its simple with a 1:30 something seconds left we are 1st and goal inside the 25 cause of a penalty , and you lay up and only run 20/30 seconds of the clock to set up a field goal ,, conservative and conservative cost us a game which those boys deserved to win . he could atleast took 2 shots at the end zone and then ran to middle of field and then field goal ... and then in overtime you run the same dam play 3 times to same side of field in a row .....man please im not drinking hater aide but im so sick of him and his lame arse offense

You have to play conservative from the 25 with a minute 10 left, he ran it three times made them use all timeouts. That is how you do it. Our defense had played great the entire game.
If Vidal Alexander doesn't get that penalty we score a touchdown, and if our kicker doesn't kick it out of bounds Blake sims has to go roughly 80 yards and score a touchdown. Critical mistakes by players late cost us, not Les

It was 2nd and goal. The penalty came AFTER the first down play. We didn't replay first down.

That's because the other team had 3 timeouts which they wisely used to conserve some time on the clock.

quote:

We only had two plays to run, not 3.

quote:

The first play was a fade to the left. The second was a slant from the right side of the field over the middle. The third was not even close to either of those two plays.

Congratulations for being incredibly stupid and having no clue what the hell you are talking about.

Taking shots at the end zone could have easily resulted in a turnover and no chance to take the lead. Conservative? Yes. But likely the right call.

3 point lead with 50 seconds, and no timeouts. If you are gambling, you are betting LSU wins, especially when you start taking into account things like:

Bama struggling on 0
Our defense playing well
The stadium

One play here or there ends this game. Mills sacking Sims on the blitz probably ends the game. No personal foul probably ends the game. Hell, if we don't kick it out of bounds, are chances of winning are much greater. 15 yards at a minimum.
