re: Can LSU Defeat Alabama a Second Time?

Most people remember Alabama's missed field goals during regulation and use that as the excuse for the loss. However, the two Alabama kickers were not the reason the team lost since two of the three regulation misses came from 49 and 50 yards out.

This is the most underreported fact in all of college football this year.

There are some professional NFL kickers who have missed from that distance in games of much less significance (well at least we all thought the Nov5th game was significant at the time).

Not only was it a college kicker, those are just plain long field goals. If you don't have a grade A kicker, punt it or go for it unless it's the end of the game.
