LSU missed the Burrow touchdown on the first possession of the Fiesta Bowl failing to call a timeout for review. Announcers noted the possible touchdown for review. Later, LSU requested a review of the muffed punt during the second half, bad decision, there was nothing there to overturn, this leading to LSU not having any timeouts the rest of the game. LSU missed a first down at the end of the half of the Fla game, Danielson stating that LSU should look at the play. Without delay, Coach O sent in the field goal team without review, oblivious that LSU had the first down made on the play. These mistakes are unforced errors. Coach O needs to seriously look into this.

I think that was a direct correlation to the two early lost challenges against aTm

The fact that we ran hurry up on a play that the booth could have reviewed or we could have reviewed is mindblowing.

I didn’t see the play, but the hurry up has gotten us a lot of good plays this year. Doesn’t allow the d to get set or sub

i thought they spent a bunch of extra money bringing in additional staff. seems like someone should have been keeping an eye on this.

it works both ways, the spotter has to relay to Coach O the play needs review or to hurry up the positive play may be overturned

Agreed, but not on a potential TD play.

We got a false start anyway. It's difficult to manufacture a worse 20 seconds than that.

LSU went hurry up in every 3rd and short during the game. That was the game plan and it probably would have worked had the lineman not jumped early.

I hear you on that.

But his calf or foot was in bounds.

I was yelling, “don’t snap that ducking ball!”


At least get a glimpse.

Coach O did not call timeout to review the muffed punt. R Lawrence called timeout on the field because they had a linebacker out of place. The coaches used the timeout to review being it had already been called.

Burrow's run may have been a TD and it may not have been, but the spot at the one yard line was horrendous.

At worst the placement should have been at the one foot line.

That's not what happened exactly. The time out was called by Lawrence because the D was out of position. Since the timeout was called they figured they might as well challenge the punt.

Not challenging the Burrow stretch at the goal line was totally inexcusable. Immediately brought me back to the mistake in the Florida game. I'm not an O basher at all and I think he's demonstrated that he can handle this program but those calls are really easy stuff that can have a huge impact on the game and fall entirely on him.

Last drive of the game was botched as well with the indecisiveness to kick a FG or go for it on fourth down. Led to a delay of game forcing us to punt.

If they come back to tie that game, the focus would be on that sequence today and Coach O would be under fire.

I was surprised Burrow didn't act more like he scored. He appeared to be the one pushing for next play

It's really not because of the coaching philosophy since the UF game. They've gone uptempo on majority of 3rd and 1 situations, they've been aggressive in that spot.

I thought this thread was going to be about a bench press accident.

Tracey is good but we were on like the 38-40 yard line. That’s a minimum of 55 yard field goal. There is a lot of room for error there. Bad snap, a miss.

That wasn’t botched at all. It worked out perfectly.

thx, i wasn’t aware of that but the failure to spot plays from the booth have been horrendous. Coach O needs to get better help.
