As a side note, where's that idiot who said instant replay should be banished? I'd like to kick him straight in the nuts

Eh. I think we should've gotten the chance at a FG there, but lost the game with Spurrier's idiotic clock management (what's new there) and the anemic offense. Can't win with 13 points against anyone.

Disappointing to say the least, but not unexpected. Was thinking 9-3 pre season as a realistic projection and looks like that may be optimistic.

If the clock had indeed stopped at 1 second for the first down, by the time they spiked it the clock would be at 0. Game over either way.

No way you get the fg unit on the field- get over that- maybe one shot at end zone

Clock stops on a 1st down. Especially if they review it and add 1-2. It would be dicey of course, but them huddling and talking about it and adding at least 1 second like imo they should've done would have given FG unit enough time.

they could've had a shot at throwing it in the end zone.

Nevermind - saw you posted that a few posts later.

This. Wouldn't put much confidence in Garcia to do anything, but Alshon Jeffery can do a lot of good things.

And honestly, I can guarantee if the roles were reversed and Auburn needed the FG to tie, my money would be on the officials giving it to them. Auburn would luck out like that because it's only natural Cheezit is the luckiest man on earth.

Clock starts when ball is placed

Impressive win for the Barn and sux for the Chickens. There was clearly some time left but the ref did not blow the whistle before the time expired. "Human element" makes no sense to me. I thought the whole point of reviews is to make sure they get the play right.

yeah that was bull**** when the announcer said that. I don't see how they don't put 1 second back on the clock.

Right but you do realize the refs would've taken time to go huddle, then announce 'Please add 1 second to the game clock'. That takes time and that could've given them enough time to get a FG unit. Who knows if they can snap it in time from whistle but they could've gotten the unit on.

In real time if they stop the clock in time, sure, but the fact that they didin't and would've had to go back and add one second would have given SC some time.

Irrelevant in the end, not the reason SC lost.

There should have been 1 second left on the clock.

If I were Spurrier, I would have run the FG unit onto the field immediately after the play, expected 1 second left on the clock, and snapped it immediately after the ref blew his whistle to start the clock running.

That is still lots of pressure on the kicker to make the FG under those kind of circumstances. However, what I have said is what should have happened.

Only against UT would you get that privilege. With Auburn, the most lucky team in the NCAA, that would never happen.

It would have been stupid to add 1 second after they review & let the fg team get set. Would have been a total screw job against Auburn. It would have been virtually impossible to get lined up & even get a play off if they had left a second on the clock. A hail Mary would have been best case scenario but probably save Garcia another int.

then they should have never waited a clear two seconds after the guys knee hit the ground to blown the play dead and you don't have that dilemma.

It is what it is but would have been a bigger dilemma if they let them attempt a fg. Didn't change the inevitable.

I disagree. It would suck for Auburn - but that's how it should've gone down with the current rules. It was clear there was time on the clock and that is definitely reviewable.

There's a lot of other things USCjr can blame this loss on instead of crying over 1 second that wouldn't have mattered.

that's still a cop out. This specific matter wasn't in their hands and should have been corrected. I don't care either way.

Yea they should have left a second on the clock & let them implode & not even get the ball snapped.
