That was an absolute show of cheating, no other way to explain it.

Did you still yell at the TV even though it was taped? Certainly wouldn't blame you one bit!
I did and got fired up when they scored…then wondered why I was doing that when the game was already decided. I even put on my lucky shirt before I started watching….I’m a sick individual.Did you still yell at the TV even though it was taped? Certainly wouldn't blame you one bit!
Statement from the SEC on the missed down where PSU was forced to punt on 3rd down:
“At 11:45 in the 2nd quarter, Penn State throws an incomplete pass that was judged to be Intentional Grounding. The crew’s enforcement of the penalty erroneously set the down to 3rd; the correct down should have been 2nd. The replay booth was consulted to confirm the down prior to the punt. The replay booth had the down as 4th down as well.
The error was discovered during the media timeout that followed the punt and by rule it could not be corrected at that time."
Credit to BWI’s Greg Pickel for getting that.

Ref mix-up forces Penn State to punt early in win
A mix-up by the SEC officiating crew assigned to Saturday's Auburn-Penn State game cost the Nittany Lions a down and forced them to punt prematurely in the second quarter.
Gee, you think you could get them to explain how Intentional Grounding that CLEARLY wasn't by rule (on several rule criterias) was called a penalty, but later in the game, BLATANT Intentional Grounding by Nix (as confirmed by video - which is a "Reviewable Play" by the Review Booth) was not only ignored, but not reviewed either???

Gee, one would expect that such egregious officiating error AND terrible behavior/game-management when the correct party attempted to show them the error of their ways on a rather simple and basic matter would come with some type of punishment or sanction, wouldn't you?
Didn't have time to go through all 30 pages of this thread so maybe already mentioned, but in the first half I counted at least half a dozen times that the linesman on Penn State side of the field marked our guys at least a visible half yard or more shorter than we actually gained. He also would Mark Auburn players at least a visible half yard or more longer than they gained as they went out along the sideline. It continued in the second half to where they were at least 10 more total plays where he had marked them longer than they actually gained or Penn State shorter than they actually gained. Did anybody record the game so that they can go back and actually look at his spots each time?
The bright side is I think this PSU team might be really good. In the past, we would not have been able to overcome the cheating.
No, in the sec "if you are not cheating, you are not trying." It must be a southern culture thing.
I agree. Numerous times. By the way, did anyone read JF’s lips as he celebrated leaving the sideline and headset behind? Looked as if he were quoting Bill O’Brien.
Parker Washington on the previous play was only about a half yd short of a 1st down and they spotted it a long yd. Two bad spots in a row, I thought.
I was calling it the “One yard Penn St” penalty pretty frequently. It’s a shame
How about the mark on Auburn's last scoring drive where the Auburn receiver caught a little dunk pass underneath the coverage on 2nd down..... the Auburn player then ran backwards in an attempt to get around the defender before any contact was ever made and then was promptly tackled at that point.... The corrupt SEC Crew marked him 3rd-&-1 giving him forward progress to point where he caught the ball despite the receiver never having been touched by a defender and ran backwards voluntarily trying to evade the defender??? Literally should have been 3rd-&-3 or 4 and they marked him inside a yard of the line to gain!!!
Joey Porter Jr. was robbed. That ball was dislodged by whomever got a hand on it and the Auburn player was trying to resecure it before he hit the ground.
I agree with you. It was at the very least questionable enough to not overturn the call. Maybe the worst part of it is the announcers not bothering to take a critical look at the replay to acknowledge the possibility. I was happy to not be able to hear the announcers over the crowd noise most of the night.
I’ve seen officials dropped from the BiG roster in a different sport for this level of error. Probably just demotions to lower level games for this football crew, for years.
Watching Brandon Smith bobble that near INT for what seemed like five full seconds was fun, right?
PSU is one game over 500 now vs the SEC, screw the 5 game losing streak. O yeah those SEC ref's were in the bag for Auburn.
Brutal in real time and recorded.Watching Brandon Smith bobble that near INT for what seemed like five full seconds was fun, right?
Herbie had that as not a fumble before the replay….he was on it. I’m usually okay with Herbie, but he was ridiculous last night about Auburn.
Smith is so close to being ‘there’. Has great instincts and hits so hard - but has to tackle. Hoping he turns that corner. I couldn’t believe he dropped it!
He was like, ‘Okay - good job - now get back to the line of scrimmage and stop the clock - ok good- now you have time to get set for the next play.’
You start suspending people in the SEC for stupidity and they wouldn't have a conference.
I mean let's be serious - how hard is it for replay to run the video back to the start of the series.... and count 2 plays???? Yet the SEC's absurd statement says their Field Referee confirmed it with the Replay Booth before making his absurd announcement on National TV.
The thing that's really bizarre is that as a fan that has watched 55 + years of football, I've never seen an intentional grounding call like that or a team lose a down. Just crazy bad with the replay technology that exists today.
Someone needs to ask AK about being held…he could write a book about it after last night.
Hopefully we will be ready for Nova on this board…we better not get caught overlooking them.
Well Bob I think we should petition the BIG to allow that SEC crew to ref the Michigan/OSU game this year. I'm sure that PSU fans would put up the money as a free gift to the BIG.
They would likely call a good game because they don’t have line to cheat for in that one.
I did. I had plenty of milk for my lattes and fresh scones. Preparation is key.
Not looking at things critically bothers me as well. That ball was moving and they won’t even look at it. How you don’t question whether he secured it before being grounded misses the entire point.
