Auburn got 5 downs in one series in the Red Zone of last year's game. I can't quite remember what quarter because the YouTube video of it got deleted but I remember it was the series that Arden Key and Godchaux combined for the sack in the Red Zone. Their sack was supposed to be on 4th down but Auburn got two second down plays in a row and a 3rd down before that and no one noticed, not even ESPN said anything during the broadcast. Auburn then kicked a field goal on "5th" down.

Found a link, start at 35 minute mark

No they didn't. This was discussed in numerous threads after the game. The announcers said one of the plays was a first down, but in reality it was not. It was still 2nd down. On the next play, Auburn made a first down and they only had 4 downs when they scored. You can look at the sideline marker to see. The ESPN announcers made a mistake and never cleared up their comments.

I somehow doubt this. But if you've got some evidence I'm all ears/eyes

So it would have ended in a field goal anyway?

You people need to chill with the everyone hates LSU. Here's the cold hard truth, LSU doesn't lose games beccause of the refs being biased . They lose games because they got outplayed and out coached.

They didn't get 5 down, although it does appear that way. While obviously ESPN screwed this up I think the referees actually caused this to happen. The crew was so hell bent of allowing Auburn to run their hurry offense as fast as possible that they didn't allow the chain gang to to get set when Auburn got a first down. Which they clear should and are supposed to do. IMO this is what cause this confusion.

No they didnt. The TV markings were wrong. The first play at the 35 minute mark is actually 2nd and 2 from the 12, not 1st and 10 from the 12. They get the first down on that play and ESPN displayed 2nd down, rather than 1st down.

We should all thank Auburn for giving us a whole new coaching staff.

Like many others have said, it happened correctly on the field, but ESPN screwed up the display on TV. However, even it that had been the case, it wouldn't have changed anything. Auburn would have just kicked the field goal one play earlier.

OH MY frickING GOD.

I was at the game. They DID make an error on the chains briefly and on TV. The referees on the FIELD however did NOT make a mistake.
You can go see the drive charts if you want.

Please put this to bed. We would have lost our shite at the game.

They let the clock run on the final drive when it should have stopped after first downs and runs OOB.

The fricking SEC needs to address this blatant cheating. Florida did the same shite to Tennessee in 15.

Yet no one is held accountable...
