For those watching on TV, what was said about that play? It seemed like a hose job. It doesn't seem like you can just change the penalty like that.

Also, what is blocking above the helmet?

IDK, they ended up saying his knee was down prior to the run back. Seems to me, the play should have been over right there, prior to any live ball foul.

It was a bullshite call. They flagged it as if we went after the QB and hit him in the head. The QB was trying to get to Loston to make a tackle and he was blocked. There was nothing out of the ordinary on the block, just typical SEC officials.

Danielson said Reid basically took Wallace's head off


and those old dudes mis-speak sometimes, hit above shoulder pads



and I kinda have to agree on one thing....if the refs screwed up and didn't call the play dead, why should any team be penalized for their frick up???


penalty should be cleared if the foul would never happened except for the ref screw up

Right call. LSU player treated the QB like any defender. Unfortunately, it ended up being helmet to helmet.

After Loston intercepted, he ran it back. Wallace got in the way and got hit in the chops by a defender (was it Reid?). Anyways, they said that Loston's knee was down, and, therefore, the helmet to helmet contact was a dead ball foul. So, they assessed that penalty after the spot where Loston's knee went down.
