Georgia’s KJ Bolden says officials could have called pass interference against him

Georgia beat Alabama 20-17 on the road in a college football game over the weekend.

Late in the fourth quarter, Alabama quarterback Keelon Russell threw toward receiver Rico Scott, and Georgia safety KJ Bolden broke up the pass.

Replay showed Bolden and Georgia defensive back Braylon Conley made contact with Scott before the ball arrived, but officials did not call pass interference.

Bolden said he would have wanted a penalty if the teams had been switched, acknowledging the disputed play.

Alabama still had timeouts and another chance to score, but Georgia sacked Russell on the next play and later sealed the win with an Alabama penalty.

The no-call added to anger over the game’s officiating, and fans threw objects onto the field after it ended.

Alabama said it will not tolerate such fan conduct and expects respect for players, coaches, officials and visitors.
