that wasn't really a bad call


I disagree.

Your best "runner" is Ridley. You're best "passer" is Lee.

Why in the frick at the most critical time in the game do you go with what you do 2nd best? It was a horrible call.

I don't care if it brought the option back into play, thats not what LSU does best. When the game is on the line, you do what you do best, you don't try and out-think you're opponent, unless that is all you have (ala Boise State vs OU in Fiesta).

the chilling fact is that LSU hasn't scored very many TD's at all and we are not comfortable down there. we should have a few goalline plays for just that situaltion and we probably do. doesn't sound hard to me if we have 5 passing plays and 5 running plays to call 2 or even 3 plays. our offense coachs struggle in getting plays in promptly (it was even worse last yr). i think crowton has too complicated of a thought process. it's not a chess game, it's football. with a few seconds on the clock, i'm sorry, i don't want JJ in the game because he has no clock awareness.

oh, I agree...there was simply no reason not to keep Lee on the field, they had time to run three more plays. Having JJ run the option was not a great call, but the change up with that much time remaining wasn't a "bad" call, assuming they had been ready for the next play.
