re: The hit out of bounds by Sheppard

if he wouldn't have spun the Auburn player around and then thrown him on the ground 5 yards out of bounds, it wouldn't have been called. But, it wasn't just a shove or tackle that continued out of bounds. He spun around and looked like he was trying to throw the guy as far as he could.

I wouldn't have called it, even if it was against another team. But, it wasn't a bad call.

It was a good call

I did not have a problem with the Sheppard call. Overall the refs did a much better job than in past games. Thankfully they did not call a penalty on AU's last offensive play. It wasn't called a penalty on the shot on the QB, but it was close. That would have been outrageous and Tubs was bitching to the refs for not calling it.

I wear LSU glasses too but this was an easy call. It was a late hit by Sheppard. The Auburn player was standing up about 2 yards out of bounds and then Sheppard went through the motion of throwing him down. He could have held up.

Sheppard has to know where he is at on the field. It was the right call and Les agreed. I will never disagree with THE HAT. End of story.
