re: What if LSU not been screwed on that last play?

What about #7 getting tackled at the goal line while the ball was going over his head? He was getting mugged. Should have been off setting penalties and play an untimed down. (IF the play had counted, which it shouldn't have, because...)

Holy hell...#7 was on his feet facing the back of the Endzone with both of his forearms buried in the belly of the auburn defender pushing him while the auburn defender was facing the ball and had jumped with both of his hands up trying to make a play on the ball. You were right that there was a mugging, #7 was the perp. There were too many penalties against LSU on that play to count them all. None of that matters, of course, because the game was over before he ever snapped the ball
