I am pretty sure this is what made the refs call this in our favor. At the moment that the ball hits the Auburn player's knee, he immediately put his hands in the air without even looking at the ball.

I am honestly not sure what the ref's saw that made them overturn the call. I think it could have been called either way. But undisputable evidence?

I'll take it though.

 
The replay this morning showed it better the point of that ball hits the players knee enough to change the trajectory slightly otherwise the ball would have continued straight down, which it did not.  What blows me away was the crappy commentators that we gushing over Auburn the whole game saying it was not even close.  How can you even say that.  Mark Jones was accusing the Gamecocks of bad acting and going off.  Looks like to tool today.

 Meh...I have no sympathy for them.  I agree it could have gone either way.  We've had our share of calls go against us over the years.  Auburn had several wounds that were self inflicted.  That decision to go for the first down late in the first half was one of the dumbest coaching decisions I've ever witnessed.

Also if the call had not been overturned they still had to go the length of the field in 2:21 and would have had to score a TD since they missed that 25 yard FG earlier.

Also their demeanor after it happened. Their faces just seemed to say "yep. Damn."

Yeah we've certainly been on the receiving end of some straight garbage officiating. And that muff call isn't anywhere near as bad as the ones we've had go against us.

 
The Taters have a somewhat lengthy thread about it over on Taternet.  They have been paying attention to our games with concern.  They are worried about us this season.

Todd and Tommy didn't have a good angle on their end and were surprised by the call but happy for it.
