One of the plays that set up the now fourth-and-31 in the Iron Bowl was a mistimed snap from center Seth McLaughlin to quarterback Jalen Milroe.
On second down, Milroe didn't look ready for the snap and had to scramble backward to recover the football. He fell on it for a loss of 18 yards. That was a big part why Alabama had such a long distance to go on fourth down.
Auburn safety Zion Puckett can be seen on film clapping right before McLaughlin snaps it.
A reporter asked Nick Saban if he saw that, with the reporter adding it looked like an Auburn defender clapped to draw McLaughlin into snapping the ball.
"First of all, the defense is not allowed to clap if that's what you're using as a cadence," Saban said. "If what you say actually occurred, and I did see the film, then that's ... I'm not criticizing the officiating, but I am saying that's supposed to be a penalty.".
