re: Make the Call: Most Controversial LSU Football loss you witnessed

There were a few what ifs with Auburn but the Miss St game in 1999 the last time they beat us was garbage. They didn't have replay and let the touchdown stand.


Remember that vividly. The MSU player literally crawled into the endzone from the one yard line. Never could find the replay of this game though.

This one, to me. The State RB should have been down (and it was obvious). Wasn't it also 4th down and/or the final play of the game, too? It's what separates that game from most others; on most of these you can claim "homer" or something, saying we'd drive to win when it wasn't 100% guaranteed. The Miss St game, they were given the winning points on a terrible blown call, or we WOULD have won.

More controversy came with the coaching in the Ohio St series in the 80s: we threw an INT in the redzone late, when all we needed was the kick to win.
Next year, we were up 7 late and had to punt. Worst that could happen was a block or runback and tie, right? NO, we took the intentional safety (and shrunk the margin), then punted, and the Buckeyes drove down for the win. I remember crying in anger afterwards, probably the last time in my life I actually cried
