Auburn football coach Hugh Freeze was not satisfied with the officer in the defeat of his team against Oklahoma on Sunday, and the dry admitted that a crucial touch should not have been counting.
The Sooners won 24-17 against the Tigers, thanks in part to the cunning on a touched or open touch of Isaiah Satega III. The conference then ruled on the illegal room, saying that it should have been called to anti -portive driving.
The second trimester play seemed to show Sategna flowing towards the sidelines for a substitution, but it stopped near the border. Auburn’s defense thought he was out of the match until the ball was broken and immediately threw an easy touch.

During his post-match interview, Freeze admitted that he should “be silent” or risk a heavy fine to criticize civil servants. But the ESPN rules analyst Matt Austin qualified the illegal game after examining it on the broadcast, and Freeze agreed after the match.
Freeze told journalists that he had warned his staff “any off -season” that such games were deemed illegal and should not be managed. Oklahoma’s offensive coordinator, Ben Arbuckle, described it, however, as a “tempo game” rather than a deception, saying that Sategna has registered with a civil servant before the SNAP.

The SEC has taken sides of Auburn in its decision, citing “Rule 9-2 of NCAA football, article 2,” labeled “unfair tactics”.
“No replacement or simulated substitution can be used to confuse adversaries. No tactics associated with substitutes or substitution process can be used to confuse adversaries.

“The officiant crew did not correctly interpret the action as a mask tactic. If it is properly officiated, the second game should have caused a driving penalty as a team of 15 yards evaluated from the previous place.”
Freeze was also frustrated by another piece involving Sategna. Auburn Cornerback, Kayin Lee, seemed to pick up an escape and turn him over for a touchdown. Auburn thought that Sategna had caught the pass before losing control, but after examination, the officials deemed incomplete.
“I don’t know how it’s not an escape,” said Freeze. “I don’t know. Maybe they had a different review at the top. We could have juggled with a first step, taken up and run. We deleted it. I thought it should have been a touchdown.”

Unfortunately for the tigers, the two calls went against them, and losing by a touchdown made the result even more.
