After the personal foul, you could have gotten a first down without scoring, thus forcing Bama to exhaust their timeouts and putting LSU in position to score with no time on the clcok.



Nope. Since the personal foul was after the first down play, the down and line to gain does not reset. The next play was 2d & Goal from the 21. Once we ran the first play, we could not run the clock out without Bama getting called for an automatic first down penalty.

Lots of LSU fans have wondered why Bama didn't have 1st and goal from the 16 in overtime, but regarding down and distance, they were both applied correctly.
