Quite frankly the Alabama folks got it right. He stepped out of bounds, and I think Alabama handles Auburn easily in OT. Not shocked at all the Cow College got some home cooking there at the end.
I have no idea what game you were watching, but he wasn't even close to being able to debate him going out of bounds.
Really, they've only showed the replay about 2000 times and it wasn't that close. Stevie Wonder could see he never went out of bounds.
