re: Let's take a look at Bama v. LSU since 2007

quote:

---

Jeremy Shelley who managed to miss 3 first half FGs and the final dagger in OT

Foster missed the two first quarter kicks and the OT kick. Shelley had one in the second quarter blocked.

quote:

Nick Saban's worst team gave LSU all they could handle, true. But you failed to mention that Les Miles worst team took the undefeated #1 ranked Tide into overtime as well.

---

True, but why was Saban's worst team his first team, but the worst team for Miles his fourth?

quote:

---

2008 - We led most of the game until the 4th quarter, then had chance to score in OT until Lee's INT.

---

False. Bama tied the game 14-14 with 4:33 left in the second quarter and never trailed again.

---

Then, on bama's tying FG drive, Cooper clearly traps a pass in LSU territory (the slo mo replays and the announcers showed the ball was moving.)

---

First, it was Christion Jones. He caught the ball and Bama ran to the line to spike the ball because they were out of timeouts, like any team in that situation. CBS didn't show a replay until after the spike. Gary asked if he caught it, but you couldn't tell from the angle. He then said "Doesn't matter because the next play was snapped, it was over." Didn't show it again.

Before Miles gets a chance to throw a challenge flag,

Have you ever watched a college game? That's the NFL. In college you call a timeout to challenge.

2012 hurt more Bc it would've knocked Bama out from the NC

Not necessarily. Bama was undefeated at that point. A loss to LSU might cause them to come out focused for A&M and not trail 20-0 after one quarter.
