re: For the record, I don't think we were offsides on the game clinching int

Yes we were.

However, it's not like they called back a go-ahead TD on a bad call, it was 3rd and 10 at their 49, they would've had 3rd and 5 at the LSU 46 with about 1:20 to go and 1 timeout. That's hardly a guaranteed comeback situation - although Bama has shown it can be done against this LSU defense. Could A&M? We'll never know because LSU won the game.
