Georgia misses out on safety over bizarre replay decision

The Georgia Bulldogs were left fuming Saturday after missing out on a safety in their huge game against the Tennessee Volunteers.

The Bulldogs appeared to grab two points after Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker fumbled in the end zone. The fumble was picked up by offensive lineman Javontez Spraggins, who tried to advance the ball out of the end zone before being brought down. The officials ruled on the field he had done so and spotted the ball at the half-yard line.

The call on the field was defensible, but the lengthy replay review certainly made it look like Spraggins was down before the ball could cross the goal line.
