Unfortunately, this entire play created a giant red herring of an excuse for the entire LSU fanbase regarding this game.

The reality is that LSU managed only 13 first downs, and 253 total yards all night long. Alabama beat LSU by every measurable statistic.

It's not like that INT was going to all of a sudden make LSU's offense suck less than it did.

I don't think anyone disagrees with that; however, it removed any possibility of LSU winning that game. You should know after last year's game that anything can happen, even if an offense hasn't been successful all night

Maybe not, but as the last two LSU/Bama games in Death Valley showed, you really only need one good drive to win a game...

I don't think there was any "cheating" or conspiring" involved by Alabama, because that is kind of ridiculous.

But I do think it was just a bad call by the refs, and they felt that they couldn't overturn it without a shadow of a doubt.

The Micheal Williams play was an incredible play by Reid and was the correct call. The still shots don't show the ball moving around in William's hands while he was hitting the ground.
