Home cooking for Auburn? Questionable call on would-be Kentucky touchdown ends in turnover
I'm not watching the game, only listening. I'm listening to the AU network which makes no excuse for being homers yet even they, surprisingly not only commented about the call prior to the decision being announced but Stan White, who at times becomes emotionally overboard (like a fan in the stands which I'm ok with) ...when heard the call on the field stands (not changed to a TD) Stan brought up and harped on it although his argument was for Kentucky...but big pitcure I think as a former player and "color" commentator for so long with the AU network he wants consistency and stated how shocked he is, as I am as well, that cameras or something like having with garage doors is not required to be installed at the goal lines for every game..whether the SEC or NCAA but no excuse to have an angle which common sense can deduct the outcome yet by rule of law, the video not being 100% conclusive doesn't allow...for Michael Wayne Bratton (same name as my brother exception of the last name by the way) knows this was NOT AUBURN HOME-COOKING...THIS DECISION WAS MADE IN BIRMINGHAM...SEC OFFICIALS OFFICES NOT AT AUBURN OR BY AUBURN. Long and short is when my beloved AU announcers not only point out the play should've been a TD but they continue harping on it as if I would expect if occurred to AU but it occurred to UK...so must of been bad.
Yet, from the replay I was able to view on ESPN online of the "targeting" call...the AU player attempted to get his head in front of the defender in chase..both running full speed & he didn't launch himself but I guess, again if go by letter of the law, he did make contact with other players helmet from side to back but doubt the guy even felt that part...that could've been a little "IOU" payment by a ref on the field for the decision made in Bham.
Lastly, is Kentucky Offensive and Defensive Lines actually that good??? AU looks vulnerable as they always do in the first game. Which I know for a fact Gus is not turning his OC loose with UGA coming up but crud...have to win this one!!! The Cats are gonna give people issues or AU is gonna struggle at every position w exception of 3-4 players
