I think its funny that people blame one play call on losing a game or ruining the whole entire season. You people act like its always so easy to just pick up 3 or 4 or 5 yards and that you should score a TD every single time the ball is in the red zone. Guess what? If Bama would have just punched the football in the end zone when they were inside the 5 yard line at home, this wouldn't even be a disucssion right now.

Not every single play call works and if something else had been called there is no guarantee that it would have worked. Its funny how everyone on here can second guess every play call that doesn't work after the fact and say how they would have made a much better play call that surely would have worked.

Say what you will, it was a bad call against someone as savy as Nick Saban. Not saying that cost us the game though, but sure as hell would've helped win it.

Easy to say after the fact. Im sure if the reverse on fourth down to DeAngelo Peterson would not have worked in 2010 you would have been first in line to say what a terrible play call that was...but that one worked...so we don't criticize.

Ok now this I agree with and that is my point. One play call doesn't make or break an entire game. Other plays have to be executed throughout the game. The putrid defense on the last drive had something to do with losing as well. And if you would have told every Tiger fan in that stadium before the game, "LSU will be ahead 17-14, with 1:30 left, Bama will have the football at their own 27 yard line with 0 timeouts left. Every single LSU fan would have taken that in a second...and most of them would have laughed at you and thought you were crazy as well given that most fans thought we would lose by 3 TDs.
