During last years IB, the play was called correctly.
NOTE: We also won by three, so even if you take the play off the books, it is not like Bama wins. The whole game plays out differently.
It was not called correctly. There was not enough time to get any play off. They stood over the ball and incorrectly treated it as if they were returning from a timeout.
You were basically given a free timeout as a result.
Doesn't matter how it would have affected the game, it's something that needed fixed either way. Otherwise it might happen in more games, even though it's usually called correctly. Many of teams haven't been allowed to make that kick.
I think most Alabama fans look at the 2 pick sixes and the missed FGs as what ultimately did Alabama in, but there is no doubt Auburn got 3 free points.

Then why change the rule? the SEC explained the situation and rule this way:LINK /
According to Rule 12, Article 3, Section 6 — which centers around clock adjustment at the end of quarters — the officials went by the books.
“At the end of the 1st half in the Alabama vs Auburn game, during a play that resulted in a first down inbounds, the game clock went to 0:00. Replay stopped the game to review the clock. The decision from the Instant Replay Official was that video evidence showed there was 1 second on the clock when the player was down so the clock operator was instructed to put 1 second back on the game clock. The referee came back out to the line of scrimmage and informed both teams that the clock would start on the ready for play. The referee got back in position and blew his whistle and wound the clock. The snap was off before the clock went to 0:00.

It was called correctly. They stood over the ball and as soon as the whistle blew he snapped the ball
