re: Question about the bias of SEC refs

That was the game where the Tiger was completely tackled before the ball got there and it was called pass interference (right at the end of the game). After review it was seen that the ball was tipped by another player 2 feet in front of the receiver well after the receiver had been tackled. Because of the tip it was deemed not pass interference. One of the biggest screw jobs I have ever seen.

I know this is going to send people on this board off the deep end, but that is absolutely the correct call.

The pass was tipped in the opposite direction of the receiver, several feet before it got to him. He had no chance to catch the pass because of the tip.

Pass interference had been called. When a ball is deemed uncatchable, pass interference CANNOT occur. Thus, the flag was correctly waved off.

What LSU fans SHOULD be arguing is that defensive holding was the correct call. That would not have been waved off because of the uncatchable ball. Since the Auburn defender did grab the receiver well before the ball arrived, I certainly think defensive holding could have been called. Whether it was not called because of the great Auburn-owns-all-SEC-officials conspiracy, I'll leave for you to debate.
