I absolutely agree with you about the mental aspect, and yeah, that for sure defeated UF's mindset and lifted UGA. It sucks, but they're emotional games, for both players, and sadly, refs. I truly believe in ref bias. We saw it yesterday with Pavia pulling Filsaime down with him to make it look like he was being "roughed", but then the pylon bullshit and the no-call DPI that Moseley should have easily gotten truly, and I mean truly convinced me. Not to mention all of the holding that wasn't being called, and I literally saw their RT grab Burke and slam him on the ground on his stomach. Then, at the very minimum 5 times, Simmons was being clotheslined. All of the times our entire front were on the ground? Listen, I get football players are strong, but give me a fucking break. You aren't putting Brevard, Kanu, Shaw, January, Watson, Lavon Johnson, Sharma, Charles, Terry, Simmons, Burke, Jackson, and Vasek all on the ground. These mf'ers weigh over 300 lbs, and our edges weigh at the very minimum 240 (Simmons) and at most 285 (Justus Terry), or even Ant Hill who weighs 240, and Spence also weighs 240. I refuse to believe that shit.
It took me back to the Okie Lite game in what, 2015 where we had some absurd number of ridiculous, ticky tacky calls, and OSU had zero throughout the entire game until like late in the 4th? Or when Strong got tossed for "bumping into the ref", even though it was blatantly obvious the ref did it to cause a scene?
The game last night UF/UGA I saw some pretty ridiculous stuff called, but holy shit, nothing compared to the shit we got hosed on.
