re: One heartbreaking loss you which LSU could have back

The only answer -

We lost a National Championship Game to Alabama - January 2012

This one game could have changed the trajectory of our program.

But we had an opportunity to change that trajectory. In 2012 we had them beat. All you do is get a 1st down and game over. Instead of running Hill, Miles got cute and took him out for an OBVIOUS wildcat play with Spencer Ware giving Bama one final shot. Our secondary was kinda sketchy that game anyway and I was scared because McCarron had a tendency to get hot late with the game on the line. Went right down the field and scored. And yes I was in the student section when Yeldon scored. Like a gut punch. I knew we lost. The team and the stadium were deflated. I also felt that we would not beat this team for a long time. Unfortunately that played out too until 2019 that is.
