I appreciate the support for LSU, but your statemet makes no sense. If you think the PSU player had bad intentions as even he admitted, how in the hell can you say that the LSU player desereved the flag. At the very least the PSU player should have been flagged for delay of game, but more acurately a personal foul for unsportsman like conduct. Even he thought he should have been flagged.

I think the PSU player did have bad intentions. The LSU player got the flag because he was forceful with another player after the play was blown dead. Anytime refs see a ruckus they're going to be focused on that. I honestly believe the refs would have made the call against PSU if LSU had just lined up for the next play. Unfortunately, the incident left the refs no choice. JMO

They could have called offsetting pentalties...but I agree...Play was over and players can't pull other players around.

He had all the choice in the world. The penalty should have been called the moment the ref noticed. "When in doubt it is a foul". Everyone knew what was going on.. I think the ref fudged it accidently.
