The officiating during Georgia’s national title game vs Alabama has haunted UGA fans for two years now.
There were a number of missed calls by the Big Ten officiating crew that night in Atlanta, but none bigger than when Georgia wide receiver Tyler Simmons was called offside prior to blocking Alabama’s punt deep in Bama territory.
Georgia was leading 13-0 in the third quarter and it was the Dawgs’ game to lose. That blocked punt might have been enough to put that game away, but instead, even though video replay clearly shows Simmons was onside, the Bulldogs were flagged.
