Wasn't a conference game but this one sure pissed off my old man
Me and your old man both...Bama was down 34-7 goin' into the 4th quarter and Walter Lewis led what should've been a comeback for the ages if not for that call...Bama would've won (with a PAT) 35-34...
The year before that game, in the same end zone, a Penn State receiver was clearly out of bounds (by almost 2 yards) when he caught the ball and it was ruled a TD in a game against Nebraska, costing Nebraska it's only loss that year...Penn State would go on to win its first national championship. Not sure if it's accurate, but I read somewhere that it was the same officiating crew in that game as it was against Bama...
It was so bad, Sports Illustrated prepared an article and illustration that mocked the large chunk of real estate effectively de-annexed from the back of the end zone and extended a small chunk to the left side to show the true dimensions of the Penn State end zone...

Anyone who watched that 2006 game KNOWS that the refs screwed the pooch in favor of Auburn at least three times in that game. People forget about the phantom holding call right before halftime as Craig Davis was heading into the endzone.
The PI penalty was PI/holding. You cannot tackle the guy before the ball is tipped then announce that the ball is not catchable....wah ya gonna believe me ....or lyin eyes????
If you play a close game in he state of Alabama against either of the two teams in the state.....you HAVE to factor in officiating chicanery.
Still would like to know what was paid to the officiating crew in 2009 to blow Peterson's sideline interception....that was really bad. Surprised after that LSU ..or any team for that matter did not run a Switzer special against the umpire
