Did North Carolina defensive back Marcus Allen get robbed of an interception in the first quarter against Clemson?
Allen appeared to intercept Cade Klubnik in the end zone when he snatched the ball away from Clemson wide receiver Bryant Wesco Jr. Wesco got his hands on the ball as the two fell to the ground out of the back of the end zone but Allen appeared to retain control the entire time. Take a look.
Officials conferred after the play and didn’t call it an interception or a touchdown catch. Instead, they agreed the pass was incomplete even though the ball never hit the ground.

The play was quickly reviewed by the ACC’s replay command center, though the call on the field was upheld with no further explanation. Saturday’s game on ESPN was not one of the ACC games with a live look into the review process for fans, so those watching on TV were unable to hear why the call on the field wasn’t changed to an interception.
ESPN rules analyst Jerry McGinn said on the broadcast that it was clear to him that Allen had control of the ball with his foot down in the end zone. After the play was upheld, McGinn speculated that officials determined that no player had clear control of the ball when Allen and Wesco were out of bounds.

North Carolina trailed 21-3 when the play happened and instead of getting the ball at the 20-yard line via a touchback, Clemson retained possession. And sure enough, the Tigers scored four plays later for a 25-point lead.

Bears mailbag: How can T.J. Edwards, Kyler Gordon help the run defense?
This week presented a potentially tricky scenario for Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson in terms of pregame motivation tactics.Last year was last year. Johnson wasn’t here. This is a new staff and a new team. There’s no reason for him to shoulder the burden of the Hail Mary that began the avalanche for the 2024 Bears.AdvertisementThen again, how can players walk into Northwest Stadium on Monday night and not let what happened cross their minds?A few questions in this week’s mailbag focused on the narratives surrounding the Bears’ return to Landover, Md. I highly recommend colleague Dan Wiederer’s story on Tyrique Stevenson as you get ready for the Monday night matchup.Johnson, predictably, had little to say publicly about what this game might mean.“You’d have to talk to those guys about it,” he said Tuesday. “We’re a new team.

Auburn-Georgia officiating was a mess. But it wasn’t the only reason the Tigers lost
AUBURN, Ala. — Some booed. Other Auburn fans chose more emotive ways of showing their displeasure as the SEC officiating crew left the field through a corner tunnel at Jordan-Hare Stadium on Saturday night.One Auburn fan leaned over the railing, waved his middle finger and yelled. Another cupped his hands and shouted invective. Another sarcastically clapped and shouted “good job.”AdvertisementWhen the game ended seconds earlier, there was a smattering of boos among the fans still around. The hearts and minds of those fans couldn’t be immediately read, but it’s a good bet they weren’t booing their team, even though it had lost a ninth straight game to rival Georgia, 20-10. It’s a decent bet they weren’t even booing coach Hugh Freeze, owner of a losing record in his two-plus years as Auburn’s coach, whose team had control of the game […]
