Kirby Smart and No. 10 Georgia escaped Auburn with a 20-10 win on Saturday after some very questionable calls went their way against their unranked rivals. Tigers coach Hugh Freeze was irate as the first half ended after officials took a touchdown off the board on a very close call at the goal line, and then in the fourth quarter, the Bulldogs coach got away with something we may have never seen before.
Clinging to a three-point lead early in the fourth quarter, Georgia was facing third-and-9 with the play clock winding down. With quarterback Gunner Stockton screaming for the ball, Smart ran down the sideline signaling for a timeout to save Georgia from a delay of game penalty. Officials granted the timeout, but then Smart immediately started to argue that he didn't want a timeout and was just clapping.
