Was the roughing the passer call against LSU legitimate?

I believe in the third quarter Stidham threw incomplete on third down from inside the Auburn 10. However, LSU was penalized for roughing the passer. On the stadium replay it was not clear. There was a pass rusher who was being blocked and possibly was pushed into Stidham, but the replay stopped so it was not clear why the call was made. Was the call legitimate or was it the impetus from the block which caused the pass rusher to contact he quarterback?

They didn’t give a good replay at the game. I was wondering this as well.

If you are referring to the one on Key, it was clearly roughing the passer. He had thrown the ball 2 seconds prior and Key didn't see him throw it, and assumed he still had it.

Was the right call.

That was our perception from 414. Looked engaged with the blocker. Should not have been called.

Orgeron laid into Key on the sidelines. So, I assumed it was a good call.

Key didn't see him get rid of the ball, it was a pretty late hit.

It wasn't close at all. Stidham had gotten rid of the ball like 3 seconds before Key hit him.
