCAA holding "rip logic" refers to the official rule exception where offensive holding is not called if a defensive player uses a "rip" technique. When a defensive pass rusher ducks under an offensive lineman and "rips" their arm upward to gain leverage, the motion naturally forces the offensive lineman's arm around the defender's neck or shoulders.”
Not only was bama holding, a couple of the holding calls on UGA were EGREGIOUSLY soft calls. I’m pretty sure one of the ones on a TE wasn’t even holding, he just blocked a dude so hard the ref assumed he was held.
As a Badger fan, I thought if anything the refs were favoring bama, especially with offensive line holds. The one bama TD was a blatant holding and the defensive lineman even had his arms up in the air like WTF.
Yeah, I hate that all that people will remember from this game is that BS no call. So many no calls on them all night too, I was pissed at the refs all night. Idk what the solution is, but the NCAA, SEC, or whoever has power needs to do something about these refs if they want people to continue caring about this sport.

Thats how I feel! Turns out I started noticing more when I got a bigger TV a few years back. They all hold, every play, almost every lineman. I think they really wait to see if it affects the play before they throw the flag (which is not the right answer).
Full disclosure, an Alabama fan here. Georgia played their hearts out. With rb1/rb2 and wow apparently rb3 and rb4, they are definitely in contention for #1 team in the country. But I think AL is a couple refinements away from the same #1 spot. I hope they come angry for the rest of the year.
This is why it's so often lame. Fans don't know what holding actually is. If a defensive linemen does a rip move, which is what happened on that play the offensive linemen is allowed to stay engaged on the block. It's called the rip move exception, and if it didn't exist d-linemen would just rip every single play and always draw a flag.
