Mark Richt said Sunday evening during his weekly teleconference that the Bulldogs had sent video of two controversial penalties to the SEC office in Birmingham, Ala. seeking clarification on the calls.

A 54-yard Todd Gurley touchdown run in the first half was called back due to a holding call on Brandon Kublanow, and an intentional grounding call on Hutson Mason on a play-action pass on first-and-goal from the 4-yard line cost Georgia 10 yards, the down and ultimately led to a missed 28-yard field goal by Marshall Morgan.

Richt discussed the penalties on Sunday evening.

“On that particular play, we thought Kublanow was in the framework of the defender,” Richt said according to the Athens Banner-Herald. “We thought it was legal. What happened was, I don’t remember if it was one of his teammates or one of our guys, but somebody actually kind of clipped the back of the defender’s leg as they were running through there.”

Richt said the coaches looked at the play on which the intentional grounding was called on film and that “it definitely hit the defender.”

In his weekly news conference on Tuesday, Richt said Georgia had received answers from the SEC’s coordinator of officials Steve Shaw.

According to Chip Towers of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the league office said the grounding call was correct.

Said Richt: “I don’t know how much detail I’m supposed to give on these kinds of things. I will say on the grounding call, they say … if the ball has a reasonable chance of being caught, whether or whether not a defender deflects it or not, it would be grounding. But they think the ball, as it was being delivered, had no chance of being caught.”

Sources with knowledge of the communications between the parties say that no flag should’ve been thrown on the play, according to Towers.

Richt declined to comment on the other calls.

“The rest of them, I’m not going to get into.”
