I didnt say it was luck, I was disagreeing with it being called a "bonus". I said they knew what they were doing and it worked. Why does it bother you so bad that auburns coach is known for gimmick plays and trickery. That is reality. It is talked about pretty regularly.

Walker, come on and give credit where it's due.
It's simple, it's MAGIC.
Now if he would just disappear.

Apparently Bamas coaches don't know he's known for trickery cause they were definitely caught with their pants down on that play.

I guess you could call it a "trick play" but the intent was not to get the penalty. the intent was to keep the punt returner (Waddle) off the field.

Why does it bother you so bad that the entire Bama staff was outsmarted by Gustard?

If Bama didn’t have recency bias, they would barely be a top 25 team. Y’all should be more thankful.

Well that be the case the barn would be barely there also

The opinions of auburn fans are so clouded by their fandom and jealousy that they rarely make sense

Name the on-the-field results that suggests Bama should be a top 25 team. We are waiting.

Name one the barn should be?

Oregon. Your turn.

The flag was thrown by then. In the interviews they all said it wasn't designed to draw a penalty, but if it was, that's great. Just another loss you can chalk up to Saban not being so smart in football. Kind of like having a bunch of fatasses on the field for a kick return. What is it about Jordan-Hare that makes him stupid?

You are aware that the clock stops when the play results in a first down to move the chains? No? He is not right about the one second.

And 3 seconds is for spiking it...not kicking it. All you need is enough time to snap it.

I'll repeat... if you think in your wildest dreams, in Gus' wildest dreams, in ANYBODY'S wildest dreams, they drew that punt up on purpose knowing it would draw a 12 men on the field penalty, then every one of you has supernatural omniscient powers like the Lord. It's DUMB LUCK. Period. And whoever said above that they said in multiple press conferences it was "designed to draw a penalty", oh bullcrap, not one single person has ever said such. It's absolute mythical garbage. That was literally the LEAST LIKELY possibility....jumping offsides on 4th and 4 to give them a first was realistic (I'm pretty sure they were thinking that, heck THAT might've even been the intent of the whole play, perhaps they weren't even gonna punt from that play), but there's ZERO chance any human in the existence of earth would've had a thought it'd purposefully get 12 men on the field. That's an uncommon penalty in ANY case. Again, 101% dumb luck. When it was called, I actually thought Bama's #48 had jumped offsides. Nix pointing out 12 men in no way indicates they expected it, only that it was happening in his view.

And about the "if Bama passes it's skill, but if Auburn passes it's luck", quit twisting it to make a misleading point. Bama is KNOWN for explosive passing, on purpose, they are literally a top 3 team nationwide for two years in passing, with 4 or more 1st round type receivers and what was the likely #1 NFL QB pick in Tua. Heck Mac threw for 350 and 4 TDs!!!!!!! It's what they do! Auburn has struggled on offense ALL YEAR, every freakin' AU fan I know has cried and cussed the whole season about the offensive woes. Even as bad as Bama's defense has been, SO many of AU's plays in that game were dumb luck. Also, when your receiver is wide open running behind the defense, exactly where he's supposed to be on a designed route, and catches it easily in stride. that's skill. But when you simply throw up a 50/50 ball that's caught circus style one handed with TWO defenders in better position than you are, then literally try to throw the ball out of bounds while running for your life and a receiver magically appears from midfield to blaze over and catch it on the sideline, then on the SAME series throws a WILDLY LOW PERCENTAGE pass to Connella (who BTW was covered like gravy and 1" from being out of bounds), you're @#$#@ right that's blind dumb luck. I'm NOT saying they don't count, I'm simply pointing out how frustrating it is when stuff like that happens against you. AU's defender wasn't looking when that ball bounced off Najee for the pick 6, it was DUMB LUCK!!!!!!!!! Again that was the least likely thing to happen in that scenario, in fact that's a HIGH PERCENTAGE successful play for the offense. Does Bama also get some dumb luck plays??....of course, every team does once in a blue moon, but good Lord at how many times those kind of plays happen with Auburn in the Iron Bowl. I always remember the Camback game in Tuscaloosa.... Mark Ingram's fumble rolling 1" from the sideline 20 yards into the endzone for an AU touchback????????????? What are the odds??????? Mark Barron having a torn pec muscle and not telling the coaches, so he's playing safety and let's a wobbling duck pass get caught 2 feet from him while he just watches because he can't raise his arm??????????????? The Kick 6???????????

But I agree that there was going to be another pick-6 at the end of the game if Brown didn't bat that pass down, I gasped at the TV when it happened and told my wife.

BUTT HURT

When you line up and mandhandle my team, you're simply better physically and proved it. then there's no butthurt. But when it's like watching supernatural intervention on every other play, you're dang right I'm butthurt.

Auburn made more plays than bama. It’s simple.

The last punt play was a designed play. No doubt about it. To argue otherwise is just foolish. Even SABAN said that it had them confused.

I have to hand it to ol Gus, he just flat out smarted Sabins on that last play. However bammer got royally screwed on the play to end the first half. Neither play cost bammer the game tho, that would be extremely chitty defense and no discipline with all the penalties

If that wasn’t a designed play, why did they line up the punter at wide receiver? Gus has no coaching skills so his whole career is trickery. To his credit it works some of the time. Auburn would be in the discussion for a national title this year if that moron was calling plays.

You are aware that the clock starts back as soon as the ref puts the ball down

That is correct. But, the play was reviewed, and determined that there was 1 second left on the clock. Per the NCAA rules, the clock is stopped following a review, and there is no runoff. The NFL has a rule in place so that there is a 10 second runoff after reviews. I'm sure Saban will whine enough to get that implemented in the NCAA rule book soon enough
