Somehow, when our team wins, we block out the close plays that go our way but could have easily gone the other way and resulted in a crucial loss.

For A&M, it happened in Oxford.

4th & Very Short, late in the game, and all Hugh Freeze had to do was call for a QB sneak under center or run a RB power play to pick up the short yardage.

Instead, he calls a play out of the shotgun formation, and it gets stuffed behind the line of scrimmage for the turnover on downs.

Ole Miss getting a first down there = victory over A&M, and the SEC West could have been drastically different.

Aggies don't dwell much on how close that play was to changing the season.

What other SEC teams are ignoring plays from the 2012 season when forecasting their prospects for 2013? What close 2012 plays are there that, had they gone differently, would have really changed fortunes in either the SEC West or SEC East?

Doesn't apply to the Hogs. All of our wins were blowouts

eta: actually one team kept it close with the hogs

I was very surprised at that point and VERY upset due to our six turnovers.

It was technically a "chop block" ... LSU player was supposedly under the influence of block #1 when he got blocked below the waist by Joeckel. Could have gone either way, and total momentum swing.

But you can't expect Louisianans to remember such a fine point of play. They "demolished" A&M.

Still incapable of higher-level discussion, I see. Never change, LSU.

It was ambiguous.

But more importantly, it wasn't needed to score, which is frustrating. The TD was brought back by a penalty that didn't even contribute to the play. Sucky.
