On a critical 4th-and-4 play with time winding down in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s Iron Bowl, Auburn looked like it was lining up to go for it (or at least attempt to draw Alabama offsides).

However, a closer look at the formation revealed that the Auburn punter was lined up at receiver, which would have allowed the Tigers to shift and execute a punt without dangerous return man Jaylen Waddle on the field.

You can see the brilliantly designed formation below:

After the game, Alabama coach Nick Saban called the play “unfair,” which, naturally, led to him being ripped on social media.

Here are just a few of the reactions to Saban’s complaint:
