Why is he being given a pass on the fact that he let a WR throw the ball at such a crucial time in the game? Or have I just missed that talk?
You missed it because it hasn't happened. It was a great play call and Williams was wide open. Unfortunately, the guy off the edge got in Maze's grill and made him loft the ball too much, allowing the space for the DB to get over there and make the play of the game.
The same exact play was a TD against Florida last year, and would have been a TD again this year if not for the pressure.

Bama's line should have blocked better.

That def happened.

If it was Miles calling this play, everyone would be saying what a moron he is for calling such a risky play this late in a tied game. But since it was The Great and Powerful Saban making the call, it was a very good call, and it would have worked if LSU's defense didn't pick up on it quickly.

That's a HUGE if...and one that Saban should have considered knowing the talant level of LSU's dline (not to mention the awesomeness of LSU's DBs) and the gimpiness of his WR. I'm glad he made that play call.

Wait, what?
You mean that LSU actually had something to do with a Bama play not going perfectly?
Seriously?
No way.

That's exactly why you don't call that play. There is additional risk involved. In a game that tight, did Bama really need a trick play...from that point on the field?

Might want to read more articles. He is catching it. 1-and-10 from the 28 and Richardson had found a grove....tied game....you chose a wr to throw a pass to a player who has what 12 receptions all season.
Epic fail. On the 28 it was four down territory....you run Richardson 4 times at that point in the game he was going to get 10 yards.
