OREGON vs. AUBURN - Delay of game?!

BUY THE MUSIC: http://itunes.apple.com/us/album/derby-day/id389365921?i=389365954&uo=4

Within one minute of game time, the referees show TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT rationales for calling a Delay of Game penalty. Oregon gets called for snapping the ball with time on the clock - while Auburn lets it expire and DOESN'T GET CALLED?!

If we're gonna play this game, go back and watch the first Auburn field goal of the second half. The. Tigers were lined up for a fake until an official alerts an Oregon player to our wide open tight end. The fake is called off and you can clearly hear our WR coach yelling "why did you point him out?" WDE bitches.

@blobpredator On the replay... Lutzenkirchen motions back to the formation, followed by #37 (Talmadge Jackson) for the Ducks. This all happens while the ref is still standing over the ball at the line of scrimmage. If the Auburn player was uncovered, why is Jackson seen running back to the formation with him? If Auburn was going to "hide" a player near the sidelines... don't they need to take into consideration that the refs have to place the ball?

looks like just a bunch of sour grapes to me!  All oregon had to do is scoe with 1st and goal from the 3 and none of this would be relevant....instead 4 chances 0 points

@jeditiger11 Dude, Auburn stopped Oregon at the goal line, and Oregon did the same to Auburn. With two minutes left in the game... the score was TIED, remember? The point is that Auburn received FIVE EXTRA MINUTES on this drive thanks to the refs. Oregon had THREE SCORING DRIVES in this game that TOTALED six minutes?! My point is that if the back judge is calling "delay" on Oregon with ONE SECOND REMAINING on the clock - then how can he allow an EXTRA SECOND FOR AUBURN just three plays later.

[ruliarch]

@ChinookUT Really? As much as .9 seconds off?

So was it PLUS .9 seconds off? If so, Auburn snapped the ball in time, and Oregon was penalized for snapping with TWO SECONDS on the play clock?

Or was it MINUS .9 off? Then Oregon was penalized for snapping at :00, but Auburn wasn't penalized for snapping it TWO SECONDS late?!

Remember, these plays happened only one-minute apart - so the play clock/TV clock "timing is off" argument STILL MAKES ZERO SENSE.

Poor Ducks fans.. Can't win the game, and can't lose it either...without crying.

[youngballa4money]

hahaha idiot oregon fans!!!! you will never win one!!

[srsilencer]

This is all good and everything but you cant see the field clock either.. And if you have watched football on ESPN before you should know that they always have the lines on the field and the clocks as well as the score , in some cases, perfect......(note the sarcasm)

@ruliarch by the way if you dont mind me asking, whats your zodiac sign?

[SuperKnight3744]

@ruliarch They completely robbed us man...but what did you expect. Auburn and Oregon, surely they are gonna give it to Auburn. This is coming from a bama fan but honestly, i want oregon to win National championships left to right and back to back. It can't happen now. But I promise you. It will someday :)

[Duckman2052]

So the referees botching calls in favor of their cash cow is surprising....how?

[MrDestryMurray]

I find it hilarious that Oregon is still whining..

Let it go Ducks, Oregon will never be on the level of the SEC. Just face it.

WDE.
