What the SEC has to say after a controversial moment in the Georgia vs. Texas game.
The SEC has offered an explanation for a critical moment when its officials changed their mind on a controversial defensive pass interference call in the Georgia vs. Texas game on Saturday.
“The game officials gathered to discuss the play, which is permitted to ensure the proper penalty is enforced, at which time the calling official reported that he erred, and a foul should not have been called for defensive pass interference,” the SEC said in a statement. Texas defensive back Jahdae Barron intercepted Georgia quarterback Carson Beck and returned the ball inside the 10, but officials called Barron with interference against wide receiver Arian Smith, briefly negating the game-changing turnover.However, video replay showed that Barron did not interfere with Smith and the call was met with strong protest by Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian and Texas fans, who started throwing items onto the field.
The conference added that it will review the debris-throwing incident and will consider a possible punishment under the SEC sportsmanship policy.
