Yes, we did. Instead, we allowed Bama to convert on a 3rd and 7, and we ran into the kicker on a punt on the same exact drive. Two really bad errors on LSU's part gave Alabama a field goal try.

The bad call by the officials neither awarded nor took away points to or from either team.

One bad call on a non-scoring play is NEVER worth nine points.

Dude, 1 bad error by an official gave Bama a FG try.........you are negating the fact that we did make a play(an INT) that wasn't called.

Our defense made the play to give us the ball back to win. You can't deny this.

Sure Bama converted on 3rd and 7, hard for a defense to reasume an intensity after what had transpired the play before.

You are blaming coaching........which is chickenshit.

I understand your point and there's no way of knowing if LSU could drive down the field and score.

But you can't take away the fact that the refs took that chance away. Instead, they gave them the ball back and let Alabama put the game out of reach.

I'm not blaming the refs for the whole game, you can't. Alabama just made one or two more plays than LSU did, but that ONE chance was blatantly stolen from LSU.

You go down and score a TD and you're up one. Could the defense hold? Maybe. Could the offense even score given the chance? Maybe.

We'll never know because the refs stole that chance and handed it to Alabama.
