    Even if the rule they stated ball was tipped and deemed uncatchable was correct, (which it is not), Then the call should have been defensive holding while the ball was in the air. Either way, First down inside the 10. They had two more logical choices of how to call that play, and chose to go with the least correct answer.

    This is absolute bs. They basically took one position on one call and took the other position on the other call. First it's okay to slam a guy if the ball is tipped because it would have been uncatchable but in the next breath they say that it doesn't matter if the ball was uncatchable because the guy was interfered with. If a ball is intercepted, I'm pretty sure it is uncatchable.

    I know bad calls happen in games and it sucks but it's a part of sports. Having the SEC make a statement like that is very disappointing. They openly contradict themselves in a CYA maneuver. Poor form.

    Edit* not saying your statement was bs, just the explanation. Just wanted to make that clear

    None taken, but I was answering the question that was asked.

    As far as the others, I was at the game and haven't seen replays of the other plays that you reference. I have seen the play that I discussed ad naseum.

    I appreciate your thoughts and wish you guys the best of luck. But there was no way we would have settled for a field goal.

    I appreciate all the comments by the Auburn fans, there are some really nice ones here, and I don't want them to think that I am their enemy right now. It is not the fault of the fans.

    Yes, it should have been holding at the very least. It was a big surprise that the SEC claimed its officials were right and glossed past a real analysis of the specific situation or the game as a whole.

    Cool. Then defensive coordinators can start teaching this technique. Have one DB mug the intended receiver while the other one stands there and waits for the ball and tips it away - making it uncatchable.

    :dis: :confused:
