offensive

No-Call on obvious Offensive Pass Interference which prevented Arkansas from intercepting the ball Interference and kept Florida in FG range.  Had the penalty been called it would have given Florida 3rd and 20 from the 50 yard line.[4th Q | 1:07]

The play was also followed by the Florida Mystery Yard which allowed the gators to run the clock out.

Amazing…

Anybody Watching this Miss.State/Florida game. Bullshit! They (fla) are apparrently the chosen ones.Why? At this pace Alabama will take the field 20 points down. Somebody is getting paid, Bigtime. SEC? REFS? Im tired of TBO. He isnt Great. Ill give him a Good.(Little better than Matt Jones).

Hey Darryl, Don't get your panties in a wad. Arkansas is crying foul and still could have won the game. I have tried and tried to be partial and honest with what has happened and guys like you just want to blame someone else for your teams loss. If you can not handle that, then no problem. You are just another crybaby fan and it does not matter what anyone says, it will always be someone else's fault. The funny thing is, there will be a call that is just as bad, and it will benefit your team. You will just tell the other teams fans to shut up and get over it. So maybe...

Bad calls or not. Arkansas played great. Nobody but Arkansas fans believed that the Hogs could hang close anyway. With the way last season went, Arkansas is a much improved team and they deserve a pat on the back. Now as for the game. There were some bad calls on both sides, but Florida knows that they got away with one and are glad to have it, but it still did not help their case for number one any. Is Florida the number one team in the nation? I don't think so. I think Bama is the better team. Congrats to the Hogs for a game well played. You proved your doubters wrong, and Arkansas is headed in the direction it needs to be.

I think it's funny that this person keeps talking about this "mystery yard"

If you know anything about football, you know that the yellow line is seldom right. Seriously, I'll give you the PF on #96 (that was BS, even Gilbert said it was BS and that #96 didn't say a word) and I'll give you Cooper's over the back, but it was really close and a judgment call that would easily be a no whistle in a lot of games.

But..

The PI on Deonte (#6) in the endzone was legit PI and this "mystery yard" you speak of is just idiocy coming from a bunch of no brain Arky fans who can't get over their caveman tendencies to notice that, hey, that yeller line there ain't always right... lmao

Arky lost the game by themselves. They allowed Tebow to drive down the field at the end to set up a FG. YOUR kicker missed a FG that I could have kicked. YOUR defense allowed Jeff Demps to get around the corner on them.

Don't go making excuses for your team.

The most telling point is, both of the calls that you guys are up in arms about were on FIRST DOWN AND SECOND DOWN.

Get over it, Arky choked.

If you go back and watch the film tebow's knee went down on the twenty yard lind yet the ball was spotted on about the twenty one or two thats what makes it the mystery yard not to say that thats the call that mattered anyway the calls that mattered were the PI call and the UC call the first one would have pratically put tebow in his own endzone and would have changed the play calling of the OC the second automatically gave them a field goal if they were stoped but they wern't that's what hurts. But like it or not the refs still changed the out come of the game.

Arky choked? By losing a game their opponent was supposed to take by more than 20 points and bringing it down to a 3 point nail-biter we "choked?" I have a feeling you "choke" on something else quite frequently.

Arkansas was blatantly holding on nearly every big play they had and got away with about 3 seconds worth of a delay of game. The calls went both ways. The PIs were legit. The PF wasn't and the ref apologized. The crew got suspended, which is unprecedented.

Keep telling yourself that. Good luck vs Bama.

LMAO... you're stupidness makes me laugh! There was face masking all over that field from Florida. That's okay, karma is a bitch! So glad BAMA is number 1. Hope they rip Gators a new hole!

HaHa Andrew personal foul was bogus. Ref must of went to Florida and was mad lineman just got put on his rear. Especially after he was the one who went after defensive end. Pass interference was lame. It was either offensive or a no call. The non call before all that was really the worst call (pass interference in endzone). Even with all that Arkansas still should have won and it should have been by 2 touchdowns if Childs didnt drop three passes and Mallet didn't miss two open in endzone.

Bryan yeah whatever!!

