Truly a college football classic; and one of the so many LSU and Auburn have played over the years (1969, 1988, 1994, 1996, 2007 to name a few). Amazing highlights seeing how you left out those horrible officiating calls from the first half. Of course my edits of LSU wins always eliminate the horrible calls that went against our opponents too. : ) Geaux Tigers! War Eagle! BUCK FAMA!!!!
🙂🙂🙂 I am a LSU fan and I just loved this game, not sure why one my favorite game....What I remember in the studio on ESPN they said that game was the best 7-3 game you ever want to see. Players all over the field.
Does Auburn and LSU games during the 2003 to about 2007 were always great physical games and always came down to the fourth quarter and it usually decided back then he was going to the SEC championship! And yes there's been some horrible calls mads in these games! Lately though LSU has had our number but you always knew back then that this game was a must watch in the sec. Miss those games n I wanna say that both teams always had respect for the other!
SEC coordinator of officials Rogers Redding said the call was correct because the pass was made uncatchable, making the timing of the contact irrelevant. Redding said pass interference "can be called if the ball is tipped after the contact occurs, as it appeared to on the play." However, he said, "it was more than a tip, it was a deflection of the ball so it made the ball uncatchable. A key part of the pass interference rule is whether or not the pass is uncatchable."
Precisely. Doucet, if completely unfettered, still would have had to come back upfield to attempt the catch but it would have been knocked out of his reach before he got there.
It’s just an incorrect ruling though. The logic behind their call would then extend like this. Your receiver gets mugged on the goal line? Doesn’t matter another DB picked it off at the 4; uncatchable because the ball would never have gotten to your guy. You’ve never heard or seen this happen bc the rule doesn’t exist that way. If it did it would be happening all the time.
That was my freshman year at AU. They finished 11-2. Their 3 best wins were against LSU (11-2), Florida (13-1 and national champ), and South Carolina (8-5). Auburn, with an 11-2 with a 6-2 record in the SEC, finished the season ranked just 8th in coaches and 9th in AP poll. Hell, we were 9-2 going into the Iron Bowl and ranked just 15th and ended up playing Nebraska in the Cotton Bowl, which at that time was a tier below the Sugar, Orange, Fiesta, Rose (and Citrus bowl as far as the SEC goes)...the fvck? LSU, on the other hand, also finished 11-2. Their 3 best regular season wins were Arkansas (10-4), Tennessee (9-4), and Kentucky (8-5). LSU, with the same 11-2 record, head to head-to-head loss against AU, a loss to Florida (the national champ who lost to AU), went to the Sugar Bowl and finished #3 nationally.....this 💩 has been rigged for so long. F*** every other school in the SEC, f*** the NCAA, and f*** the sports media and their anti-AU bias.
Refs bailed you out this game. LaFell mugged in the end zone. Phantom hold on Dyakowski on huge play. Hester catch and fumble. Auburn receiver fumbled with clear LSU recovery but never reviewed on your TD drive. Doucet interference overturned. LSU lost to UF and had 5 turnovers (technically 6, muffed opening kick of second half and recovered it for a safety) 4 of them in the redzone. We went -4 turnover margin, outgained UF in the swamp and lost by 13. Our other loss was obviously at Auburn by 4 with twice your yardage. You lost to Arkansas (10-4) by 17 and UGA (9-4) by 22. BOTH at home. Your complaining bc you had “better wins” but forgetting your losses were worse than ours. Your losses were also later in the season with one in November, where as we lost twice in the first 6 weeks. Edit: oh LSU also intercepted a pass in front of an auburn WR who was deemed to have been interfered with. INT overturned, DPI stands. Then the refs use the the exact opposite logic to overturn the DPI on Doucet at the end of the game; claiming the ball was tipped and therefore uncatchable making timing of contact irrelevant. It’s the same set of circumstances but called in opposite ways, each in Auburn’s favor.
Tipped pass negates PI. Happens quite often. The only extra circumstance was that one official saw the tipped pass and a different official saw the PI. They conferenced and confirmed it.
@@rscotta831not when interference occurs before the tip. You can google images of it and see it for yourself; still photos that clearly show it. Not to mention after the game the refs stated that the ball was made uncatchable, making timing of contact irrelevant. Yet earlier in the game they ruled DPI on an LSU interception, despite it happening in front of an Auburn receiver. Both times contact occurs before the tip/INT and yet the rule opposite ways. You can’t have it both ways.
@@INoticeTooMuch1 Tipped pass negated PI. That was what the officials called. That's awesome there's still photos. Maybe the officials can start training for frame by frame images as each play occurs. Video review, as was the case in 2006, wouldn't be necessary. There's a still image of Aaron Murray clearly not crossing the goal line on 4th Down in the 2013 AU/GA game. There's a still photo of Frank Sanders clearly gaining the necessary forward progress on 4th Down in the 1994 Iron Bowl. Every single video of the 1985 Iron Bowl shows Greg Richardson clearly being tackled in-bounds, both knees and left elbow down, a full yard away from the out-of-bounds marker...bammer with no time-outs and 6 seconds left. Had the officials had this special training for frame by frame images as each play occurs, no one would have ever heard of Van Tiffin.
I remember this travesty of justice. Pass interference calls are cannot be reviewed. In the history of this rule, this is the only time it happened. The clock does not stop for an offensive penalty either. Horrible officiating.
The pass interference call was not reviewed by the booth or the refs on the field. The refs on the field got together and one ref noted that the pass was tipped prior to the pass interference, which nullifies the penalty. That exact circumstance happens often. One ref sees the pass interference and another ref sees the tipped ball. A tipped ball always nullifies pass interference. The clock can stop for an offensive penalty if it’s a pre-snap penalty such as false start, illegal procedure or illegal formation. Illegal formation was the call with not enough men on the line of scrimmage. Those two plays were perfectly officiated.
@@rscotta831 They conferred announced the penalty and in the review saw their error. Once called, it cannot be overturned. So if a team is running out of time and has the wrong formation in they can simply pre-snap jump to stop the clock and bring the fg unit on. chaos
@@quasiscorner2589 The pass interference penalty never went to video review. As we all know, it can’t. We can clearly see the Auburn players celebrating the overturned call ON THE FIELD. THEN there was a referee announcement. Not vice versa as when an actual video review in the booth happens. It was a PRE-snap penalty. After an illegal formation call, the clock is always stopped after the play is over. The clock does not continue after that type penalty. The Auburn announcers lost it thinking the clock should have kept running because they didn’t realize there was a pre-snap penalty called. It was the correct call. Of course the offense can bring the FG unit out after a pre-snap penalty. Why couldn’t they? The clock is stopped in that scenario. No chaos. FG unit walks out and lines up with no hurry. You gotta do some research before you post fabrications about rules.
Was simultaneous, thus the reason the flag was correctly picked up. Why do folks incessantly complain so much about this call when LSU had failed to get in the end zone the entire game, but somehow, they were going to miraculously do so 15 yards closer? BTW - Your coach, Nick Saban, voted to approve the "Leaping the Snapper" rule, which was correctly called during the missed PAT in the '04 AU-LSU game, prior to the 2004 season. That bammer, is called KARMA.

