Social media reacts to officials missing an obvious Alabama facemask

It’s just the first quarter of the Iron Bowl but the officials have already made an impact on the game.

After Alabama scored a touchdown on their opening drive, Brian Battie elected to return the ensuing kickoff and his facemask was clearly grabbed by the Crimson Tide defender.

However, the refs missed the call and actually flew a flag on Auburn for a block in the back. The missed penalty forced Auburn to start the drive on their own six-yard line.

The missed call fired up Auburn fans who took to social media to react to the terrible call, here is a look at the top reactions as well as the play that started the controversy.

I’m blind
I’m deaf
I wanna be a ref.

I think that facemask could be seen from the international space station
