While making one his regular appearances on the weekly coaches’ teleconference with media on Wednesday, the Southeastern Conference’s head of officiating was besieged with questions about two touchdown plays involving pop plays from last week’s games.
The first involving Auburn at LSU was largely overlooked due to the game being a 45-21 rout.
The second was during Ole Miss at Alabama, which ended up being a six-point game.
It occurred early in the fourth quarter after Alabama had closed to within 30-24, when Rebels quarterback Chad Kelly rolled to his right and while throwing at the line of scrimmage completed a 73-yard touchdown pass to a wide open receiver.
