Auburn keeps fighting a battle it already lost to Oklahoma
BRYAN TERRY/THE OKLAHOMAN / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesSpoiler alert: One play does not decide a football game. Yet, the Auburn Tigers refuse to accept their loss to Oklahoma last weekend, continuing to blame it all on one play.
Auburn has another big game this weekend at Texas A&M, but you wouldn't know it by the way the Auburn head coach and athletic director keep replaying and lamenting over the 24-17 loss to Oklahoma.
Auburn head coach Hugh Freeze has been adamant all week about the second-quarter touchdown pass from Oklahoma's John Mateer to a wide open Isaiah Sategna, charging that the play was illegal due to violation of the substitution rule and should not have counted.
