Ex-NFL Referee Weighs in with Verdict on SEC Officials Flagging Arkansas Nearly to Dust

The only thing more popular amongst football fans than Monday morning quarterbacking is Monday morning refereeing. That is especially true in Arkansas.

While there is seemingly a divide within Razorback Nation when it comes to Bobby Petrino and Taylen Green, almost everyone can agree on their disdain for officials.

That stems from past wrongs, including a couple of occasions in which the SEC actually acknowledged its mistakes, and Saturday’s collapse against Mississippi State only stoked the flames of that rage.

Arkansas was flagged 18 times for a whopping 193 yards — breaking school records that had stood for 50 and 69 years, respectively — en route to blowing a 14-point lead over the final 10:16.
