Former college football referee, Terry McAuley feels Alabama football’s muffed punt against South Carolina should have been overturned.

The Gamecocks gained possession of the football in the fourth quarter of the game when a punt bounced off Jaylen Mbakwe, resulting in a muffed punt. The Gamecocks jumped on the football and set their offense up to take a touchdown lead over the Tide.

McAuley revealed the muffed punt should have been overturned due to an ‘illegal block’ in a post to X.

“There are actually two issues here: 1. It is a foul for an illegal block in the back.
