re: 270 yards passing is why A&M lost!

We can settle this easily. Let's look at the 3rh quarter play-by-play from ESPN starting AFTER Minter's interception.

The score: 14-12 (arse beating)

LSU takes the interception to their own 40. The drive stalls at the A&M 37. Field goal misses.

A&M takes over at their own 37 and the drive stalls at the LSU 49. Punt

LSU takes over at the LSU 6. 3rd and 5 at the LSU 11. End of Quarter.

Still 14-12

LSU punt to the LSU 48

A&M takes over at the LSU 48. Drive stalls at the LSU 34. 52 yard field goal attempt misses.

LSU takes over at the LSU 34. 13:32 left in the game.... STILL 14-12. (out of reach, I tell ya) LSU drives the length of the field to the A&M 11. Stalls. Field goal good.

Score 17-12 with 8:35 left in the game (oh boy. it's over now).

Trey williams takes the kickoff back 76 yards to the LSU 16. Drive stalls at the LSU 14. 33 yard field goal MISSES.

7:33 left in the game. 17-12 (arse beating)

LSU gets the ball at the LSU 20 and the drive stalls at the LSU 46.

Still 17-12 with 4:55 left in the game.

A&M gets punt. Touchback. Start at the 20. Intercepted and returned to the A&M 47.

Still 17-12 with 3:20 left in the game. (it's over. Done. arse beating)

LSU breaks off a 47 yard td run.

24-12 with 3:12 left in the game. (no chance in hell A&M can come back here. This is garbage time).

A&M score to make it 24-19 with 1:55 left in the game. Key feature of this drive. the biggest play was from the LSU 32 to the LSU 5. WHY IN THE frick WAS YOUR TEAM IN PREVENT INSIDE YOUR OWN 40? That's simply bullshite. You were not in prevent, or if you were, fire that DC RIGHT NOW.

So, with 1:55 left in the game 24-19. A&M has NO CHANCE. It's a total blowout. Because no team has EVER got the onside kick and scored in 2 minutes. Especially not this type of offense.

Please tell me which points or stats didn't matter? Explain why your DC was in fricking prevent with 3:20 left in the game. (he wasn't. that's bullshite).
