    I didn't understand that call at all. The flag was thrown, then picked up and the play was allowed to stand. Okay, there was no targeting, but wasn't there still roughing the passer on that play? If so, the play should not have been allowed to stand. Doesn't make sense. Any thoughts on this?

    SEC official are horrible, contact was made to the head, but no the vandy player did not lower his head, if he did... he would have never made contact with the helmet.

    SEC officiating is the worst.

    It made no sense to me either. I’d love an explanation

    Official and officials of officials NEVER have to explain botched calls.

    See Saints’ call last year. Imagine the amount of money the Saints organization lost because there was a refusal to acknowledge.

    The refs blew the call.

    In the era of so called player safety, to pick up that flag is ridiculous.

    But Devin White gets suspended for a half for shoving someone in the chest.

    The answer was in the game thread... SEC refs suck

    Ive always felt like officials should be subject to post game press conferences. The lack of accountability is total bullshit.
