Pretty sure Eddie did not drop the pass on first down. He was out of the back of the end zone when he caught it. Tigers ran the same play on 4th down. Both knew where the ball was going when they saw the coverage and both made sure it was caught in bounds.

Otherwise, the poster is correct. Very frustrating night for the offense. The defense was outstanding and shutdown an otherwise solid Auburn offense. Reggie Slack was a good QB and they had a solid running game. The sad part is that the Tigers declined immediately thereafter. This was their last winning season until 1995 under Dinardo.

This is correct. I went back and watched the tape to recall the set of events.

On the previous set of downs on that drive (1st and 10 from the AU20), Fuller did drop a pass right at the end zone. He was wide open This further added to the frustration/buildup at the end. ESPN got a great shot of Hodson and Archer both just clapping their hands and saying "that's ok..let's go" after that drop.

Fuller drops one....then later catches one, but out of bounds...then catches the big one on 4th down. Good stuff.
