When then-No. 22 Texas A&M hosted No. 7 LSU this past weekend, nobody could have predicted the end result. It turned out to be the Game of the Year in college football, culminating in a 74-72 win by Texas A&M in a record seven overtimes.

Texas A&M dominated the first half but was listless for much of the second half. The Aggies looked like they were going to drop yet another regular season finale to the Tigers, but replay came to their rescue twice with under a minute left.

Texas A&M trailed by seven and Kellen Mond appeared to throw an interception that would have effectively ended the game. The LSU players dumped Gatorade on head coach Ed Orgeron to celebrate the win. However, after replay, it was ruled that Mond had actually gone to a knee while trying to field an errant snap. The play should have been blown dead then. After a 10-second runoff, A&M got the ball back.

After clocking the ball, Mond found Kendrick Rogers at the 19-yard line. However, the Aggie receiver was tackled inbounds and the clock continued to run. Texas A&M ran up to the line to spike the ball. However, when Mond did so, the stadium clock said there was no time left. However, replay again overturned things, ruling the Aggies should have had one second left on the clock to run another play.

The rest is history. Mond found Quartney Davis in the endzone on a miracle play to send the game to extra time. Texas A&M eventually won in seven overtimes in what was the highest-scoring game in FBS history.

LSU fans, understandably, weren't exactly happy with some of the calls late in the game. SEC coordinator of officials Steve Shaw spoke with The Montrose Press, though, and gave his thoughts on the calls made on Saturday. Though the game officials have not been completely graded just yet, Shaw says that they called a solid game.

"There has been some narrative out there that this crew really had a bad game,” Shaw told the paper on Tuesday. “We haven’t finished our film grading — by Wednesday night we have all the film grades in.

“But this crew did not have a horrible or bad game, just some tough plays to deal with.”

Shaw specifically broke down a few of the controversial calls:

-He said the crew got it right in ruling that Mond was down before he threw the interception in the fourth quarter.

"He picks up the nose of the ball, which is odd,” Shaw said. “But he got firm control. His knee is down, then he continues to come up.”

-Shaw also says the decision to put one second back on the clock was the correct one, noting that Rogers was tackled with more than three seconds remaining on the clock. Shaw also addressed that some people have said it was an illegal formation when A&M spiked the ball and thus the game should have ended on a penalty.

"If there is 3 or more seconds, he can spike the ball and his team can get another play,” Shaw said. He added that there were not too many A&M men on the line of scrimmage because the players, “must break the waistline of the snapper," to be consider on the line.

-In the first overtime, after LSU was held to a field goal, it looked like Texas A&M tight end Jace Sternberger caught a pass inside the five-yard line. However, it then got away from him. The referees ruled it an incomplete pass instead of a fumble that was recovered by LSU and would have ended the game.

“He begins to catch the ball and he gets hit before he has it tucked away,” Shaw said. “By rule, this is incomplete. He needs to tuck the ball away or make an act common to the game. A football catch. He does not complete the catch.”

-The one play where Shaw might not have 100-percent agreed with the on-field officials was on the final snap of the game. With the score tied and A&M going for two to win it, Mond's pass to Rogers was incomplete. However, LSU cornerback Andraez Williams was called for pass interference. A&M got another shot and Mond found Rogers this time around to secure the win. Shaw did not say it was a wrong call, though.

"The defender jumps the route and there is a slight tug,” Shaw said. “Technically it’s probably pass interference, but in this situation I’d like to see more (before a penalty is called). Process the play longer."

Williams was also called for a second penalty on the play for arguing. Having already thrown his flag, the referee threw his hat for that penalty.

“Unfortunately the official didn’t carry two flags and threw the hat, and I didn’t like the look of that," Shaw said. "But from the dialog between the player and official, the foul was warranted.”
