Alabama had its most penalties in the Nick Saban era (17) against Tennessee in a 49-52 loss.
Several former Crimson Tide players were disappointed with the officiating of the matchup.
Some moments happened where Tennessee should have been called for a penalty, but the flag was not thrown.
Alabama fans voiced their frustration with the referees on Twitter, and the former players did too. Players such as Caleb Castille, Eddie Jackson, Marlon Humphrey, and Patrick Surtain II got active on social media because of bad calls.
Kool Aid sealed the game and these money hungry broke boys reffing the game said “nah..”

I hate the rule that targeting gets you kicked out the game. But idk how that’s not targeting
