Pulling a RB across the goal line - Georgia game
That play where Georgia PULLED their RB across the goal line doesn't get enough discussion.
That was 4th down.
Isnt that a 10 yard penalty and loss of down?
It would have been our ball...and we only lost by 10.

Hate to say it but someone needs to bring that up to the Refs. And that person is Lebby~~ Also the Lineman was downfield illegally. The announcers btought up both things during the replay.

The refs need to do their job correctly.
No excuse.
They missed several calls just because they expected UGA to be better: but that was a gigantic one.

There was so much wrong with that play. From the pulling to the penalty, that screamed Georgia's check cleared just in time.
"False start everybody but the center" referee summarizing Arnett's season performance as a head coach.

Very good point, that should not have been a TD. This game was a lot closer than UGA and SEC office wanted it to be. The Bulldog D stood tall on that goal line stand; that one stand gave me hope for this D. UGA is the new Bama of the SEC and Kirby is the new Saban. Don't touch them or threaten them, SEC office will not allow it.

I am generally not a conspiracy theorist. But since I am getting old I have been jaded by all the years bull crud that the SEC office, commissioner and officials have done to MSU. Have to remember that without MSU schools like Bama, Georgia, LSU and both Texas would have to take the losses that we would take. Without MSU winning it keeps the have’s from beating each other and having losing records thus not popular across the country and bad for tv ratings and thus not making money for tv networks due lower viewers.

pulling or pushing a player is legal since 2013

Refs in CFB and the NFL let the play go on too long when a ball carrier's motion is stopped. If the scrum is pushed backward, they mark his spot at the farthest forward, if the scrum pushes forward just let it continue.

I need verification on the rule. Google says no but they lie a lot:
AI Overview
No, it is not legal for a player to pull another player over the goal line in college football:
