you're saying if we put the 7 pts back on the board from Gurley's run, and possibly score on first-and-goal


It doesn't work that way. You can't just say "well if we scored there, and made those 2 field goals, and scored there...we'd have won by 20!!"

Every single play alters the game. If Gurley had scored on that TD run, SC would have then adjusted their gameplan based on the score, the momentum, time left, etc.

And this is exactly why I hate officials and don't trust the majority of them. They can easily change a game outcome.

(which is why I was concerned after the first week of 'high' tackles against the QB of Clemson)

Danke Kapitan Offensichtlich. I don't think anyone said that. We lost by 3. In a game that close any score changes the game. It's illogical, IMHO, to say that those two TDs, or a TD and FG, wouldn't make a very big difference in the outcome. Didn't happen. Maybe those two calls will be in official's minds in later games. Let's move on.

Exactly. There is simply no possible way to figure out how the game would have gone if the calls had been different.

Best scenario. Forget it. It's over. Doesn't matter. Goes as a "W" for South carolina and an "L" for Georgia. We just come off as a bunch of whiney little girls to run around saying we should have won. We didn't.
