re: If Flynn to Byrd was incomplete...

you can ask the same thing about having TM7 in 2011?

If 2010 Bama win doesn't happen, Miles is gone.

If the refs make the rt call on the missed fg in the OSU Iowa state game, Is Les Miles considered the best coach in college football rt now?

Or if they just say eff it and let TM7 play in 2012 does LSU have another national title?


If Cody doesn't block the fg against Tenn in 09 does bama ever win a title under saban?


You could do this for a lot of teams, but three plays could have changed the history of college football and bama wouldn't be seen as the premier program.

After Bird caught that touchdown the clock ran down from 7 seconds to 1.

wasn't there 2 or 3 seconds on the clock? we snapped it with 11-12 seconds?

First of all, all the replays showed that there would have been time on the clock to kick the field goal without a doubt. Second, what if Hill had stuck his head into the line on third and one against Alabama with 2 minutes or so left in 2013 and LSU went on the national championship?

...and the clock hit 0:00, is Les Miles the head coach at LSU in 2015?

This would mean, not only did we incomplete a pass in field goal range while losing by less than 3 points, but the clock man taking an extra 5 seconds off the clock instead of the 3 extra he took off on the play to begin with.

Imo, they would've put time back on the clock, and we would have kicked a field goal. The clock should've been reset to 0:04 in the actual game, even though it wouldn't have mattered

I never understood people who thought Les was crazy for this. After Bird caught that touchdown the clock ran down from 7 seconds to 1. Literally, if it was incomplete the clock would have been around 5-7 seconds left.

I've ripped on Miles for many things, but never for this play. I don't think there were 5-7 seconds left, but I'll agree that at the very least there were 3 seconds left. And the explanation after the game actually made sense. They didn't mean to run the clock down to 1 second, Matt Flynn took for ever to call for the snap. He was watching the play clock and didn't realize that the actual game clock wasn't far behind. This wasn't the current "wait for the play from the sideline that comes in real late", LSU broke the huddle with plenty of time left.


Since when is a 42 yard field goal from a college kicker with the game on the line an automatic 3 points?

An equally telling question is what if UT didn't have half the team on the field in 2010? Because the extra men on the field had nothing to do with JJ's complete and utter dysfunction and ensuing botched snap.

BTW it was Lee that led the drive down the field to get to that point before Miles inserted JJ inside the 10.
