SEC football fan and former Atlanta Braves great Chipper Jones watched South Carolina's loss to Florida on Saturday and came away with the same conclusion as everyone else — the officiating crew had a bad day.

"I have to agree (with Muschamp)," Jones wrote Monday on Twitter. "There were 3-4 blatant penalties on UF during scoring plays in the second half that were not called....and I’m a Gator. Don’t blame coach for getting his money’s worth!"

Muschamp was whistled for unsportsmanlike conduct late in the fourth quarter after barking at the SEC's crew following an illegal pick play that wasn't called on Kyle Trask's touchdown pass to Kyle Pitts.

“I don’t want to take anything away from UF,” Muschamp said on Sunday night during his teleconference. “They won the game and nothing I’m going to say is going to change anything. We all saw what happened. That’s in the conference office’s hands. I had a conversation with Steve and the commissioner yesterday, and we’ll continue to move forward. It’s in their hands, and that’s all I know.”

Muschamp said he was going to “keep between” the parties the details of the conversation, and wouldn’t say whether he reached out to the league or if someone from the league reached out to him.

Muschamp had to be restrained by members of his coaching staff after coming unglued on the play that came after Jaycee Horn's interception that was negated for defensive holding.

Trask found a wide open Pitts for a 5-yard score after it appeared wideout Josh Hammond pinned one of South Carolina's defenders at the goal line, an illegal pick play rarely called in the red zone.

"I understand why Muschamp is irate," ESPN college football analyst Greg McElroy said during the broadcast. "Josh Hammond, in man coverage, blocks the defender trying to cover Kyle Pitts and no official recognized it. Muschamp was beside himself for several minutes."

Rhe play in question led to fans throwing towels and water bottles on the field in a testy contest over the final 10 minutes and change. Earlier in the game, Muschamp was unhappy after officials failed to throw a flag during Florida ballcarrier Dameon Pierce's 75-yard touchdown run.

Replays showed Florida wideout Tyrie Cleveland with a handful of Israel Mukuamu's jersey for nearly 20 yards, but no flag was thrown and the Gators enjoyed one of their more impressive plays of the season.

The SEC's league office hasn't yet given a public explanation on Saturday's blown calls during a pivotal game in the East.
