Overview

• Cohen said a specifically emphasized rule was not properly enforced and that the miscall gave Oklahoma the lead.
• The SEC’s Sept. 20 statement said officials misread the action as legal and that the play should have drawn a 15-yard team unsportsmanlike penalty from the previous spot.
• Oklahoma’s Isaiah Sategna appeared to head to the sideline before staying in the play, which ESPN rules analyst Matt Austin identified as a hideout tactic.
• Cohen said he and Auburn President Chris Roberts held extensive conversations with Commissioner Greg Sankey and SEC leadership seeking accountability and improved officiating.
• The 24-17 outcome remains unchanged, and coach Hugh Freeze noted several disputed rulings, including a fumble-return touchdown overturned to an incomplete pass on review.
