Ken Williamson's name will now forever be in the lore of the Deep South's Oldest Rivalry.

On Wednesday, reports that the SEC official had been suspended permanently following a review of his calls in the Georgia-Auburn game on Oct. 11 began circulating, with Terry McAulay, a longtime official himself, confirming the report.

Williamson's role in the outcome of the matchup can't be overestimated, as Auburn seemingly took a 17-0 lead right before the half as Jackson Arnold took a quarterback sneak into the endzone for a touchdown. On review, it was ruled that despite evidence that Arnold had lost control of the ball before crossing the goal line, the ball was given to the Bulldogs.
