On the last play (more): “I wanted to make sure that happened. I did not see the flag, but was told the flag was thrown. I wondered if his foot was in bounds and it was. When they came back and said they were going to see if play clock had started or expired, I figured that the penalty … if there was a penalty, it was the end of the game. With us staring at the clock, I did not figure out that we had — even with the clock — it would be a difficult victory.”

Indeed. If the flag was thrown (and it seems like the refs told Miles that a flag was thrown, likely for illegal motion (#83 not being set at the line)) then Auburn accepts the penalty, the clock is 0:00, and the game ends.

Because the game CAN end on an offensive penalty.

But do go on with your awesome melt OP.
