Auburn's phantom TD in our 2010 game. Newton fumbled at the goal line, an Arkansas player picked it up and returned it about 20 yards, but the refs had already called a TD and didn't consider this irrefutable evidence.



There was no evidence of the ball ever crossing the goal line, so what did they need to see?

There was also the infamous "Pass Interference My arse" game against SMU in 1982. The game was played on national TV inside Texas Stadium. This was the best year for the cheating Pony Express and this game would decide who won the SWC, and went to the Cotton Bowl.

With Lou as our coach, Arkansas appeared to have the game won, so SMU threw up a hail mary and the refs called PI on Arkansas. Back then, the ball was moved to the spot of the PI call, which allowed SMU to kick a FG and tie the game, which is all they needed to win the SWC. The NCAA changed the rule in the off-season to what it is today.

Pass Interference My arse!
