2016 vs bama


This, this, this.

The mood in the student section that night must have been that of the 300 Spartans - deep down we knew we were doomed but the bloodlust drowned out all reason.

The worst part is, what should have been a top-10 all-time defensive struggle going to OT 0-0 was ruined by two instances incompetent and/or corrupt officiating directly leading to both of Bama’s scores.

First of all to be fair, the almost fumble return TD wasn’t one of them. His knee hit; I physically saw it.

However, their FG was made possible by a phantom personal foul call on an LSU player who didn’t exist which offset fouls on multiple actual Bama players shoving guys on our sideline.

As for the TD run… legend has it they’re still holding to this day.

That game was lost on the game's first drive. Following a Bama turnover at about the LSU 20, Tigers failed to function and Etling badly missed receivers. To compound the failure of what could'f been a golden opportunity and LSU establishing control early in the game, LSU missed a short FG
