No simulated replacements or substitutions may be used to confuse opponents. No tactic associated with substitutes or the substitution process may be used to confuse opponents (Rule 3-5-2-e) (A.R. 9-2-2-I-V).
Hell, Auburn lines up a backup place kick holder at WR

I just dont think it should be treated as a timeout. In this case the player was tackled and once the ball was spotted and chains set the clock should resume. I dont think you should get to sub players when if the refs blew the whistle at 1 second (should have happened) if they stopped it with 1 second no way auburn gets its fg team on. They are reduced to running a play. That's how it should be handled

Sounds like it’s the exact same rule that got LSU against auburn in ‘16 in Jordan hare as far as there was a second on the clock At the end of the previous play. Time remained. But the clock started at the ref’s mark. The difference is auburn got the snap off in time before the clock went to zero unlike LSU.

Not only that, but they should have only allowed the players on the field from the previous play. Yeah, I'll admit it, I'm glad Auburn won the game, but that one second fiasco at the end of the first half was bullshite. AU got a freebie time out and was able to send the FG unit on the field whereas if it had been properly refereed they would have had to have gone for a TD with only one second left on the clock and no time outs.

If the refs had made the correct call on the field that FG never happens. That’s the problem

Why should a team be penalized for a clock correction? That makes absolutely no sense.
The refs got it right. Start the clock on the white hat's ready signal.

The issue wasn't how the review was handled, it was that the existence of the review afforded AU an opportunity they wouldn't have gotten if the play had been called correctly on the field.
This is the only legitimate gripe - that the official review took place at all. I can see a semi-reasonable argument that a) the official and clock operator should have gotten it right the first time or that b) the officials shouldn’t have initiated the review in that scenario.
With regards to “A”, people seem to forget that the clock operator doesn’t stop the clock until the official gives the signal to do so, and that’s the official can’t signal to stop the clock until he is sure the play is over. The clock operator is always a little faster for the home team, but it’s virtually impossible for those two things to happen within 1 second. But those factors are eliminated during the review.
With regards to “B”, Auburn caught a bit of a lucky break when the officials initiated the review. That said, the rules state:
quote:
The replay official and his crew shall review every play of a game. He may stop a game at any time before the ball is next legally put in play (Exception: Rule 12-3-6-d) whenever he believes that:
1. There is reasonable evidence to believe an error was made in the initial on-field ruling.
2. The play is reviewable.
3. The outcome of a review would have a direct, competitive impact on the game.
Also, there are a lot of folks saying “they shouldn’t have been allowed to substitute” or “they should have immediately started the clock once they saw 1 second left”. That’s just not how it works. I can’t tell if these folks are saying that’s what they believe the rule should be, or if that’s what they think the officials should have done in this game. But the refs shouldn’t just be making the rules up as they go.
At the end of the day, it was an unlucky break for Bama. No more, no less.
