The officials miss the call to interfere with the free pass, leaving Kalen DeBoer fuming

Kalen DeBoer don’t have to get too upset Alabama dominant Georgia in Tuscaloosa with a score of 30-7. However, the lead could have been much larger had it not been for a bad pass interference call late in the second quarter. DeBoer wasn’t too happy on the sideline, pleading with the officials to raise the flag.

Georgia’s defender Daniel Harris was a little too soon afterwards Jalen Milroe threw Germie Bernard on a third-down pass. Getting the call would have given Alabama a first down and the opportunity to score another touchdown or, in a worst-case scenario, score a field goal before halftime.

DeBoer was hot and ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit understood why. It’s not too often that we see DeBoer like this, he’s usually a little quieter on the sidelines. Herbstreit was pleased with the Alabama head coach’s intensity even though he was ahead by 23 points.

“Here we go, Alabama fans,” Herbstreit said. “He is so gentle with the media and when you see him speak. You can feel that competitive spirit there. He’s on fire… Whenever you see Kalen DeBoer animated like that, it’s usually for a good reason. He won’t do this just for the sake of doing this. He will do that if he feels he has the right to be upset.”

You can see the full emotion of DeBoer and the Alabama sideline here.

As the clock hit zero in the first half, a scuffle broke out between the two teams on the sidelines. Alabama was called for an unsportsmanlike penalty involving offensive lineman Miles McVay be the culprit. Now a 15-yard penalty awaits the Crimson Tide on the other side.

DeBoer might be one of the most dissatisfied head coaches entering halftime with a three-point lead. A bad penalty from his own team and a missed call from the referees are more than enough to get the job done.
