Also, really stupid comment. That botched fake FG couldn't have had less of an impact on the game. Bama immediately went 3 and out after the fake field goal attempt and LSU got the ball back and drove down the field again.
How does that make it a stupid comment? We tried a fake field goal with Alleman that gave Bama the ball at the 33. I would imagine Drew is 50/50 from that range. The chance of getting a first down there on that play has to be under 5% on 4th and 12 with a play designed in to give the ball to the kicker in the backfield.
So the defense forces them 3 and out, and we get the ball back at the 9. We drive down the field all the way to the 37 and kick a longer field goal on 4th and 4 (with a miss) - a fake field goal would have made sense there. Just going for it would have made more
We took away an opportunity to put points on the board, and it flipped the field position on us. Would you agree that it is a lot harder to score from your own 9 than your own 40?
It also ignores the wildcat on 4th and 1 then taking the ball out of Metts hand on 3rd down at the end of the game. We were conservative when the situation called for aggressiveness, and we were aggressive when we should have been conservative. Then we went to the other extreme against Clemson and threw the ball twice on 2nd and 3rd down with 2 yards to go.

It is a stupid comment because you are just making stuff up. In his LSU career, Drew Alleman was 0/4 from FGs of 50+ yards. If the line of scrimmage is the 33 yard line, that would make it a 50 yard field goal attempt.
So your comment that trying a fake field goal, as opposed to attempting a 50 yard FG with a kicker that NEVER once made a FG in his entire career that was 50+ yards, against Bama cost us winning a National Championship is really stupid.
