Alabama fan creates petition claiming Chris Davis stepped out of bounds, demands overtime

Auburn's miracle touchdown during the Iron Bowl was extremely difficult for Alabama fans to accept, but one fan believes the Crimson Tide were cheated out of overtime.

 A petition was created claiming that Chris Davis stepped out of bounds during his game winning touchdown, and demands an overtime to be played in order to determine a correct winner of the 2013 Iron Bowl. 

The petition reads: 

"Chris Davis from Auburn was clearly out of bounds in running the missed field goal back for a touchdown in the 2013 Iron Bowl. There was way to much riding on this game for that to have been missed- a SEC Championship and National Championship. I think they should put together an overtime play for Auburn and Alabama. Yes, I know how impossible that sounds and how much trouble it will be BUT sometimes you have to make wrongs RIGHT and with so much riding on that game the SEC and NCAA needs to make it right for the players, university, fans, coaches, SEC and SPORTS in general. And if they don't like the hassel then go out and make sure your employees, the refs, are not making such HUGE mistakes. And the refs needs to be punished for not even reviewing the play because it wasn't even close- he was CLEARLY out of bounds. Its not fair to say that this is over and overtime can't be played now just because of how much trouble this would be to put together. It was wrong....and you need to make it right regardless of the hassel. 
SEC and NCAA- do the right thing and make this right for everyone involved!!"

The petition appeared on change.organd was addressed to both NCAA Football and the SEC Commissioner. An image was also included which suggests that Davis stepped out of bounds.
