re: Why does Mettenberger get a free pass for the last drive?

You see 6inmylifetime, even though we now know that there is really no such thing as "time", as space and time are one in the same, it still proves useful to view time in the traditional linear sense when dealing with relatively short and small events.

When viewing the final minutes of the game the fact that LSU possessed the ball after Alabama meant that Mettenburger had less time than AJ in which to complete the drive because LSU's possession occurred closer to when the clock read 0:00, signaling the end of the game.

It could prove helpful to create yourself a visual aid. Draw a straight line across a piece of paper. Make three marks on the line, one at the beginning, one in the middle, and one at the end. The one at the beginning represents Alabama's final possession, the middle represents LSU's, and the final dot represents the end of the game. Distance from one dot to the final dot represents the amount of time between the two events. It will now become obvious that Mettenburger had less time than AJ in which to complete his final drive.


And no folding that piece of paper and pulling no wormhole shite either. That's cheating.
