After further review: 8 officials errors favoring Auburn in last 1:30

After careful review of the last drive, Les Miles and LSU performed very well, except for one glaring player error. There were 8 errors by the official which all favored Auburn. Even if you give them the slightest benefit of the doubt it was glaring just how inept or biased they were:

1:38 Etling scrambled for first down at AU 27

1:30 1st & 10 AU 27 Etling complete to Dural. Officials called forward progress stopped in bounds at AU 19. Dural still fighting for yardage and they are actually tussling and Dural went out of bounds on his feet.

If forward progress stopped the play ended at 1:23, yet the whistle did not sound until he was out of bounds. If that was the case the clock should have stopped. The officials mad a post play decision forward progress was stopped on the field but that was not the live call on the field.

1:03 2nd & 8 AU 19 As a result of the failure of the officials to stop the clock 20 seconds ran off before next snap. Etling threw to Smith near the goal line. Pass ruled uncatchable by ref so clearly he saw pass interference. Actually there was clear holding by the safety so something should have been called

:58 3rd & 2 AU 19 Etling to Dupre to AU 14 for first down Dural down with defender on himat ;56 Umpire 5 yards away looking at them an does not stop the clock for first down catch. Another official further away stops the play at :54 but 2 seconds were lost.

Officials hurriedly set ball in play after moving chains. Within 7 seconds they signaled clock to start running again with receivers still running back from deep routes

There s confusion in getting set as Dupre line dup on wrong side, Etling waved him over at :42 and the snap was at :34, so that play took 24 seconds to begin. This was the only true gaffe by LSU on the drive.

1st & 10 AU 14 Incomplete pass

:28 2nd & 10 AU 14 Etling sacked to AU20, last time out LSU

:24 3rd&10 AU 20AU Carl Lawson clearly off sides and 2 feet past LOS when ball snapped and no flag
Etling complete to Dupre to AU 10. Dupre may have been able to get out but fought for yardage. [b]If offsides called play would have stopped at :19.

Instead they had to hurreiedly set up

:05 AU10 Etling to Dural at 4 for first down. He is clearly down at :02 with 2 officials looking right at it and play not stopped until :01. LSU flagged for illegal motion

After penalty LSU has :01 to initiate a play instead of at least 2 seconds or more given official errors during the drive. There was no signal given by the official to start the so on what basis did the clock operator start it.

Finally Malzahn and players began jumping in celebration yet there was no official announcement of teh review by official Hubert Owens for 12 seconds. Did he give tehem a sign prior to his announcement?

Granted all of these issues are seen through an LSU lens, but if even a could of the officials errors had not occurred LSU wins.