I am amazed at the big "conspiracy" to protect the Gators. Why aren't any of you complaining about the Arkansas player trying to trip the Gator running back and luckily kicking the ball. Even the announcers said he tried to trip him. That should have been, worst case scenario, Florida's ball nearing the red zone and a field goal attempt. That is not a "what if". That was a bad "no call". The personal foul on Arkansas was a bad call. The Gators still would have had the ball and were still driving. Once the Gators scored on that drive, Arkansas still had SEVEN MINUTES AND FORTYSEVEN SECONDS to go in the game. If your offense was doing so well, why didn't they drive right down the field and score. You had the chance to overcome the bad calls and could not. I am trying to see this through both teams eyes. Florida did not cheat and quit blaming the Gators. Are the refereees protecting Alabama too? They are undefeated for the second season in a row. The biggest thing that should happen and soon after this season is have referees by region not conference. That way they will be doing ACC one week, SEC the next and then maybe even the Sun Belt. Let me finish by asking this, has Arkansas ever been the beneficiary of a bad call? I do believe they have. So come on, the game is over and Arkansas can still have a very good year. Enjoy the remainder of the year. Go SEC!

The SEC reviewed those officials alright. They reviewed them, gave them a pat on the back for a job well done, then sent them on their way to Tuscaloosa to protect their marquee SECCG. Sorry Rocky Top. Might as well stay home.

it doesnt matter how many missed oppurtunities the hogs had, if the officiating had been right they wouldnt have needed more points.

The Arkansas defense contributed to those fumbles, gomers. The Hogs fought hard for a win and were cheated out of it. Pure & simple.

The UF fumbles were the only reason the game was close. The score at the half would have been probably 24-10 if not for the fumbles.
I do agree that the officiating was bad, Arkansas snapped the ball least twice during the game after the play clock had expired and the plays stood. My point is the officiating was just bad not one sided.
Arkansas played almost good enough to win, they just didn't make a couple of plays at the end of the game, so they get the "L"

yeah, and if we had caught that touchdown pass dropped or had been accurate on two other passes........come on, now. If frog had wings.... Our D had much to do with the fumbles. period. The refs had no business protecting one team and you know it.

You got hosed. Happens every week. SEC officials need therapy. They have severe case of cognitive dissonance, a psychological phenomenon which refers to the discomfort felt at a discrepancy between what you already know or believe (Florida is #1/they will certainly beat Arkansas), and new information (unranked Arkansas is about to beat #1 Florida.) We humans like to be in harmony with ourselves so we typically rationalize our way out of any dissonance. But in the case of SEC referees, why just rationzlie when you can throw yellow flags like confetti on one team but not the other, until what you expected to happen, does.

I think all sec fans need to let the SEC know how they feel about all these calls.

for the extension, dial sli for slive. That's 754. They're closed tonight, but tomorrow I'm gonna give them bass turds hell.

As bad as the officials were, and they were B.A.D., the fact that the Gators gave up 3 fumbles in the Red zone and STILL stayed in the game is amazing. This game should have been over at the half. Had AR not been +4 on the turnovers, I'd spot you the refs and hang them myself. Florida handed the game to Arkansas and they just didn't cash it in.

In a couple of the clips, it almost appears that the refs let the Gators talk them into making the calls. Highly questionable. Granted, those were some truly bad calls, but you've gotta look at all the missed scoring opportunities the Hogs had. It took a combination of both the Razorback offensive sputters and the refs for Florida to come out on top. Looking at things logically, by playing Number One to the wire, Arkansas should not lose another game the rest of the season.

The SEC needs to do something about these guys. That was just an absolutely horrible game on the refs part. But I must say Arkansas played fantastic for the most part and probably should have won that game! Go Hogs!

Rogers Redding won't do anything about it. He learned how to screw Arkansas from when he was in the old SWC. This is nothing but a major hose job endorsed by the SEC and CBS (The Tim Tebow Network). They should allow the Players to determine the outcome of the game and not these crooked officiating crews. The SEC needs major overhauling every bit as much as the NCAA.

The SEC nor the NCAA will investigate these or any other officials. Why? Because there are a few schools that it pays to have as the number 1 team and Florida is one of them. If Florida loses to Arkansas, then they lose money and it shakes up the rankings. Additionally if the rankings get shook up enough, Florida might not be in the national title game and then more calls for a playoff will be heard and the powers that be will sacrifice one of their children before they develope and implement a playoff. The NCAA needs to be overhauled from the top to bottom.

I watched the end of the game and it made me sick. I'm a Georgia fan and watched us get hosed by this same crew. The calls against Arkansas call into question the integrity of league officials. It appears to me they were protecting Florida. It won't change the outcome of the game but y'all ought to call the league office and complain loudly.

The SEC Office needs to review these officials. They Cost Arkansas the game with Florida.

They sucked ass, they blew the game and the know it. If they knew how to pull their head out, the might just call a game that was fair.

i wonder what other games involving top 10 teams vs. ones lower on the pecking order they get
