But we have to look at the law of averages. LSU was running for 4 yds per. 3 plays from the 6? Yeah...I like LSU's chances. So did the refs...





If you went by averages LSU would have never went 3 and out on the previous 2 drives, and you would have scored on every single drive.

Law of averages? That's some funny stuff right there.

Well Bama should have been ahead 17-10 (if not for a no call on blatant PI, on D white earlier in the end zone ) so at best that td, which lsu wouldn't have gotten, would have been for a tie. Bama should've won in regulation but the refs bailed out LSU multiple times throughout the game.

better question is, How much time would bama have had if that PF was not called? Would they have had enough time to get into field goal range?

They called a TO immediately after the play regardless. It didn't make a difference in the final time.

LSU wouldn't have scored a TD, but being closer I bet they run more legit running plays attempting to score that bleed 4-5 total seconds off the clock. The call shifted lsu into a defensive mode that they never turned back around.

Offense defense and special teams all failed to execute in the last minute while Bama did their job to an absolute T. That was the difference in the game.

That and Bama's punter preventing LSU from capitalizing on their defensive performance to gain a field position advangate. The dude was killer, and was easily Bama's mvp.

Go back and look if you don't believe it. But winners don't bitch about bad calls. Only losers do.

they might not have and i don't like talking about subjective things.

I do not think bama would have had enough time to score had that PF not been called. Bad kickoff and all.

Yes for the call itself but would have started again on the ready for play had Bama not taken a tomeout. In that situation saban was standing with the side judge to call timeouts after every play to preserve time.

Bama has to have all 3 timeouts left for anything to make a dofference. That means never having a single communication breakdown and having to use a timeout early in a tight game. It's really impressive.

Probably not. Heres a question for you. If the ref doesn't miss the blatant hack job on deandrew white on the second play of the tieing drive, do we score a td instead of a field goal? It took like 10-12 seconds of the clock to get back to that position on the field. Or how about if you don't get handed an unforced fumble on the six yard line? Or how about if we score a td on that drive with the other big pi against white, hand holding in the endzone, instead of no points? Lots of things happen in closer games that are then blown out of proportion after the fact. Ive yet to see an lsu fan say the leon brown call in ot was questionable, which it 100% was based on how they called the rest of the game and the fact that the whistle had not blown. We get 20 yards in penalties from the 1 yard line in ot, yet the refs were trying to give us the game?

Personal foul or unsportsmanlike conduct?

Would DeAndrew White have scored a TD had he not been held in the end zone?

The PF, if LSU had ANY imagination on Offense, could have been a blessing in disguise. Bama had three time outs. From the six, you likely run the ball three times, Bama calls all time outs, you kick (or score and Bama saves a time out) and then you give Bama the ball back (like what actually happened).

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.

At some point stop blaming the refs and look at your coaches.

Strategically, the PF made no difference in the game. After Yeldon's fumble, LSU had to accomplish one of two things: get a TD or get a FG while forcing Bama to use all of their TOs. They did the latter, so the drive was a success.

The PF certainly hurt mentally, considering the PTSD recent LSU teams have in dealing with Bama. For that call to not be offsetting certainly put the team in a "here we go again" mode.

Strategically, the more costly officiating mistake was the missed illegal motion call on the first play of overtime. Since illegal motion does not stop the play, it's not hard to assume that everything that happened on the play would have happened anyway. So, simply throwing the flag there puts Bama at 1st and 15 at the 30 instead of 1st & goal at the 1. Then add in the PF at the end of that play, and Bama could have easily been 1st and 30 at the 45 on the second play in overtime.

That's a big difference, and we would have witnessed a classic Saban sideline meltdown.

Oh well, the officials didn't cost us the game. Poor defense on the last regulation drive did.

Do you think Wisconsin would've won if their coaches would've given Gordon the ball?


If Treon Harris starts instead of Driskel, does Florida win the east?

No. But it wouldn't have mattered. Bama would have tied it with a TD. Because of the "1 minute left and Chavis" strategy LSU loves to use on D.

LSU pounded away...ran and ran and ran..but never broke that defense. I don't think they could run it in.
