re: The play that changed LSU football

I disagree. The blocked punt at the end of the 1st half vs. Ole miss in 2001 was the biggest. This was a huge play in the game and Saban was booed loudly at halftime and lsu eventually lost for being ultra conservative on offense. After this game, saban allowed jimbo to open up the offense and lsu became one of the best teams in the country and for the first time in a long time became a major factor nationally.

I would give my left nut to have Rohan under center on Jan.9

I have to agree with lsumatt. His point is not what was the best play of the last 10-11 years, but what was THAT play that was the turning of the corner. The exact play when we left the dark ages of Archer - Hallman - Dinardo and started becoming the modern LSU Tigers.

That play after which we didn't know who we were anymore, but we liked where we were going.

Glad that you mentioned that, because I'd forgotten about that play. Another thing was, Rohan takes a big hit just as he's throwing the ball, making that play just that much tougher. Not only did that conversion avoid the possibility of Tenn. getting a chance to win in regulation, it would ultimately lead to the Tigers having one (though the potential game winning FG was blocked.)

To be honest, up until that game, I'd had my issues with RD. He'd looked bad in some games he was in up until that point...but he made me a believer that night.

Nothing against JJ and JL, but if Rohan was QB now, OMG, LSU would be unstoppable!

I thought it was when Xavier Carter knelt on the 1 yard line
