My daughter’s boyfriend is a UK fan and a big SEC homer….he wanted Auburn to win and he even said Penn State got hosed.
Auburn board not happy...

I don’t know how they even came up with the location to spot the ball since they decided to put it in a location that the ball allegedly was at before the whistle blew. At best it was a SWAG.
As for the end zone play, PI is a subjective judgment call. Many factors go into making the final judgement.
Was the ball catchable? No.
The DB and WR have equal right to catch the ball. Was Brisker behind the receiver and go through him to attempt an interception? No.
Did the DB have his back to the play without his eyes on the ball? No. As a matter of fact he was facing the QB looking to perhaps try to get possession of the ball himself.
Did the DB shove the WR to the ground? No. In fact the WR grabbed the DB’s jersey at the shoulder pulling him (Brisker) down, which could have been called OPI by some officials. This was even mentioned on the game broadcast.
It was a perfect, textbook non-call.
How do you know that? You can see the future? That’s just a dumb statement neither you nori know how impactful it would have been since it never happened.
Actually, in this case it's worse.... I think he's actually a "posing" ASWP fan (or b1g shill douche).
I don’t know why anybody responds to him. It’s a character he plays in here, like wolv except not fun.
No doubt he’s a Pitt fan….he’s SweetRevenge78 with a different account.
Speaking of obtuse, what are your thoughts on the PSU intentional grounding call?
Actually, with Cliff completing 88% of his passes all night there's a good chance he connects on the real 3rd down. The debate then becomes whether or not the completion would've been long enough for a 1st down.
That should have been offensive pass interference - loss of down and ten yards, which would have moved Penn State off of the 2 yard line. Terrible officiating there.
Well, according to their loss of down thinking, we would have been forced to skip 1st down.
Whatever UNRANKED auburn has to tell themselves now that their season is shot and life is meanlingless for the next 11 months. When football is a religion, you run that risk.
This is going to sound like a generic statement, but really some of those spots, quick whistles, and PI calls (and non-calls) are subjective and could go either way. I can understand different reactions depending on which side your part of. What isn't debatable was the total BS over the 3rd down - 4th down situation in the 1st half. I believe there are 7 or 8 refs and they can't get together to discuss the situation ? Homerism at its best. Everybody watching knew what the situation was and they didn't ?
I really liked CJF's reaction when asked at halftime about it - raised eyes and total silence. That spoke volumes. In future B1G - SEC games, keep their refs where they belong - in the South

Sour grapes perhaps? Here’s the take from an Auburn pundit, one Mr. James Jones (SBNation - College and Magnolia), bless his heart:
The White Out had zero to do with Auburn losing that game. I’ve been to a dozen other college stadiums, and I’ve never seen a more poorly managed atmosphere. The concourses are too small, and there are nowhere near enough concessions workers. It literally took all of halftime plus two possessions to get a bottle of water. They play the same whitebread songs constantly. They don’t let the band do anything. It might as well be an NFL game. But hey it was almost as loud as LSU, and all your fans wore the same color, so good job?

blah blah blah. although I agree about the songs. They are still using Guido's iPod from 2004
Well that is just wonderful. I'm glad they don't have any excuses.
Why didn't he mention the 5-6 calls that kept them within striking distance all night?
Gee Wally, you can’t cut off a 5 yard route. Duh. That call is for patterns when we is running downfield. Like Dotson was.
I visited a couple Auburn message boards after the game. There are a few bitching about the officiating, as usual. But for the most part they are bitching about their own coaching staff and their own playcalling.
Of course they are not happy, if your team was the beneficiary of so many blown calls and still lost, you’d be mad too!
If Yurcich had called the endzone fade on 4th and goal from the 2, I'd still be roasting him over the coals.
I would like to see a back shoulder throw in the RZ to Dotson, KLS or even one of our TEs though. Perhaps on a down earlier than 4th.
That play call was 100% intended to draw a flag. After the Nix flop appears to be something they work on.
But they did not blow the play dead. you can watch it live and you hear the whistle when he is 1.5 yards past the first down marker.......
To be consistent could the Nix have been called for Intentional Grounding on the 4th down play?? Clearly no receiver near the play.
Same thing with the bitching about the coaches and play calling after a loss….of course, many here do it after a win.
I really admire your consistency. Amazing how consistently anti-PSU and wrong you can always be but hey you are consistent.
Hey, he’s always right. He had us 2-2 in September this year with a nail biter against Ball State. How can you question such accuracy? He also said in 2016 we would be lucky to win 3 games, so he has a long history of pinpoint predictions.
The play is not dead until the whistle is blown and it wasn’t until the market was reached. Hint: you’re a dope.
Looks like it. Apparently Auburn has an acting coach from one of the European soccer teams.
Direct quote from Herbie, “And he (Nix) went down and rightly so.” ****er was admiring Nix’s lack of character which seems appropriate for a Suckeye.
The whistle was blown AFTER Mustipher surged for the first down.
Nix intentionally grounded. Clifford did not.
B Smith was clearly trying to stop himself and Nix flopped for a bogus penalty OOB.
AU WR pulled Brisker down in EZ
3 downs…nuf said
Wallace….Stop being absurd.
Intentional grounding really is one of the most pointless penalties in the sport. If they don't call it, you lose the down anyway. And at the end of the game, when there is literal intentional grounding to stop the clock, that is somehow fine and there is no loss of yards.
To be consistent could the Nix have been called for Intentional Grounding on the 4th down play?? Clearly no receiver near the play.
And equally clear on video that Nix never goes OUTSIDE the Tackle Box - and that call is supposed to be Reviewed On Video by booth when QB's position relative to Tackle Box is in question. Inexcusable and utterly inexplicable that the play wasn't Reviewed (ditto the Mustipher spot which was 2 full yards past line-to-gain when whistle blows - which is where the Rulebook says the Review Booth is to spot ball on such a play - i.e., where ball is at the sound of the whistle making ball Dead! Hence the saying Refs actually use - "play to the whistle" on late hits and such, IOW justification for dead-ball fouls are that they occurred AFTER the whistle making play dead. Utterly inexcusable that neither of these plays was reviewed.).
There's really no downside to intentional grounding. Getting the penalty equates to taking a sack at the same spot so the result would be the same. Therefore there's nothing to lose in taking the chance the penalty won't be called. If they want the rules to actually penalize IG, it should be loss of down minus five yards from the spot of the foul.
