If Sankey has authority to select the crew and chooses to send Autrey he should be examined, diagnosed and relieved of his duties. There's no way he could of sound mind set the SEC up for the blowback for the ineptitude that crew has displayed over the years.Man, the officiating will be the controversy of the game, especially if it is Jason Autrey...
Maybe that will embarrass Sankey enough to do something about it for a change.
Beyond that, I'm not 100% sure he'll get drafted.
It is a game I do not look on fondly at all.
Please tell me it is Autrey's crew and let the game end in controversy. Like get a call so wrong that it is questioned for years. Like 5th down bad but worse.
No such luck wrt Autrey, but they all suck, so...
still want it to end on a bad call
And ending like the VT/Miami game would be hilarious!
I mean, I just looked it up - he wasn't in the top 100 receivers in 2023 or 2024 - why on earth would he declare?
Hubris
Interesting David Smith as the Alternate Official. He usually serves as a referee on his own crew during the season.
That must not have been the case two years ago when Jason Autrey was assigned too the semifinal game between TCU and Meatchicken...
Sadly, the NIL and transfer portal are causing fans to lose interest in individual players, which in time will affect the players NIL value.
I was raised to be a ND fan bc I was raised Catholic, but once I was old enough to realize how the college football world allows them to do whatever they want and that rules are always in their favor I quickly jumped off that wagon.
NIL has nothing to do with fan appreciation. It is pay for play. It will strangle itself, but not because the fans don't like it. The power brokers in this sport do not care a whit about the fans.
