5:15 | 3rd qtr. Number 48 of Alabama got flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct on a punt play. He took a swipe at an opponent, that could have easily been ruled a punch and ejection. But, the butt-chewing he got from the Alabama staff is worse than any punishment the officials can dole out.

6:52 | 3rd qtr. During Georgia’s long touchdown, they were flagged for a sideline interference. It was tough to see even on replays, but there were coaches along the sideline who came into the white restricted area and impeded the head linesman. This is a safety issue as well as a point of emphasis for officials, and contact with an official in the restricted area is automatically a 15-yard foul. It is also a non-player foul, so it is always enforced as a dead ball foul even though the foul occurred during live ball action. Therefore, the foul is assessed from the succeeding spot which in this case was the following kick off.

6:21 | 3rd qtr. Very soon after the sideline interference, Georgia is flagged for a sideline warning. This is the garden variety sideline warning – players and/or coaches on the bench are in the restricted area (or “the white”). This is the first sideline warning for being in the restricted area, and carries no penalty yardage. For a second and third violation, it is upgraded to a 5-yard “delay of game” for sideline interference. A fourth sideline infraction would be upgraded to a 15-yard penalty. This step-up is different than an immediate 15-yard foul for contact with an official as mentioned at the 6:52 mark

There may be a quibble here or there with a call or no-call, but the officials did a great job in tonight’s game. Capron and crew were in charge all night, called the big stuff, and cracked down on unsportsmanlike acts.
The game was an instant classic and the eight-man crew, plus replay staff should be proud of their efforts.

I Thought the crew was great and SJ John Hayes really stood out making some gutsy calls.

HL Michael Dolce who called this is one of the most strict out there. I have also seen him flag coaches for being out of the box and coming onto the field to argue. He does not put up with nonsense which probably gets on coaches nerves at times but it also makes him one of the best Officials the Big Ten has ever seen. Just look at his Bowl Game resume.

I thought the offsides call against UGA early in the third quarter on the play in which they blocked the punt was especially egregious. I mean, how do you call something that DID NOT HAPPEN? Yes - the defender started to move prior to the snap. But he didn't really even come close to crossing the neutral zone until after the snap started. A really, really important call. UGA would have had the ball around Bama's 20 yard line. Of course no one can be sure what would have happened had it not been called. But that call likely cost UGA at least 3 points and maybe even 7.
And the uncalled face mask penalty against Bama just a few plays later. Really bad. 8 officials on the field and no one has responsibility for the runner? I don't know how you miss that.

Get over it LOL. There is nothing to "get over". I don't have a dog in the fight either way. Didn't care one iota who won - and still don't. I thought perhaps my post could stimulate some discussion about the calls. Man - if you wear the stripes I hope your skin is a little thicker when you have them on.

Agree with you on the facemask, that one was clear and should have been called. R Capron or U Feaster probably had the best look. I'm also with you on the offsides but for a different reason. I do thin the UGA player was offsides but only moved after Alabama false started so the play still would have been shut down but it would have been a Bama penalty instead of UGA.

Get over it I AM DISGUSTED AT THIS POST BY AN ADMIN. These were two calls that were missed and correctly pointed out. Nothing to get over. This individual admin who has been unclear in his posts (SB Crew prediction or the actual crew) needs to have better virtual community etiquette.

I apologize to anyone who thought my comments were out of line. I meant no disrespect to anyone. Let me start over and introduce myself (sorta, LOL)
I officiated at the high school level for about 25 years. I gave it up when work and family commitments simply didn't leave me adequate time to officiate. Before I retired I was invited to work on the chain crew for a nearby P5 (ACC) school. I still work on that chain crew and have been now for about 20 years. Because of that, some of the names I see in the college forum are guys that I know and have worked with over the years.
I have no axes to grind with anyone here. Maybe, perhaps, I might know some of you personally but the anonymity of the boards is such that no one can be sure.
Thanks for letting me contribute in a small way. Once again I apologize to anyone that didn't appreciate my tone or my words.
