Florida fans livid with officiating at halftime of Vanderbilt game
The Florida Gators are beating Vanderbilt 14-0 at halftime, but fans are livid at the officiating.
Two different plays made Florida fans upset.
First, quarterback Kyle Trask threw a completion to receiver Jacob Copeland. It was called a catch in real-time, but upon the review, the officials called it incomplete because the ball hit the ground. It was basically the same exact play that Georgia’s Lawrence Cager had last week against Florida, and the officials called it a reception. Below is the replay.
This is probably not a catch for anyone. But it was a catch for Georgia last week, not one for Florida this week. #Gators pic.twitter.com/K33gxv4KV5

The second play came when Trask threw his second interception of the game. Receiver Van Jefferson was clearly interfered with, and yet, the officials didn’t call it in the end zone. Turnover for the Gators.
Nearly every single SEC team has been furious with the officiating this year, and Dan Mullen couldn’t have been happy in the first half.
Florida fans are furious at halftime:
@SECOfficiating think y’all need to fire everyone and start over.
