Arkansas Razorbacks Football: Auburn and Controversial Officiating

Oct 10, 2020; Auburn, Alabama, USA; SEC officials await the official review of a penalty called on the Auburn Tigers during the fourth quarter against the Arkansas Razorbacks at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn Tigers quarterback Bo Nix (10) didn't field the snap cleanly and spiked the ball awkwardly backwards on the play. Arkansas players began chasing after the ball as if it was a fumble while officials whistled and ruled the play dead. The review determined that Nix's spike was an incomplete pass. The Tigers made a 39-yard field goal on the next play and went on to win. Mandatory Credit: John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports
