Okay, I've taken the time to read the NYT article your OP references.

Here's the link for anyone else since you were too lazy to put in your OP:
LINK

I've read the pertinent section 5 times and I see no clear and compelling case that what Prosch did was illegal or worthy of a penalty. The email response from the REC league office is hardly damning of Prosch. Certainly the REC would have let us know if Prosch violated some rule.

(Emphasis added below by me)

quote:

On the 39-yard touchdown pass from Nick Marshall to Sammie Coates that helped Auburn to tie the game at 28-28 with 32 seconds left, Tigers fullback Jay Prosch was 5 yards downfield blocking Alabama linebacker C. J. Mosley on the same side of the field as the pass. When Marshall passed to Coates, it appeared that Prosch was making illegal contact, according to Rule 7-3-8 of the N.C.A.A. rule book.

In an email response to a request for an interpretation of the rule, the Southeastern Conference said, “It is not offensive pass interference when, after the snap, an ineligible receiver immediately charges and contacts an opponent at a point not more than 1 yard beyond the neutral zone and does not continue the contact more than 3 yards beyond the neutral zone.”

Prosch was an eligible receiver and he was making contact with a defender 5 yards down field. Mosley was not able to get to Marshall and Alabama’s defensive back had to come up to try to make the tackle on Marshall, who passed over his head to a wide-open Coates.


That's some pretty weak sauce for "vindication".

He violated that rule. The play as it was run is illegal.

I listened to Phil Savage saying the same thing. He likened it to some flag football play and said both Prosch and the TE on the opposite side were blocking downfield on the play.

Prosch was never 5 yards downfield when the ball was thrown.

you can actually see Prosch hit the defender 2 yards out - and then if you watching Prosch's you can clearly see the right shoulder pad lift up as he is spun back around by Mosley.. huh, funny, anti is arguing about a no-call.. Mosley was holding Prosch, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A HOLDING CALL ON MOSLEY, AUBURN WAS SCREWED!!!

Rick Neuheisel is now saying it was illegal. Looking at that gif Prosch was chicken fighting with Mosley SIX yards past the LOS when the ball was released.

Blind Barners. Rick Neuheisel,the NYTimes and Phil Savage all saw it like I did.

Dismukes and it looks like number 67 were charging downfield at the time the ball was thrown...67 was nearing the 35 when the ball was released. Prosch was clearly run blocking near the 34. LOS was the 39 and a half

Illegal play and more and more analysts are agreeing...nice tackle there 77 that hold was plain to see.

I can't believe this is still going.

BTW, the play was as legal as they come.
