‘SEC Officials Are Jobbing Alabama,’ ‘Are These Refs Paid by Georgia?’ — Fans Push Back on Refs After Replay Erases QB Reese’s Pick vs. Georgia

Alabama linebacker QB Reese appeared to intercept Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton with the score level at 17-17, but a video review overturned the call, allowing the Bulldogs to retain possession on second down. The decision sparked immediate backlash from fans who argued the footage clearly showed the ball bouncing off Reese's arm without touching the ground, while others maintained the pass was simply incomplete.

This was Stockton's second potential turnover of the evening, following an earlier pick-six by Alabama's Bray Hubbard in the second quarter that the Crimson Tide failed to convert into points. The game had been tightly contested, with Alabama leading 14-10 at halftime on a one-yard run by EJ Crowell, before Stockton scored on a 14-yard dash to give Georgia the edge prior to the tying field goal.

Tensions over officiating escalated as Georgia accumulated seven penalties for 57 yards compared to Alabama's three for 30, including a holding call that nullified a 17-yard touchdown run by Dwight Phillips Jr. on the opening drive.
