Ole Miss wide receiver Laquon Treadwell left Saturday night's loss to Auburn after suffering gruesome injury to his lower left leg while fighting to cross the goal line for a potential go-ahead touchdown.
Not only did the Rebels see their star, who led the team with 10 catches for 103 yards and a touchdown, leave the game in pain, but a subsequent review of the play showed that Treadwell fumbled the ball in the end zone with an Auburn player recovering the loose ball.Treadwell caught a screen pass with 1:30 left to play and was pulled down from behind just as he was about to cross the goal line. The play was originally ruled a touchdown, appearing to give the Rebels the lead. The call was overturned after a video review and ruled a fumble, with a recovery by Auburn.Ole Miss lost 35-31 and, likely, has been eliminated from the college football playoff race.
Terrible fortune for a promising young receiver. That was Ole Miss’ second fumble inside the Auburn 10 in the 4th quarter.
