The Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgia Bulldogs are battling it out on the gridiron for the 2023 SEC Championship. The Bulldogs enter the conference title game undefeated and will be looking to maintain their winning run and head to the playoff.

However, despite Georgia taking an early lead, Nick Saban's Alabama has the upper hand at the end of the third quarter thanks to two TD passes by quarterback Jalen Milroe.

However, fans of both teams are engaged in a heated debate after a second-quarter play by Alabama during its touchdown drive. Before the touchdown, the Crimson Tide got a fourth-down conversion when Milroe found Isaiah Bond with a 22-yard pass.

Fans of the Bulldogs argued that the ball was moving around and hit the ground as Bond fell to the ground. The referees ruled it as a catch and did not review the play, which has upset many Bulldogs fans.

"Not a catch, it does not matter now, but no clue how they do not review that," one fan said.

On the other hand, others argued that the ruling in favor of Bond was accurate.

Here are a few more reactions from both fanbases about the controversial moment in the 2023 SEC Championship Game.

Alabama will be looking to return to the playoff after missing out last year. On the other hand, the Georgia Bulldogs will hope to achieve their dreams of three-peating after an incredible run in the past two seasons.

The Crimson Tide managed to put up a 10-point lead over Georgia as the third quarter came to an end. However, Bulldogs' QB Carson Beck's rushing TD in the fourth quarter made the scoreline 20-17 at the time of writing.
