I don’t know the rule that well but he led with the crown, no doubt about it. They reviewed the play for the fumble and never mentioned targeting.
Just before UGA’s first TD the RB got the ball stripped by a defender at the 2. They ruled him down which was key. They then couldn’t find a good camera view that showed when the ball came loose. But the frame after the RB’s ass hit the ground, the DB has the ball securely stowed between his palm and elbow, so the ball had to be loose more than a frame before that.
Before UGA’s second TD, Tech stopped them in 4th and goal from about the 5. Then the ref threw a flag and called PI. The pass was tipped so it should have been waived but wasn’t and wasn’t reviewed to see if it was tipped. Those plays were huge as well as the fumble by King.
You have to give it to Kirby, his kids keep fighting. He annoyed the masses calling a timeout every overtime when Tech lined up, so he could set his defense, but it worked for him.
