Alabama/Auburn
 

4:01 in second quarter.

Run initially called TD, replay reversed it. Sure looked liked the ball crossed the goal line as his hand touched the ground out of bounds.

Agreed, They took it frame by frame and it sure looked like the right call on the field.

Didn't care for that reversal. Or the reversal at 1:40.

Agree. I thought the replay official missed both.

On the final play. Anyone else see that player in the back field waving his hand back and forth? Could that have been considered a fair catch signal? while the ball was in flight.


I wouldnt have called just curious.

No. Not unless common sense took an inopportune vacation.

He was waving before the snap. Exhorting the crowd.

How about the sideline not covered on the return?

The L is stuck inside when he pinches in after the kick. The F is under the upright and has no chance to get to the sideline. While Davis does not go out of bounds, that sideline was challenged and not covered until the L recovers from the hash (you see him weaving between players) and gets there after Davis passes him and cuts it back inside....

The L got sucked in. Thankfully, replay would've been there if the runner had stepped out of bounds.

Maybe. I've still seen no sideline shot, and the sideline cameras might have been retasked for "end of game" shots and not watching the sidelines during the runback.

One shot didn't have the straight on angle, but it sure looked like he was in-bounds all the way down.

I'm an F and I know for a fact that the second the kick's blocked, I'm sprinting for the sideline -- so while the L is not there, it could very well be the case the F is on the sideline (albeit many yards away).

An unbelievable ending, that boils down to a single fact; the Auburn team kept their head in the game up to the ACTUAL end, Alabama was thinking about Overtime.

And the Auburn coach put his team in a position to win by kicking the game tying extra point instead of going for 2.

And the Alabama coach put his team in position to lose when he went for it on fourth down with 5 minutes left, instead of kicking a 30 yard field goal to make it a 10 point game. However he probably had zero confidence in his kicker at that time.

Yet he chose to attempt a 57-yard field goal over a hail mary?

I guess hindsight makes it easy.
