re: LSU gets destroyed by UGA in the SEC Championship

Did LSU really get destroyed? LSU out gained Georgia and averaged more YPP than Georgia. Georgia couldn't stop our passing game, and LSU couldn't stop Georgia on 3rd down.

Look Georgia is the MUCH better team. But if you take away the blocked punt return for a touchdown the game is 33-43. That goofy bonk off the helmet 3 bounce interception giving UGA 7 pts. Could've had the games final at 33-36. UGA also had a goal line stop on 4th down. Had we converted on 4th and 1 for a TD it could've been a 36-36 or 40-36 type of game. Of course that's a lot of what ifs. But it's also 2 fluke plays and you could never count on to happen in a game. Obviously the game looks differently from a playcall perspective had those plays gone differently, but to say LSU got destroyed is downplaying just how hard LSU pushed UGA for 4 quarters.
