Whether or not anyone thinks that Lsu could have or should have beaten alabama is not the point. The point is that Lsu was deprived of an opportunity to try to score, an opportunity that they clearly earned on the field of play but was denied them by an inept, or possibly biased official that could not see what millions of others saw. And add that to at least 4 other calls/no calls in alabamas favor, and any fair minded person has to admit that the officiating could have influenced the outcome of that game.

Bama-LSU. Baton Rouge. 2004. Non-call in LSU's favor. We were deprived of the chance to go up two scores.

I'd say it evened out.
