re: Hypothetical Question for Auburn fans - Chizik v. Miles

Because Merlins had a worse team- we had a frickin walk-on playing QB- at an SEC school- a walk-on playing vs LSU. And Chad Jones made one of the best goalline defensive plays I've ever seen

With a walk-on at QB, I'm sure Mullen would have found a way to coach around that, especially in the game's biggest moments, right? Especially with the Dixon/Ducre tandem.

"On the last play, I made a read and saw pressure upfield," Lee said. "I felt like I could knife in the end zone on the inside." Mullen said it appeared the option pitch was open for the score, but that Lee is allowed to make a change in the play. He simply didn't get to the goal line, something LSU always seems able to do in key moments. "When the play was there to be made at the biggest times of the game, they made the play," Mullen said.

So the strategy was put it in the walk-on's hands? Almost identical to the Auburn game.

Here is the final four plays of the drive

1st and Goal at LSU 2 Anthony Dixon rush for 1 yard to the LSU 1.
2nd and Goal at LSU 1 Timeout LSU, clock 01:22.
2nd and Goal at LSU 1 Anthony Dixon rush for no gain to the LSU 1.
3rd and Goal at LSU 1 Timeout LSU, clock 01:14.
3rd and Goal at LSU 1 Tyson Lee pass incomplete, broken up by Chad Jones.
4th and Goal at LSU 1 Tyson Lee rush for no gain to the LSU 1.
