Actually, LSU got royally screwed. Not only on the non-call on interference, but at least two or three late hits by Auburn, out of bounds, went uncalled. All would have affected LSU drives that were moving into AU territory. Still, Russell made a horrible decision by trying to run with the ball when he should have just gotten rid of it on that last drive.
Didn't watch the entire LSU game, and I know that you can expect homer refs to deliver at least a touchdown's worth of advantage in the SEC, but I saw enough to know the officials screwed LSU hard. Not by making easy holding calls or evading late hit calls--the officials were overt about it. This is simply injustice, and nobody on ESPN seems to have the guts to even voice a complaint about it. What a joke.
Bad calls all the way around. The PI on Courtney Taylor was atrocious and cost Auburn fantastic field position. They missd an obvious pass interference in the end zone in the first half. They missed an illegal crack back on an LSU receiver. They also missed numerous holding calls on LSU offensive line.
It was simply a great defensive SEC game. One for the ages.

There were 2 late hit non-calls. A horrible holding call against LSU. On LSU's interception, they called interference on LSU even though it was not catchable by Auburn, and then reversed their reasoning waiving off the interference by Auburn. It's shameful to have this kind of officiating at this level of play.
