Officials for Florida-South Carolina game getting roasted by fans on Twitter
The Florida Gators and South Carolina Gamecocks are playing a sloppy game (kickers aside) in rainy conditions in Columbia.
That sloppiness has carried over to the officiating crew, too. Fans aren’t happy with the way the game is being called, either.
Here’s a look at a couple of plays that Florida fans felt went against them (and it’s tough to argue the second video):

The new @SECOfficiating Twitter account is getting ripped, too. Below, you can see some of the reactions to missed calls thus far:
@SECOfficiating if you guys don’t hire some refs that have even the slightest clue of how football is played I swear I’m gonna lose my shit

@SECOfficiating what if I told you defensive holding is a penalty where the catchability of the ball is irrelevant? #UFvsSC pic.twitter.com/zLLWIQri87

The game is now tied 10-10, so we’ll see how the officiating affects the game in the second quarter and beyond.
