Gus Malzahn’s Twitter account burns Alabama with reaction to new NCAA rule

Auburn caused some controversy just before halftime of the Iron Bowl this past season, kicking a field goal after the refs signaled for the clock to start running with just 1 second left.
Nick Saban and many Alabama fans were irate with the officials allowing the play to stand, and it certainly ended up being a factor in the Tigers’ 48-45 win.
On Tuesday, the NCAA announced new rules that would prevent a similar situation from happening again. On Tuesday night, Auburn coach Gus Malzahn (or whichever staffer runs his account), had an interesting reaction to the new rule on Twitter:
Interesting rule change. ??#WarEagle pic.twitter.com/zP9EtnXgOx

Clearly, the implication there is that Alabama complaining forced the NCAA to make the rule change.
We’ll see how long that tweet remains up, or if Malzahn decides to delete it.
