It is also true that with modern replay, that play never happens because Greg Richardson was down in the field of play.


One of my former bosses is a big Auburn alum and was at the game. He says Richardson didn't get out of bounds.

Is this just another one of those typical Auburn excuses that gets tossed around the entire fanbase? Because I've heard it before. I'd like for just one Auburn fan with two brain cells to rub together to explain why it matters, since he got the first down with 6 seconds left, and Alabama obvioulsy would have had enough time to line up while the chains were being moved so they could kill the clock.

Seriously. Auburn fans who continue to hang on to this just come across as whiny bitches or complete football illiterates...or both.
