Horrible penalty on A.J. Green...Decides UGA vs LSU Outcome

A.J. Green caught a touchdown pass with 1:09 remaining, putting Georgia on top of LSU 13-12.
Following the play, Green was flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. For what? We have no clue.
Based on the replays shown by CBS, Green did absolutely nothing worthy of a penalty. It was a horrible call, and a possible game-changer as well as the 15 yards forced UGA to kickoff from their 15-yard line. This gave the Tigers possession inside the fifthty following the return.
Charles Scott raced 33 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with :46 left in the game. With the conversion of the two-point try, LSU is up 20-13.
Again, a horrible, horrible call on the part of the officials for flagging Green. A call that has changed the complexion of the game, and may allow the No. 4 team in the nation to escape with a win they may very well not deserve.
