The SEC officiating crew missed what appeared to be a blatant targeting call in the Florida vs. Florida State rivalry game Friday night.

The play in question happened in the first quarter. Florida wide receiver Ricky Pearsall took the pitch from quarterback Anthony Richardson, and FSU defensive back Renardo Green hit Pearsall in a helmet-to-helmet shot when making the tackle.

Below is the replay.

The play wasn’t even flagged or reviewed by officials, but had it been, Green would have likely been ejected for the remainder of the game.

Florida and Florida State are tied at 14-14 with just over 13 minutes left in the second quarter.
