ETA: Some commentary

Les speaketh:
quote:

After the game, LSU coach Les Miles was in disbelief about the penalty on Hitt, reacting calmly at first but becoming more and more animated each time he was asked about it. “I’m only telling you what I saw. I saw a guy lifting him up off the ground. It was pretty obvious,” Miles said. “It was (Bowman) laying (and he) would not get up off the ball and off of the (player). And he tried to create a time issue for the spotting of the ball. And so Lyle picked him up, tried to help him up off the ground. He didn’t hit him, pound him to the ground. He didn’t jump on him. And it was pretty clear. “And so I figured, when the flag was thrown, it was going to be an interesting call.”

Another one for the archives. Too bad it was not SEC officials, it would be all over the news how bad the SEC officiating is.

Arrakis this is just another example of a LSU team prepared by Miles. Head up their asses with nowhere to look. Refs make mistakes but to hear so many of our fan base to point fingers at the mediators only reinforces that our fan base is in complete denial about a Les Miles football program.

frick the Capitol One and those refs. I hope we don't go there again even if they do get new turf.

Should have been offsetting penalties with time added onto the clock.

Please. If he was trying to help him up, how come he just pulled him off the pile and flung him to the side. PSU player was still on the ground. If Lyle was so interested in helping him up, why let him on the ground again?


Call was correct

Legit call to be honest. Two things make it so.

1) You don't ever drag a player up, particularly by the leg and jersey, and especially after the official warns you to stop it.

2) LaFell made no major effort to get up from under Bowman. It's stupid, but if he acts like he is struggling to get up, and Bowman isn't moving it forces the ref to call the delay penalty. Since LaFell just sat there, it made it not as big a deal.

I may be wrong on this but the guy who was on top of Lafell wasn't even on top of him as the play ended. When the camera is panning away he was on the side of Lafell and was rolling to get on top of him.
