Dancing kickers, dancing fans and rumbling defensive linemen with interceptions were some of the highlights this week. There was also the unusual targeting call by a player on offense, that held up under review.
Here’s a look at the SEC’s questionable calls, bloopers and ejections from Week 12.
Questionable calls
Tennessee fans were upset with a non-call on Missouri’s Marcell Frazier on his take down of John Kelly.
They weren’t the only ones. Both announcers thought the hit was egregious enough to warrant an ejection.

Marcell Frazier you should be ashamed. Should have been ejected IMMEDIATELY.

Off-setting penalties in #MissourivsTennessee game may be worst officiating I've ever! #MarcellFrazier should have been ejected.

@SEC Please be ready to explain why Frazier was not ejected. Targeting is targeting. #UTvsMizzoo #protecttheplayers #concussion #football

Afterward, Frazier responded.

Georgia fans had temporary heartburn when it appeared a fumble was returned for a touchdown by Louisiana-Lafayette.
Call on the field is a Sony Michel fumble and a return for a touchdown by ULL.

Then a sigh of relief.
After review, the call is overturned. Sony's elbow was down and UGA keeps possession.

A photographer took the worst of an incomplete pass in the end zone in Knoxville.
Our photographer John is ok and the camera still functions (kind of). But John got more than he bargained for on this #Mizzou incompletion. pic.twitter.com/ykSeEHW3ou
