re: One Second Left BS

Similar situation screwed us last year. ATM got the benefit of a review on the Mond knee on the ground play. They had no timeouts left there and had the call been ruked correctly on the field ATM would not have had the time to do what they did to go tie the game and send it to OT. Essentially the wrong call on the field, gave ATM a timeout and then allowed them to call multiple plays during the stoppage.

It is what it is.

frick Bama.

Umm he’s saying down vote him all you want , he’s been thru much worse to care about an internet troll hating on his post.

He’s a Vet and deserves respect , but also knows he has fought so you can be an internet troll...

Sec will add the 10 second runoff next year .... problem solved ....

there should be a rule change, and I've seen this happen to other teams. A team (without a timeout) should not be aided by a stopped clock to review a play. So there should be some automatic clock runoff, depending on the scenario. Auburn got a first down, so the clock would stop temporarily, but no way they could run their FG on in time, so they could try to spike it, but again, no way they could line up and spike the ball in 1 second. This is a loophole in the rules that needs to be fixed.

Complicated solution, though. Do people want a 10-second run off? What if there's a controversial catch with 5 seconds left that gets reviewed? Offenses would normally be able to spike it here, so a ten-second run off for officials doing their job and reviewing the play wouldn't fit. So maybe there's a rule specifically for when there's only 1 second left on the clock? Maybe. I'm just saying it's not as easy of a rule-fix as people might think.

Off the top of my head you could have a rule where if there's 1-2 seconds left and there's an official review, then the offense has to take the ensuing snap in the same formation/group that was on the field before the review (AKA no kicking team on the field). But still, I don't see how a well-coached team couldn't have their field goal team on the sideline ready to sprint on to the field with 1 second left after a first down.

If LSU received the ‘Bama treatment,’ we don’t lose to Auburn in ‘16, and probably have a different coach and this season likely never happens.

It’s incredible how losing that game on what I thought to be a bullshite call (IMO, Etling clocked it in time) has ultimately been so beneficial to the program.

Great example of losing the battle, but winning the war.

Saban was duped and is a sore loser

Lol make no mistake, this whole thing is definitely because Saban isn't used to weird shenanigans not going his way. If the situation is reversed then Saban is just saying "well those are the rules" and Gus is used to getting shanked by the refs against Bama so he doesn't make much of it.

Yes - LSU has come out on the shitty end of dozens of these kind of "prescient occurrences' == I have no sympathy for someone like Saban getting pricked once every dozen or so years.

Etling didn't clock the ball--he didn't have enough time to do so.

The 2016 situation is exactly what Saban was saying: if the ruling on the field had been adjudicated correctly, it is unlikely Auburn would have gotten the play off for the field goal. In 2016, LSU gained a first down with one second on the clock. They ran up to the ball and were generally prepared to snap when the ready for play whistle was blown. However, the slight hesitation meant that the center didn't get the ball off in time.

Since the review was done yesterday, Auburn lined up while the review was taking place and everyone was ready to go even before the review result was announced. Then, when the ref backed out and blew the whistle, the center snapped the ball on the whistle.

It's crazy that Auburn benefited from both situations, but the process of the review was done correctly according to the rules. Not sure there is a way to write the rule to make it more fair. Just like the Mond knee down last year, there is no way that play gets off without the review happening. (In the Mond case, they ran off 10 seconds because it truly was a running clock, but there is no way aTm would have gotten the next play off in less than 10 seconds. That's why you always want to hold that last time out for a sack, if possible.)

It is amazing that Gus Malzahn has become the SEC Time Lord.

Then again, Bama lost and their tears are delicious. RTWFU!

Oh, I know what he’s saying. It’s just not at all relevant to what he’s saying. There are tons of honorable veterans that post here without attention whoring about it. I’m very grateful for their service but it has ZERO to do with this board.
