The SEC may have another long week and some other Auburn opponent angry with his hands.
After an Ole Miss landing with less than six minutes to play in the final quarter of the Rebels game against Auburn, a bouncing kick gave the impression of bouncing off the left hand of Auburn’s returning Shaun Shivers on the field. the finish area and Ole Miss got the ball there.
However, the refereeing team, led by referee Marc Curles, ruled that the ball had not been played by Shivers and that it was a touchdown.
It’s a tight game, so it’s fair not to know for sure if the ball hit Shivers’ hand. That’s what rereading is for in theory.

And yet the replay didn’t even stop the game from taking a look at the minutes later game, the SEC news firm that uttered Tom Hart and Jordan Rodgers’ team said the SEC repeat booth temporarily watched the game and we decided there had been no touch with the ball.
This is also what Ole’s coach, Miss Lane Kiffin, told you.
“They said yes. You don’t argue in college anymore because they look at everything, supposedly,” Kiffin said. “So there’s no point arguing because the guy says he looked at him and said he didn’t see anything. Even when they don’t stop, they keep looking. “
“Now why didn’t they stop it and look more closely, I don’t know. It’s the equivalent of a purpose game, which they prevent all the time now, forever, apparently. I don’t know. Someone said after the game that it looked as if the finger was definitely moving. But it doesn’t matter. “
One wonders how a repeating officer can take a look at the play and need a moment or a third look. Maybe he missed his bouncing little finger.
This is not the first time Auburn has benefited from (or lack of) a replay of the game this season. Against Arkansas, a wandering snap forced Bo Nix to illegally nail the ball from behind. But because the replay booth did not consider an early recovery from Arkansas due to the rapid live whistle, Auburn retained the ball.
Instead of an eight-point lead at 35-27, Ole Miss had to play with a one-point lead. Auburn took the lead in the final few minutes with a 42-yard landing through Seth Williams, and the Tigers won the game 35-28.
Still, the lack of revision of a tight play that seemed incorrectly judged had an effect in Auburn’s last six minutes against Miss Ole.
