LSU ran the kickoff back to the Georgia 40

I'm not making any excuses, just talking football here, but don't you think if we kicked off 15 yards closer to midfield that would've altered LSU's return? Sure, you returned it to the 40 because you caught it already with good position. If we kick it out of the endzone and you start from the 20, things are probably a little different.

saying that penalty cost you the game is incorrect.

True, that penalty is not why we lost. We lost because our defense stunk on ice.

However, anybody with reasonable intelligence will realize that it was a major, massively important swing in the game's final outcome. And it's made worse by the fact that it was head scratchingly, mind numbingly bogus.
