I saw some crucial calls go the other way - that play where the Ok st receiver caught a TD and rolled completely over and had the ball knocked out as he was getting up was clearly wrong.

Sketchy holding call on Auburn in the 4th quarter after 40 yard gain. Also, running back going out of bounds on last possesion for Auburn cost them the game.

It was a bonehead decision by the back, no doubt, and if he stays in bounds Auburn likely wins, but Harsin also cost them the game by coaching scared. All he needed was one first down and the game is over, naturally he runs it three times, on third down he should have thrown the ball, everyone in the stadium knew they were running it, Alabama was selling out for the run, all he had to do was have his QB fake a handoff and pass it to a tight end or back in the flat, a safe pass that could have gotten them the first down, the Bama D would have never expected it. Then after punting, he plays a soft defense, one sack probably ends the game, but rather than bringing some pressure he decides to go soft, the Bama QB has all day to throw and picks them apart on a 97 yard drive. You see this a lot in college when a dog has a chance to win, Harsin didn't coach to win, he coached not to lose, he coached scared and because of it he cost his team the game.
