How many of you honestly felt confident that he would lead us down the field for a score with less than a minute and no timeouts? Be honest.

I felt like they could do it. I even felt ok with AG kicking the FG.

I'll be honest. I've defended Blake all year, but I had zero confidence we would drive down the field.

A small part of me felt that way. I kinda dismissed that as me being stupidly optimistic. I kept hoping and cheering though. If it could happen in 2012, why not now? And by God, it did.

I thought we were done
Of course I thought we were done in 2012 also

I was confident he'd get them in field goal range, was worried it wouldn't be close enough for Griffith to make it.
2 minute offense has been some of the best called and executed plays this year.

Sitting in the upper deck, I wanted to puke when Yeldon fumbled. I'll say this though, not that I was confident in either situation, but 2012 was more of a shocker because we couldn't do anything in the second half of that one, and we didn't have amari Cooper.
I still can't beleive we did it again. Heres to hoping this season ends with the same end result as 2012

Honestly, I believed. I had no reason too, but I did. Wife was a nervous wreck though.

He has done it before against Ole Miss. I didn't fear he wouldn't be able to move the ball.
I feared if he would be able to move it close enough and what our kicker would do with the opportunity.

I was sure we were gonna lose when it came down to that. Thought it'd be a repeat of the Ole Miss drive.

When Yeldon fumbled, I resigned myself to defeat. When we got the quick stop on D, then the kick-off out-of-bounds, I felt like we had new life. Was more worried about executing on a FG attempt than I was on getting into range at that point.

I feel more comfortable with two minutes to go than the previous 58.

I thought we were dead because of our usual clock management issues and getting plays it. After the kick out of bounds I still had that feeling. When Griffith made the field goal though I knew we'd win the game. I even predicted Cyrus would make up for not looking back on their earlier TD. Watching with a house full of Auburn fans made the end result even better

I thought we were toast until the kickoff out of bounds, then I got a glimmer of hope back. Once we lined up for the FG, I felt strangely confident Adam would hit it even though he's been in a slump. Still can't believe we stole that one!

When Yeldon fumbled, I was putting this in the loss column.
When LSU kicked off out of bounds, I started to get my hopes up.
I actually thought Bama was going to go ahead and kick the long FG when there were 12 seconds left before the sideline pass to White. So glad they took the shot to get closer.
When Griffith was waiting on the snap, I could barely watch.

Like some here, I thought we were done until the kickoff out of bounds.
As we started the drive, I had a feeling we were gonna get in range for a long(55-58 yds) field goal. I actually though Griffin would redeem himself and make it(Van Tiffenesque).
When we lined for short one, I saw the angle and got really nervous.

yep, same here.
I had a decent amount of confidence when we got the ball back with 50 seconds. I had been in that situation already once before. I was in Tiger Stadium in 2012, and when they completed that last pass to OBJ before they went 3 and FG miss, I had counted us out.
This time I had some faith.

I did not believe. For the sake of comparison, though, I did not believe we'd win in 2012 either. Neither QB had shown any ability to move the team well in either game.

Two years ago when LSU scored late to get the lead, I lost it. Said screw it and went to bed. Stayed in bed (essentially during the three minute commercial break), got back up to see if AJ could get it done. When he hit those passes to Norwood, I had no doubt that we'd win.
I did some cussing after Yeldon's fumble, but stayed up through the drive because I felt that Blake was gonna do it. So happy for him and the whole team.

After the Yeldon fumble I said "that's game". I was counting it a loss already. Once they kicked it out of bounds that's when things got interesting. I thought it was about 50/50 that Blake would make enough plays to give us a shot.
My hope came back in stages. When we hit Jones for the long gain I knew we'd at least get a chance for Griffith to take a shot. To me his kick was the most tense moment of this season so far and I didn't really think he'd put it through. Just getting to OT felt like a win.
After that long pass down the seam in OT I knew we were going to put it away... then the penalty. Luckily we held it together, but I knew we would show out in overtime. LSU was shook at that point.
