"Moral of the story if you don’t like a referees call throw bottles": Fans draw hilarious conclusions after controversial Texas interception

Things got wild in Austin as the Texas Longhorns faced off against the Georgia Bulldogs on Saturday. During the third quarter, a Texas interception sparked chaos among the fans. It seemed Carson Beck had thrown his third pick of the game when Jahdae Barron returned the interception to Georgia's nine-yard line. But hold on — there was a flag on the field for defensive pass interference against Barron.

Frustrated, Texas fans started throwing bottles onto the field, prompting Longhorns coach Steve Sarkisian to step in. He walked over to the student section, urging everyone to calm down. After several minutes of delays and heated discussions, the officials made a surprising call: they picked up the flag and ruled that there was no pass interference. That meant Texas got the interception and the ball back at Georgia's nine-yard line.

Fans share their takes on the wild turn of events:

“Moral of the story if you don’t like a referees call throw bottles and they’ll gladly change it for you,” a fan wrote.

“New meaning to “Home Field Advantage.” And the call should have been overturned immediately,” another wrote.

“Setting the “drunk college kids can bully us into changing calls” precedent is a bold strategy, cotton,” Bad Sports Refs wrote.

“Did the bottles... save Texas?,” a fan wrote.

“Everyone remember this next week. When you get mad, just have your crowd start throwing stuff on the field so the refs will make up rules,” another fan wrote.

“And people say throwing trash on the field doesn’t work!” one wrote.

Georgia Bulldogs outclass the unbeaten Texas Longhorns

No. 5 Georgia proved it’s still a strong contender for the national championship during a thrilling Week 8. They showed their strength by defeating No. 1 Texas 30-15 at Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium, handing the Longhorns their first loss of the season and their first as SEC members.

Just as Alabama shocked Georgia earlier this season, Kirby Smart’s team returned the favor against Texas. Georgia’s defense was relentless, putting immense pressure on one of the nation’s top offensive lines.

Meanwhile, the Bulldogs found enough offensive balance to build a lead and maintain it.
