re: Will Muschamp said the 2006 auburn game was not pass interference

Maybe it wasn’t.

But that was def a catch by Hester on that 4th down in the first half. We would’ve scored on that drive and won the game regardless. fricking bullshite.

I can assure you, if JR was running in that game, it was not a designed play, and it was a pass play where protection broke down, and no yardage was gained.

He had 20 yards of open field on many pass plays, but refused to run. The opposing DC's were not sending pressure, letting him throw between the 25's, and finding passing lanes in the red zone were near impossible when the field shortened.

They rarely sent extra men after him, b/c they were afraid with his arm strength that he could still complete to an open man with a defender hanging on him.

It wasn't until the Tenn game that JR decided his feet could be a weapon. And it ended up causing teams to defend with extra defenders, opening up his passing lanes. Ironically, his feet made him 1st overall pick.

Jimbo’s play calling was horrible. Short/underneath passes were there all day. Auburn’s front four had a hell of a pass rush. Rather than run slants under the coverage Or backs in the flat/circle routes, Jimbo called deep posts and routes. It fell right into Auburn’s game plan. They pressured JR on the deep drops and had coverage over the top and under the deep routs every time. The last two plays of the game are microcosms of the shitty play calling. LSU needs a TD to win and neither play is designed to throw it to a receiver in the end zone. Much like the previous 60 plays that were poorly designed/called given the defense and situation.

And there it is.........

Worst officiated game i have ever seen. The only game that I say that the refs cost us the game because they clearly did.

The play in the OP is #9 Early Doucet not Buster Davis.

They lost 1 game. The other was straight stolen from them.

That AU game was the worst officiated game I’ve ever seen and every single bad call went Auburn’s way.

Hell that no PI call might not even have been the worst call of the game. It just came at the worst moment.

This play haunts me as much as it does any other LSU fan, but Muschamp is clearly trolling. You can see the little grin on his face. He obviously KNOWS that was a horrible call, but he is an SEC fan, so he’s obligated to twist the knife to irritate a rival.

Having said that, he can still politely give himself a rectal probing.

The logic of it all is still mind-blowing.

Basically because the ball got tipped a split second before the ball got to him caused the flag to be waived off.

This application of the rule means that if a DB tackles a receiver, but it is deflected or intercepted by another DB, then there is no PI because the ball was tippe

Its all in the timing. If there is more than incidental contact with a receiver prior to the ball being touched by either team its pass interference . A tipped pass is not always uncatchable but is made more difficult by interference prior to the ball being tipped. Visual evidence shows the ball in flight and the receiver being tackled .

they lost on the road to a 13-1 national champ UF, and an 11-2 Auburn team (that beat UF).

could we have won both games? yes. should we have? probably. but those were really good teams we lost to.
