First off, I'm not blaming Cody, nor do I think one play beat us. I am in no way blaming one single person or play call, but I just noticed something on the replays and I need some confirmation from others. I used to kick, so these things stick out like sore thumbs to me.
I'm assuming AJ McCarron is the #1 holder for Foster? If so, it looks like Cody Mandell held for Griffith.

It also appears that Cody Mandell was the missed tackle/push out of bounds.
0:17 sec mark: LINK
The coulda/woulda/shoulda comes down to could AJ's leadership help pre-snap to prepare prevent [especially after seeing return formation before timeout]? Should a punter have been in better position or have taken a better effort of pushing out of bounds?

Oddly enough, Sunseri is usually the backup Holder...just thought of that. So he may have been the guy in there...which would have meant he likely makes the tackle...

Hmmm, thanks. I guess Cody was 3rd string place holder.

The fundamental difference on the play was that we were set up with personnel and assignments for FG protection, while Auburn was set up for a punt return. As soon as the Auburn player caught the ball and headed out of the endzone, my heart sank. I knew what was coming.
