Thoughts on the game from in the stadium

quote:

---

The second call the corner was looking back at the ball and playing the ball. Don't know how you can call PI.

---

Ok, now what was the corners arms doing?

quote:

---

On the last drive, the first PI call the ref threw the flag before the ball was even thrown so I don't know how it was PI. Maybe holding or something that I wasn't watching but not PI. 

---

At a minimum holding might be right on not PI

The second call the corner was looking back at the ball and playing the ball. Don't know how you can call PI. Both the corner and the WR have a equal opportunity to go after the ball. 

---

CB held LSU WR arm down and got caught

1st call - the db hooked the wr so it could have been holding early in the route

The 2nd - the db held down the right arm of the wr

PI all the way

So you don’t want to talk about the fact that the refs missed a clear fumble?

Also- Aranda made changes in the second half to offset your rpo plays by running White at the center causing the holdings. You didn’t beat yourself, you just plain got beat

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.

Grabbed the receivers hips out of the break completely stopping momentum, definitely holding. Should have been 10 not 15 but still a penalty with automatic first down

WR had two hands, DB has to let him use both or it’s a penalty. Pretty simple

Auburn fans that were in the stadium will chill if/when they go home and watch the replay. They were “mislead” by the Auburn replay video operator in the 4th quarter.

There could be an argument for holding instead of pass interference on the throw down the middle on the final LSU drive (depends if ball was already in air or not), but either way it results in an LSU first down... As Gary Danielson said “Absolutely. That’s a great call by the official there. It wasn’t at the end of the play that the crowd is looking at, it was early in the route.” The fans in the stadium were not shown the clear and blatant hold.

The second PI to put LSU in FG range was textbook PI. I’m sure everyone has seen the picture by now. As Danielson said, “Yep, no question on that one ... that’s just undiciplined football... you can’t allow that to happen, he’s grabbing him the whole way. He’s holding down his right arm.”

Negative. Watched it this morning. He was still covered by the guy who tackled him. Ball was recovered a few yards behind him. LSU player came up with the ball. Go look.
