I had noticed that their center was moving the ball forward by at least a foot on a regular basis, but didn't look at it on that specific play. If you look at other yard line spots during the game he moved it forward much more than one would expect is allowed. No reffing fiascos quite like last year though. The loss of a down was pretty bad.
The refs saving a team that can't manage or watch the clock isn't like losing a down. Auburn QB should have been watching the clock and just not snapped it and walked to the other end of the field if they did not want to run a play. We stopped allowing "redo's" on the playground when I was about 7. Giving Auburn another down after throwing an interception because the refs failed to blow the play dead but should have is something that one would expect from a BIG crew. They've probably been directed to save them all for the glorious Maize out. The BIG cannot have Penn Sate complaining about 3 games where the BIG refs blew it. They have already circled the 15th and 29th of October as dates where the best BIG refs must do their jobs properly and earn their pay.
