After Saturday’s disappointing 35-28 loss to Auburn, the SEC admitted to mishandling the muffed kickoff late in the game. In case you missed, the Tigers’ Shaun Shivers attempted to field the short kickoff and it appeared that the Auburn running back touched the football as it went by, rolling into the end zone.
Furthermore, upon review, the officials did not blow the play dead until the Rebels’ Tylan Knight was recovering the football in the end zone, effectively giving what should have been six points for the home team.
