After brief explanation on Alabama-USC play, SEC Officiating's Twitter handle hammered by fans
When the SEC announced the official SEC Officiating Twitter account this offseason, people could not help but joke that the replies were going to be wild when the account addressed questionable calls and plays. That was the case when the account chimed on a play in question during Saturday’s Alabama at South Carolina game.
A tweet explaining why a South Carolina red zone run wasn’t reviewed for a possible touchdown has received a whopping 610 replies. Some replies are about the play in the question while others are just to complain about SEC officiating in general and accusing the refs of being biased. Here’s a small sample of what fans are tweeting to the SEC Officiating account:

The one you need to worry about isn't that one, it's the Barmore ejection for targeting. It met none of the definitions. Barmore came in with his hands up trying to deflect the pass if he couldn't get to the QB. If DL can't do that, we have a problem for all teams and their DLs.

Everyone is whining about that call even though he was down yet no one says a word about the Bama TD called out of bounds.

Reverse the teams and Bama gets a review! This is horrible

There’s no way that’s targeting on corker. Fix ur employees

What about the terrible holding call?

So they reviewed this play? His foot is in and Tua was robbed of his sixth TD pass pic.twitter.com/y8C0P0zYgs

Knee was down. How many times does it kneed to be discussed? #deadhorse #shutupNessler #shutitDanielson pic.twitter.com/lSEAJbIxUQ

I must agree with this call, the knee was down before going airborne but the sheer amount of unbelievable penalties missed on Bama along with the ticky tack penalties called on SCAR continue to show the Bama privilege

People are seriously salty that the game wasn't stopped to confirm a play that was clearly going to be confirmed. South Carolina didn't get a free timeout and somehow that's bad officiating. This is beyond parody

Keep bama at the top… I mean that’s your goal right?

Me at all the SC fans crying over a missed hold when Alabama had 11 penalties called on them for 92 yards. pic.twitter.com/46OuXqlYuE

Lol I'm watching in slo-mo and I can't tell! Come on.
Course the difference is I'm not biased.

Change your Twitter tag to BamaOfficiating

You can try to make excuses for your incompetent referees but everyone knows it should have been reviewed. Sad thing is it was just one of many bad calls and there was clear and concerted Alabama bias all game long. Shame on you.

I don’t normally cuss of twitter but that’s bullshit
