New one on me.
Yesterday’s officials took the concept of “pity reffing” to another level. And its a rotten thing to do to 3rd string and walk-on players who get extremely rare opportunities to get playing time in a real game.

I agree

I agree.
Gatewood scored. It was not even close.

Have not seen the play on tape, but in the stadium we were shocked.

I agree he scored and I also agree Gus did the right thing by not scoring afterwards.
I dont know why everyone is so upset that we didnt score 70 and break that record. 99% of the people watching that game yesterday did not know who held the record.
Its not important

Maybe I'm confusing you with someone else, but haven't you bitched in the past about Gus and his lack of killer instinct?

Killer instinct? Scoring then would have been necrophilia.

I agree... and I was in the middle of a bunch of Purdue fans. They were getting pissed when we went for it on 4th on that last drive. Would've been "spicy" if we scored again.

I heard the announcers talk about this. Gatewood definitely was in and then Gus gave Tolbert the ball and he might have went in, but no reviews because of the lead we had. Dumb.
But I'm fine with the taking the knee to finish the game. I was more upset we went into cruise mode in the 3rd quarter. No one could fault our team playing hard through the 3rd and getting real and meaningful play under our young guys belts. That's my only complaint about Gus and it is a minor one at that. I get by doing so we could have had 80, but that's on Purdue not Auburn had that happened.
Oh well, what a hell of a game anyway and it was a great way to finish out the year.

I don’t care about the knee and Gatewood will probably get more chances to score a TD, but taking that one away from Tolbert was BS for a guy that’s never scored or will get another chance to score. Gus should’ve let him punch it in, but I don’t really blame him for taking a knee. Scoring would’ve looked bad on him, but would’ve been a frick you to those refs.

Cost some people some $$$ as well for that second half spread.

No. I have criticized him for taking his foot off the gas at times.
But that has zero to do with this thread or this situation. If you dont know the different, then there is no hope for you

Conversely, some might think allowing 3rd stringers and walk-ons to have the tiny shred of fun and glory scoring would have given them “the right thing to do”. Especially since (1) the Purdue players spent a lot of the game whining and bitching and occasionally punching and cheap shotting and (2) as the announcers observed, Purdue kept most of their starters in until the clock was 0:00. If their starters can’t stop our walk-ons, too bad so sad.
