The Auburn Tigers are hosting Kirby Smart’s Georgia Bulldogs today, and currently, Auburn is leading 10-3 at halftime. However, this isn’t the full picture, and if not for a controversial officiating call, the Tigers would have had 7 extra points. Tempers have flared now at the Jordan-Hare Stadium, and calls are mounting against the officials after the decision.

On 3rd and goal, Auburn was just inches away from Georgia’s end zone with 1:39 left before halftime. The snap was called, and Auburn stacked the box in a rushing pile to gain those few inches against the defense’s blitz. For a moment, it looked like Auburn finally got their 6 points and were about to line up for the field goal. Except, a UGA player ran the ball back to Auburn’s endzone, creating an ensuing chaos for everyone involved. A fumble ruling was made on the field, then, and was reviewed quickly.

After further review by the officials, including the in-game referee, the fumble call was upheld. But people are now touting excerpts from the review footage that allegedly show that Auburn crossed the endzone. “SEC officials just made the most egregious replay call in history in this Auburn-Georgia game,” wrote FOX Sports’ RJ Young on his X account.
