Photo: Move over Ed Hochuli, head referee in National Championship Game is absolutely jacked
In any big sporting event, no one ever wants the officials to impact the game in a negative way.
The perfect scenario includes never even thinking about the officiating — for that means there’s no egregious mistakes made.
In the case of Monday’s National Championship Game between Alabama and Clemson, head referee Mike Defee is drawing attention for all the right reasons:

Hailing from the Big 12 Conference, the 54-year-old Defee is the lead referee in tonight’s conference. He’s taken social media by storm with his impressively massive biceps.
Ed Hochuli is watching this referee and shaking his head and saying "hell naw." And doing 100 push-ups.

Famed NFL official Ed Hochuli is affectionately known for his own physical prowess. However after tonight, he may have some competition — literally and figuratively — for the title as football’s most jacked referee.
I want this referee in the national championship game to fight Ed Hochuli at Wrestlemania.