rscotta831 would have had a tb way earlier but no int call when lapel got interfered with ohh and the fumble that was overturned to inc. a big 10 official said that it was worst officiated game he has ever reviewed at any level
Bama fans complain about calls like the refs don’t suck Saban off every game. Just last year bama clearly fumbled the ball against MSU and they didn’t even review it

rscotta831 I know...it's nuts. They're a bunch of crybabies. They were the ones with the ball at the end of the game with an opportunity to score a TD. It just was not gonna happen that day.
Physical slober knocker. It seemed like it was 105 degrees that game. The defenses dominated.
Amen
Im a bama fan. And this is still one of my favorites games of all time
I was there on the 40 yard line... it was a defensive war!!!
Russel is one big dude
Football needs to return to this type of physicality especially on defense.

j stan smith haha Buck Fama. you can add 2016 To that list of classics. it was I think the new best match up between the two
🙂🙂🙂 I am a LSU fan and I just loved this game, not sure why one my favorite game....What I remember in the studio on ESPN they said that game was the best 7-3 game you ever want to see. Players all over the field.
Aww this game has the late great Q. Groves! I loved him and Gunn on the ends! R.I.P big guy.
this may have been the hardest hitting game I've ever seen -
I was there .. they shook the ground for sure... A defensive war
The most intense, hardest hitting game I've ever seen.
In fact I believe both teams weren't the same physically for the rest of the season.
jrpark05 Auburn would have gone undefeated had this not been so hard hitting
It was probably the best game I ever saw in Auburn... I scored really good seats too...
Classic SEC Football.
Amen no targeting
One of the most physical games I've witnessed. War Eagle!
RIP Skip #38 and Q. Groves #54🖤 War Eagle
RIP Rod

As a LSU fan I have great respect for Auburn. Their fans are Classy for the most part. ( Bowl Jackson is the only idiot Auburn fan )

Not perhaps, this was indeed the greatest defensive game of the modern era.

Negative c'mon
After a war like that tubs said go home watch TV go to bed
Most physical game I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen all of them
One of the very few times I’ve seen a pass interference call come back. If only that ever happened with my team 😂

Best game ever and i mean the best👍
"The Robbery on The Plains"
Or more factually, "The Tip and Win on The Plains"
A defensive war!
Could you imagine the uproar today if a coach told his team to "go to church"? PTL and WDE!!!
Legendary game
Classic !
6:53 The wheel route!
Is it me or just seems like the sports casters are for Auburn 😂😂
Josh Blocker my apologies buddy. RIP
War eagle!

pause the video at the first instant of 15:27. What is your definition of simultaneous?
He was holding his legs before the interference/tip. LOL, home cooking for Auburn once again like the missed PAT in '04 against LSU.

Throwing into double coverage, yes horrible call.
There was obviously contact before the ball was tipped
