  "account": "Paul Finebaum criticized SEC officiating following Georgia's 20-17 victory over Alabama, expressing strong dissatisfaction with a missed pass interference call late in the fourth quarter. Finebaum, speaking to Matt Barrie, deemed the call \"absolutely terrible\" and urged the SEC to provide an explanation the following morning. After 3:28 left on the clock, Alabama's Keelon Russell completed a pass to Rico Scott down the sideline, triggering a Georgia pass break up call credited to KJ Bolden. However, Kalen DeBoer, Alabama's head coach, vehemently argued pass interference. Finebaum firmly believed this decision would have altered the game's outcome, stating, \"It was a terrible call where you're the best conference in college football. Don't screw around with one of the biggest plays in the biggest game of the year.\" The only positive from the game for the Crimson Tide, per Finebaum, was head coach Kalen DeBoer, whose enthusiastic reactions to the calls boosted team morale.",
