The ex-referee offering the opinion is a UGA grad who is a personal-injury lawyer in Mobile...and he's the guy who blew the Patrick Peterson interception call in 2009.

quote:

What is the most memorable game you have refereed?

I did the Alabama versus LSU game in Tuscaloosa in 2009. It was an intense game between two top teams. I was involved in a controversial play when an LSU defensive back appeared to intercept a pass, but I ruled him out-of-bounds. The official who was supposed to make the call was blocked by an LSU defender, so I had to do it from about 25 yards downfield. The rulebook says, when in doubt, it’s an incomplete pass, and I had plenty of doubt. (Editor’s Note: Replay officials upheld his call.)

yes,and the replay was upheld by none other than Dick Burleson, whose website at the time stated about his speaking engagements and close ties with the University of Alabama --- which was deleted the Monday after that game.

Burleson ,of course, was the bastard in '89 that decided to give Florida one more second.
