I have a different take

Lock did not flop. He got pushed while being off balance. If you say that wasn’t much of a push, I agree. But he didn’t fall on his own, and the player pushing him did so knowing he was out of the play. The defender wanted to knock him down, and did.

Fromm getting hit was a play where Fromm was trying to fake keeping the ball to draw defenders away from the play. The ref saw it as such and let the defender hit him. I don’t think the defender could see the handoff, so he kept going on the play, and Fromm was faking as though he had the ball. That’s a play where you have no idea how a ref is going to call it.

Both are very different plays.

The push on the Missouri O lineman was a stupid thing to call.

The personal foul where the defender ripped the Missouri O lineman’s helmet off amazed me. I will never agree that a 5 yard penalty and a 15 yard personal foul should ever offset each other. Stupid.

The FG was good.

The receiver did drop the ball before crossing the line.

The fumble return should have been blown dead.

Georgia got the big edge on the calls.

I think Georgia is a great team. I think Missouri should be able to build on this game as well. Great game.
