I disagree.

Your best "runner" is Ridley. You're best "passer" is Lee.

Why in the frick at the most critical time in the game do you go with what you do 2nd best? It was a horrible call.

I don't care if it brought the option back into play, thats not what LSU does best. When the game is on the line, you do what you do best, you don't try and out-think you're opponent, unless that is all you have (ala Boise State vs OU in Fiesta).

that wasn't really a bad call (although I wouldn't have made it), not having him armed with a second play though, was horrendous

ANY QB worth his salt KNOWS what the next play is in that situation. If the run play doesn't work, line up IMMEDIATELY and spike the ball. The number of downs is not the limiting factor at that point, the time is. He shouldn't even have to worry about what the coaches want to call at that point.

I also noticed earlier that the sidelines are still waiting too long to call timeouts. They lose 5-10 seconds almost every time.
