Forget the fumble, Auburn fans point out Georgia lined up offside for disputed TD

Auburn has now lost nine games in a row to the Georgia Bulldogs, but it feels like this one could have just as easily gone the other way had the officials actually called the game correctly. Many missed calls, not giving Georgia a penalty when Kirby Smart was trying to call a timeout when he didn't have any, and other things led to the Tigers' loss to the Bulldogs on Saturday.

The biggest call that seemed to be missed was when Georgia lined up offside on a pivotal moment of the game when Auburn was trying to score. On this play, it is clear as day on a review and a snapshot of the line of scrimmage that half of the Georgia defensive line is offside when they line up.

The reason this missed call is so pivotal is that this play resulted in a fumble that Georgia recovered. Auburn quarterback Jackson Arnold was trying to get the ball to cross the plain over the top, and it was knocked out by a Georgia defender.

The player resulted in the Bulldogs getting the ball and marching down the field for a field goal to end the half to make it a 10-3 game with the Tigers still in the lead. That fumble, however, gave Georgia all the momentum and juice they needed for the rest of the game.

Auburn fans are outraged over missed offsides call against Georgia in pivotal moment

This play has been talked about as the turning point for Georgia in the game. Sure, it is easy to cause a fumble when half of the offensive line is lined up offside.

Notice how the word fumble is in quotes there because Tigers should have gotten to replay the down.

You practically can't see the ball because the Georgia defenders are right on top of it because they are lined up offside.

This game was so infuriating for many Auburn fans, but to see that it was practically given to Georgia because of the refs just makes it that much more frustrating.
