Not referring to that.

quote:

On the 39-yard touchdown pass from Nick Marshall to Sammie Coates that helped Auburn to tie the game at 28-28 with 32 seconds left, Tigers fullback Jay Prosch was 5 yards downfield blocking Alabama linebacker C. J. Mosley on the same side of the field as the pass. When Marshall passed to Coates, it appeared that Prosch was making illegal contact, according to Rule 7-3-8 of the N.C.A.A. rule book.

In an email response to a request for an interpretation of the rule, the Southeastern Conference said, “It is not offensive pass interference when, after the snap, an ineligible receiver immediately charges and contacts an opponent at a point not more than 1 yard beyond the neutral zone and does not continue the contact more than 3 yards beyond the neutral zone.”

Prosch was an eligible receiver and he was making contact with a defender 5 yards down field. Mosley was not able to get to Marshall and Alabama’s defensive back had to come up to try to make the tackle on Marshall, who passed over his head to a wide-open Coates.
