00:00Coach, it wasn't everything in this game,

00:02but it was a lot of it officiating.

00:04And once this season, the SEC has already

00:06had to release a statement to say how they messed up.

00:08I mean, when does Auburn step up and try to make a change

00:13for plays that clearly were incorrect that didn't go your way?

00:17I have no clue.

00:21It's not the Auburn part I'm worried about.

00:23I know who our president and administration and AD are

00:28and how they feel, and it sure feels like we're not

00:36getting many breaks.

00:37And it's difficult to take, for sure, even on the I'll never.

00:47I mean, there was a lot of things.

00:48But I felt like we broke the plane.

00:52All you have to do is the ball, just the nose of the ball,

00:54just has to break the plane.

00:55And I thought that had a pretty good shot of that.

00:58I don't know.

01:00But it didn't go our way.

01:02And then I don't know how they either should have had a delay

01:05a game or a timeout, not a whole new play.

01:10I'm still not sure what happened there.

01:13But just, you know, there's a lot of times that, you know,

01:21I make bad calls and officials do the same.

01:24But it certainly feels like we're not getting many of the breaks.
