Did anyone else notice the extra down Auburn was given?

It doesn't matter regardless because they scored their 2nd TD on what should have been 4th down, but they still had 3rd down on the field and on TV.

but assumed i was just distracted. apparently not. now that i check the play by play:

<table border="0" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr id="play" class="bg2" align="right" valign="middle"> <td class="bg3" align="left">1-0-AL8</td> <td class="bg3" align="left">(7:35) Ben Tate rushed for 6 yards.</td> </tr> <tr id="play" class="bg2" align="right" valign="middle"> <td class="bg3" align="left">2-0-AL2</td> <td class="bg3" align="left">(7:00) Ben Tate rushed for 1 yard.</td> </tr> <tr id="play" class="bg2" align="right" valign="middle"> <td class="bg3" align="left">3-0-AL1</td> <td class="bg3" align="left">(6:20) Ben Tate rushed for no gain.</td> </tr> <tr id="play" class="bg2" align="right" valign="middle"> <td class="bg3" align="left">4-0-AL1</td> <td class="bg3" align="left">(5:42) Touchdown. Chris Todd passed to Eric Smith for 1 yard.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table>

Auburn wasn't given a 1st down on the penalty (from the position of the chains on the sideline) and Tate's 6-yard run was not a 1st down play, but was a play that got Auburn 1st and goal from the 2. Todd's TD pass was actually on 3rd down.</p>
