Missed field goals are the real story..

Think about it, just like Bama did last year at home against us, we missed crucial field goals that changed the game. If we make those two missed, and kick the rather than fake the one, we're up by 12 when Bama gets the ball with less than 2 mins left... just a thought

Good thought.

Or maybe it is making your kicker kick a field goal that only would put your team up by 6 whenever he should have attempted a 47 yarder earlier in the game, and had another 47 yarder. Instead we try a 4th and 12 fake field goal and a run up the middle with Ware on a direct snap. No way we miss all those field goals.

Did he really go south? I'm not sure he's ever been all that, his career long is 44 yards.

Completely agree, he was lights out last season. Especially against Bama.

He missed two clean shots.
The Copeland PF call cost us a third chance.

54 yarder was asking a little too much, should have let Wing try to put them inside the 10

Exactly. Why even risk missing the field goal and giving Bama the ball in such great field position? Regardless, the 4th and 12 should have made a field goal and punted when he kicked the 54 yarder. LSU goes into half down 7-6 and wins.

I really just dont like the fake. 4th and 12 would mean alleman would need atleast 15 for the 1st. Other calls im not upset with.

I put this in another thread but here is what we likely points on or off the board and define the game:
In summary:
-3 points on fake FG at 30 yard line. Were at 13 before Copeland penalty
-3 on 54 yard miss
-3 or 7 on WareCat 4th Down at Bama 24
-3 or 7 on missed 45 yard FG
-14 when the Tigers turned into the 2011 Saints D at the end of 49ers game to close both halfs.
Obviously (looking back) we should have punted instead of attempting the 54 yard field goal before half.

Didnt like any of the long ones, it was how Nick lost at home last year trying to many long sketchy field goals. The really really bad one was the last one to put us up by six?? You kick that one if you can make it and it puts you up by 9 at least. Mett was on fire and should have got the chance to ice the game. Playing not to lose for 2 min?

But the reality of it is the fgs were missed and we were up by three anyway, with 90 seconds to go. Chavis put in that soft defense on the edges. Bama rose the the bait and took it home. We lost it. End of story.
