LSU head coach Brian Kelly spoke with the media on Monday and was asked about the officiating from the South Carolina game on Saturday, and more specifically, the Pick 6's that were overturned because of penalties by the Gamecocks.

Kelly said that penalties looked like fouls to him, but he did not want to complain about the calls, as the "games are won by the players and lost by the players."

Not a bad answer honestly

The first one was a result 100% of the penalty being committed. If horse collar doesn't happen it is a first down maybe more. The second one was all on Nuss it was a terrible choice to throw. He was baited and never the second defender. The hit on Nuss was absolutely a penalty by the rule, if anyone says otherwise they are being blind or dishonest. I don't think Nuss sold the push. He never saw it coming and wasn't ready for it and was caught unprepared and off balance. The call was a 50/50 thing. Sometimes it is called sometimes it is not. Lucky for LSU it was called. SC can cry all they want but they were also gifted 7 points from the blocked punt. That absolutely was a penalty but you don't hear them even mention it.

The blindside block was absolutely a foul and not close. Look at the replay, every single ref in the area threw a flag. Not even a judgment call, just an over-excited SC player who made a poor decision in the moment. It happens.

Both were stupid plays by SC players. Both plays were away from the ball but they were good calls

As the head coach of a premier D1 program, what do you expect him to say?

In this case he only had to say the truth.

if that were true, i think it unlikely he would fuss at the refs like he does at times. lsu was on the good side of two calls this time. the truth is when the game is close between two evenly matched teams, a call by a ref (good or bad) will determine the game.

How many total plays are in a typical football game? You think that just one of them determines the outcome? How about all of the other plays where the offense failed to score and the defense failed to stop a score.

I mean, why play any more plays after a bad call? The game is decided at that point, right?

Not 1 play but every game can usually be narrowed down to 3-5 plays that made the difference. Even a blow out has a few plays early that blew the game open. This game I would say the blind side block negating a pick 6, the Lacy catch at the 2, and SC missed FG were probably the plays that determined the final outcome.
