Did the officials get it right? Controversial call goes Georgia's way, leads to Dawgs TD
Third down has been a nightmare for the Florida Gators.
Georgia is currently 8-of-10 on third down, and Florida can’t get off the field on the money down.
One call in particular caught the ire of Florida fans during the Bulldogs latest drive. On 3rd and 6, Jake Fromm threw a pass to receiver Lawrence Cager, who caught it falling to the ground. The officials called it a catch, but they reviewed it.
On the slow motion replay, it appears the ball touches the ground and actually aids Cager in catching the football. Instead, the officials confirmed the ruling on the field.

The reception led to a Georgia first down and eventually led to a touchdown. The score gave Georgia a 10-0 lead.
What a load of one-sided crap from this @SECOfficiating crew on the field and in the booth – this allowed to stand as a catch pic.twitter.com/ybHmQ5Vxqa

BS course correction from the league office after all the complaining after the USCe game. Florida can forget about getting any calls today.
Nah brah
Officiating has been on par all season.
Easily the worst call that I have ever seen in my life.
Blatantly obvious wrong call. Difference between UF and others is that if UGA wins we still won’t blame the refs for a L, UGA would.
Bad break for sure. But no call Nola is the worst “call” all time
Not a catch
Yeah Florida can’t blame the refs. The defense is getting torched and can’t keep Georgia out of the Red Zone. Gators only have 9 rushing yards in the 1st half. Need to make 2nd half adjustments on defense.
*Trey Dean is getting torched the rest of d is playing fine trey dean has given 5 3rd down conversions
8 rushes for 9 yards too. That’s not going to cut it. Florida’s play calling on short yard 3rd down have been atrocious. It’s too easy for Georgia.
I don’t remember seeing Dean much vs LSU, always harder from the stands to spot the issues, but Dean is costing y’all big. Why does he never at least bump the back coming out to the flat or for a wheel?
Haven’t seen a game this badly called in my life.. And can someone remove Georgia and alabama lover danielson? This guy is the worst ever..
He usually hates all over us or just raves about Bama during our games.
Oh you haven’t? Short memory? Those gator glasses you are wearing are showing what you want to see.
According to Gary, if you’re not a 5* you cant play football.. I’m switching to Mick..
Wow.. just wow. I feel bad for those guys man.
I don’t think SEC refs have a clue.
The SEC supposedly has the most money yet has the worst conference network and the worst refs. Money can’t buy everything I guess, but it doesn’t even look like the SEC is trying.
Weirdly bad calls? Yes, a couple. But did they cost us the game?
No.
Only very rarely do bad calls cause a team to lose. Things like not lining up correctly and not getting on and off the field when you’re supposed to certainly do though.
…false starts on 75 yard TD runs…Clear pick on TD pass, etc.
At least we won’t be whining about it for two weeks
Your fan base already is, there’s two articles about it full of tweets, I see you are still being delusional.
Im delusional? You’re still whining about the USC game. You still keep bringing it up. USCjr has never been nationally relevant ever. USCjr fans are the delusional ones.
Two weeks? 365 days!
It was a catch. A close one….but of course UF would disagree.
Just like the phantom holding call on Swift’s TD, and the phantom false start that took us out of FG range.
Refs straight gave UF 10 points in those 2 calls.
And yet the talking point is the refs screwed them…..when in fact refs gave UF points.
Considering y’all won by 7 and the zebras spotted y’all a TD. Enjoy the BS victory, just feel lucky Mullen decided to hire Georgia’s trash as a DC.
Lol. Gtfo of here. Do you actually believe that? I mean, your honestly kidding right? Or maybe your blind? Gary was slobbering all over the puppies all game and even he nearly fell out of his char after that blatant garbage call.
Guess bad officiating matters now that ur on the other side of it…
Lol gator tears are best served salty, they clearly were beaten by a better team, stats never lie.
Boy son, you need to wake up and get to class….add some SMARTZ to that head of yours! You thinking your Gamecocks are on the same level as FloriDUH will get you thrown in the looney bin SON. DO you realize what team you follow, who coaches it, and what they have accomplished compared to an SEC elite like my Bama squad….Florida is the only other team that sniffs Bamas butt when it comes to SEC titles and Ships, so you better waken up quick bud. You had your best years with the coach they call Spurrier…won some games, shoot won more than yall ever had and ever will again the way things look now. Your in the same league as Kentucky and Vanderbilt, other than Kentucky has a superb basketball squad and Vanderbilt, well….with your lack of Smartz you probably can’t spell it let alone imagine how great of an academic school it is. SO shush it “Bill’s a party drunk!”
The difference is one we can admit that we still had many chances to win the game and wont say stupid things like UGA was gifted the game or congrats on your tainted win. Also we wont whine for two or now 3 weeks about a game we lost to a few bad calls. This loss is on our coaches. Also no gator fan is crying we aren’t blaming anyone but our teams for this loss. By Bills assessment then UT is clealry a better team then USCjr, stats never lie. Which is pretty sad judging by how bad UT is this year
TN was better than SC just as SC was better than FL, stats don’t lie. Not much difference between every team in the East not named GA
Your right stats dont lie and the stats for the UF vs USCjr game is UF scored more points. Since stats dont lie it just goes to show UF is better than UScjr. There is a huge difference between UF and USCjr. One team is definately playing in a bowl game and has a solid team the other is trying to just have a 50/50 record
Funny you should agree, the stats show that SC owned fljr makes you wonder how they got the victory doesn’t it.
The stats show that UF had more passing yards and more points than USCjr. The only stat that matters at the end of every game is who has more points than the other guy. The fact that this is not completely obvious to you just shows how dumb you are. I do agree though stats dont lie like the most important stat. THE SCOREBOARD
@ben selective stat pulling, come on be honest who played a better game.
Matchup FL SC

Again FL received two TD’s on two obvious non calls, congrats on the gifted W but fact is SC played a better game than FL stats don’t lie
Florida wins in most of those statistical categories.
Lol ok tell yourself that
dude its right there. You posted it do you not know how to read the stats you posted? Name the stats that USCjr beat UF in? Now name the stats UF beat USCjr in. UF won in more categories then USCjr? its right there
Bill is quickly becoming the most delusional fan on SDS. I cannot believe he’s still crying about that game. Saddest thing of all is him taking the time to post the stats of the game when it actually doesn’t really help his argument. Florida’s are better in pretty much every category except rushing yards and total yards, which were actually only 33 yards higher, but that somehow translates into South Carolina dominating the game. By far one of the craziest most delusional things I’ve ever seen someone say on here. Florida had some pretty horrible calls that cost them in the UGA game, but they still had every opportunity to win it and didn’t. Just like USC had every opportunity to win that game despite the refs and still didn’t. The sooner you can admit that Bill, the less pathetic you’ll look, but obviously you’ll feel like that’s a good look, so carry on with the crying.
These comments are exactly what I expected when I came here.
