Nick Saban lights up official after penalty call
The Alabama-Georgia game is living up to the hype Saturday night, and it should be a thrilling showdown.
With Alabama losing 14-7 and driving down the field, quarterback Mac Jones was called for intentional grounding on a play that Georgia’s defense got after the signal caller. Jones was pushed backwards by the pass rush, and Jones tried to throw it away.
An Alabama wide receiver was in the area, but Jones was flagged for the penalty of intentional grounding.
Well, that didn’t sit right with Nick Saban, and he lit up the official following the penalty. The headset went flying, and the mask didn’t last too long either.

Safe to say Saban is feeling alright.
I mean… it was the right call.
They made up.
Not sure why he was as mad as he was, it was the right call I thought..
He knew that. Angling for the next one.
I thought it was a BS call! Sure he threw it away, but it did cross the LOS and there was an ELIGIBLE receiver “near” the path of the ball! I guess God knew what he was doing when he didn’t make me AND Nick Saban 6-2 and 245#!
