Regardless of how those refs justified it or tried to explain it away, it still ranks as one of the worst calls in the history of college football.

As Drexyl points out, the photos that exist of the play clearly show Doucet was being mugged well in advance of the safety tipping the ball. Even if that wasn't pass interference, at the very least it's illegal contact beyond the 5-yard buffer OR defensive holding.

I don't recall those refs being suspended after that game, but I would have fired them.

The refs determination was that the deflection of the pass made it uncatchable.


I get it. You disagree with that. However, THAT was what the officials determined. Once it was determined uncatchable...there is NO pass interference.



Again, move on. There is no referee conference at which they decide that "we are at Auburn, so let's make bad call in AU's favor"


It just does not happen that way.
