With that said, I refuse to ever blame refs for a loss. I'm sure there were bad calls the other way too. That's why you don't put yourselves in situations to let the refs decide. We had plenty of opportunities but didn't take them. LSU's last TD should've been a INT. Carlson missed a kick. Offense didn't do shite in the second half.

In all fairness, judging by the first quarter stats, Auburn should have never even been in the game.

But that’s why the game is 4 quarters. Anything can happen. A big play can change momentum, a bad call (or no call) here and there (it happens in almost all games), an unfortunate injury.... all these things are part of the game.

The refs were inconsistent. They didn’t favor one team over another and all the calls they made were legitimate calls. My issue is the no calls. There were plenty of legitimate PIs that were not called (on both teams). Then there was the taunting call that we got yet the Auburn player who taunted our QB in his face not 5 minutes earlier was not called. Be realistic about the push in Stidham that extended the drive resulting in a score. It was an extremely ticky tacky call and the “hit to the face mask” was extremely incidental. You also probably should have had a player ejected for targeting on our 2 point conversion play.

But like I said, this is just part of the game. As long as the refs are not favoring one side (and they clearly were not), it is what it is and you have to roll with it.
