Kirby Smart doubles down on his stance regarding controversial timeout signal against Auburn
The officials stopped play before a third down with 12:10 remaining in the fourth quarter. Kirby Smart had been trying to get the officialâs attention and pushed his hands together.

why can’t he just admit what we see. Doesn’t mean he wasn’t thinking clapping the whole time but instinctively used the TO signal in error
Here’s my take: Who cares? It in noway affected the game despite what Freeze said. Freeeze’s attitude after the goal line debacle was bush league at best.
I would just like to say to all our AU friends out there that there's no reason to feel down just because your season ended on October 11th.
I watched a video where the safety started clapping and Kirby moves immediately telling the ref. It lends credence to kirby's argument. When I first saw it, I couldn't believe Kirby was lying on national tv, but after seeing the clip, it appears he was truthful.
I don’t get why this is getting so much attention. It had no bearing on the score or the outcome of the game. Nothing to see here. Move along, move along.
Because its a slow news day and Connor has space to fill.
The safety was clapping.
And in Kirby's mind, he very may well have been thinking "he's clapping." But his hands were saying "time out." Probably just out of habit. Should have been charged a TO. No big deal. Mistakes happen. Like Gunnar not sliding at the end of the game (another of Connor's highlights) which KS was quick to point out.
It didn't matter since the refs gave AU an immediate make-up call and we punt.
But the officiating was terrible all game long. And that crew, by allowing Kirby to talk them out it, despite what everyone in the stadium and on TV saw, set a bad precedent for all officials going forward.
Maybe the refs should have done their job and noticed the high safety clapping.
****, Smart, the film don't lie.
As he's running and accidently throwing up the T, you can see him... read his lips. He never once says timeout, he's consistently saying "they're clapping". But he should address the fact that he had the timeout sign going, and we should've been charged a timeout. Other then that, it had no bearing on the game. And btw, it was clearly a fumble. Figure out how to do it 4 quarters Kirby, this is year 3 of not playing for 4 quarters. Tighten up, you're either ELITE or you're NOT.

Move on to Ole Miss.
Why did the ref call a "blindside block" on Cash after he laid the defender out. How is this a penalty? Looked pretty legal.
Really appreciate you doing this… it's what Lisa and I thought we saw, but was so bang-bang, we thought we missed it. Looks clean to us!
All in all it was what we have grown to expect with SEC officiating…p i t i f u l
I have posted this over and over on these channels but some on here, for whatever reason, seem to suddenly hate Cash. They blame him for the awful 4th down call and the terrible blocking on the play and everything else. It is crazy and it is just plain $tupid. It is not the blocker’s responsibility to announce his intent to block. It behooves the defender to pay attention. And then there are those that say the block was unnecessary. Yeah, yeah it was. Pay attention.
Thanks for the very clear evidence that some people do not understand the game of football.
