GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -Florida coach Urban Meyer says Southeastern Conference officials missed a late hit against quarterback Tim Tebow in Saturday’s game against Georgia.
Meyer said Wednesday he sent video of Tebow getting knocked to the ground to Rogers Redding, the league’s coordinator of officials.
Meyer says the play was directly in front of the referee and should have drawn a flag. Tebow handed off to running back Jeff Demps on the play, took a few steps to his right and wasn’t looking when linebacker Nick Williams slammed into his chest.
Meyer says he has “great confidence” in the SEC’s officials, but added that they have to protect quarterbacks.
