re: SEC Statement re: AU/Arkansas

Nothing was stolen. What clearly happened was that ignorance of the rules of football occurred and the anticipation of a spiked (clocked) ball was the causal agent. Ever see laterals on swing passes into the flat and no player immediately goes for the ball and the referee holds his mud and doesn't blow his whistle ? At which point the defense dashes and recovers the ball or picks the ball up and returns the lateral for a TD ? And yes that's the rule now in college football as well as the NFL. If you are a football official, you clearly showed your ignorance for a job you cash a check for doing. THE WHISTLE IS NEVER TO BE BLOWN BASED ON PLAYERS REACTIONS or LACK THEREOF.
