Officials are catching slack on social media. What else is new?
Tennessee-Florida has been the best game of the early Week 4 slate, but it isn’t without its fault. Anthony Richardson scored his third touchdown of the day and was in by a mile, but officials paused play to take another look.
It took some time, but eventually Richardson’s score was recognized after review. Then, on the other side of the field, the officials failed to call another goal-line score when Jabari Small rushed through the line for what seemed like 6. The Vols scored the Next .play after the call was upheld.
As of now, Tennessee leads, 31-21 with just under 5 minutes remaining in the third quarter. Fans let the refs know of their disappointment on social media.
The police are on the way to arrest your refs @SEC

Lol, how did the SEC refs miss that as a TD on the field? The ball was 4 feet over the line.

I mean, were they just letting the replay make the call? That was bizarre. No ref wanted to signal TD.

Laziest officiating ever in Florida Tennessee game by not calling that Anthony Richardson touchdown right away. These guys are way too reliant on replay. Scared to do their jobs

Everything the officials have done in the past five minutes of this game is an embarrassment.
