Did anyone think officiating crew against Auburn was terrible. They also seemed very suspicious in helping Auburn the best they could. Example 1: After the Auburn onside kick, the officials hurried to place the ball that way their would be no review. Example 2: The touchdown run if I'm not mistaken by Hill that was called back for a terrible holding call right next to the Auburn sideline, the Auburn player actually tried to shed the block and ended up pulling I think it was Landry down. Example 3: Jarvis Landry TD Catch, this was the most obvious, there was a face mask, and Landry never touched the ground, I don't know if this was unreviewable, but that was awful. Example 4: Beckam Jr. Pass interference, he was not within 5 yards of anyone in the first place, and secondly it looked like the official threw the flag being scared he was going to catch it inbounds. Also the officials were always talking to auburn coaches.

There were some bad calls on both sides. The PI call on them, we had an OL downfield. We were fortunate on the onside kick call.

You are incredibly wrong about this one. Both the top of his helmet, and his elbow (entire forearm) were down. It wasn't even close. He was down.

Regarding the holding, it was on another Landry TD, and it was total BS.

OBJs PI was pretty nitpicky. I couldn't see that being called.

The AU onsides kick was MUCH closer than the Landry being down call, but they got it right too.

Oh, and the officials were always talking to Les.

Auburn definitely pays officials but you're not supposed to talk about it on the internet because you will look crazy.

Move on, save it for next year when we play in Auburn where we are 0-100 in important calls.

there was a slight shove at the end that was probably unnecessary.

Agree with your points.


But the officials were still horrible.

Yes. They froze the shot in tv. He was down.

I agree, but I think it's funny the majority aren't commenting on the numerous holding calls that went uncalled. Instead, everyone picks out the one call that was a no brainer, he was down by helmet, he was down by elbow and forearm, and we scored on that possession anyway.

That's his job to spot the ball. The play was reviewed, and it was very close, but they actually overturned it.

It was a Landry bubble screen, and either Boone or Wright was the blocker. I agree that it was a bad call, but nothing suspicious. (Watching the replay last night, this may have been the most animated that I have ever seen Les argue a call)

First of all, his helmet hit the ground making him down. Secondly, even if he was not down, once the ref blows the whistle, the play stops. There is nothing to review since the whistle was blown to mark him down at the 8 yd line.

I had a great view of Beckham's route. I was watching him most of the way, and the push off happened earlier in the route, not at the tail end. He did push off.

If there's one thing in life that's universal where ever there is large amounts of money involved, it's corruption....it's about the point spread, dude...and I don't give one fat f---what anyone says, it's there right in front for all to see...from the dirty money in recruiting all the way up to the top of the pecking order! It's sad to say, but I'll still support college sports in spite of it because it's good for Louisiana and its people.

didn't we get away with an ineligible man downfield when they called a PI on Auburn earlier in the game?

I think it was evan washington rumbling way down the field
