The SEC acknowledged Monday that it should have stopped play to review a fourth-quarter kickoff during the Auburn-Ole Miss game Saturday that appeared to show Auburn's Shaun Shivers contact the football.
Ole Miss led by 1 with 5:43 left when a kickoff appeared to graze Shivers' finger before it went into the end zone, where the referee ruled a touchback and blew the play dead. Instead of the play resulting in a fumble, Auburn kept possession and went on to score a winning touchdown on the drive, dropping Ole Miss to 1-4.
