Bad day to be an official: Replacement referee run over during wild play during Georgia-Tennessee game
The original referee from the Tennessee-Georgia missed the second half of the game after suffering a reported calf strain, as detailed by the ESPN broadcast team, and his replacement didn’t fare much better after being trucked during a wild play in the contest.
If you missed it, linebacker Tae Crowder registered a touchdown on a scoop and score during the fourth quarter of the game and during the play, the replacement ref got trucked during the action of the play.
You can see him below, in the white cap.
Like we said, rough day to be a referee inside Neyland Stadium.

Ha! Ouch!
It obviously doesn’t change the outcome, but the replacement head ref did a great job of being the 12th man for Georgia. Apart from that, Tim Jordan makes a tackle and saves the TD.
SEC officiating at its best.
I’ll agree with you on this one, but I have to admit, I started singing “Move B****, get out the way!” as soon as it happened.
Video replay shows it was a clean hit! LOL!
Maurer is prob out next week bc of that hit.
