The crowd has the ability to amplify momentum swings as well as manufacture small amounts of momentum out of basically nothing. I have seen games where LSU was struggling and behind, desperately needing a defensive stop. The crowd gets amped up (out of no where) during a timeout, and suddenly, the defense comes up huge. The offense comes back on the field fired up and starts dominating the other team. In the State game, I got the feeling that they came so far, so close, that just a little push, just a little extra energy could have made the difference. The stadium was the most electric I've ever seen for such a sparse crowd. I can only imagine how crazy it would have been with 60,000 or even 100,000 people in it!

Fair enough.

But given how that game went ... it was amazing that we were 1 Hail Mary away from a miracle.

Mullen damn near blew it.

I'm picking up what you're putting down.

But the crowd can't score TDs for them.
