‘We Can’t Put the Game in That Situation,’ ‘Clear PI Gets a No Call’ — Kalen DeBoer Won’t Fault Officials After KJ Bolden No-Call in Loss to Georgia

Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer chose not to blame the officiating crew following a controversial no-call on a deep pass late in his team's 20-17 defeat against Georgia. Trailing by three points with less than four minutes remaining, quarterback Keelon Russell targeted Rico Scott in the end zone, where defender KJ Bolden made contact that observers felt warranted a pass interference penalty.

On the very next play, Bolden pressured Russell for a crucial sack that forced a punt and ended the Crimson Tide's final scoring threat.

DeBoer emphasized that his squad needed to manage the circumstances better instead of relying on the referees, though supporters in the crowd of over one hundred thousand attendees at Bryant-Denny Stadium voiced strong displeasure. The matchup also featured a first-half interception by Bray Hubbard off a pass from Gunner Stockton, which set up a temporary halftime advantage before the Bulldogs ultimately secured the three-point victory.
