The FG would have been 47 yards when we faked it.
The fake wasn't the play I was thinking of. It was attempting the 54-yard field goal right before half. I apologize.
It was 4th and long. Punt the ball, pin them deep, go into half down 7-3.

So basically, you wanted us to kick the 47 yard field goal in the game because we faked it and didn't get anything out of it, but we should not have tried the 45 yard field goal late in the game because it was MISSED. And as a result, both are Miles' fault? I just want to make sure I get on the same page with you here.
Not talking about the same thing here. I'm talking about the field goal Alleman missed right before Alabama took over and went down the field for the win. It was 4th and 4 I believe? Mettenberger was on fire in the 2nd half. I wanted the ball in his hands. If we don't get it, they still have to drive 45 yards in under 2 minutes to get in field goal range and tie the score (which they did do and more, but you can't judge it in hindsight).
ETA: I was thinking we faked the field goal on the 54-yarder. I forgot we were actually stupid enough to kick it there. My apology for the wrong information, but that is just another decision that I believe was colossally incorrect. Why not punt there?

Yes we are. That is exactly what I am talking about.
The fake FG happened at the Bama 30. That would have been a 47 yard field goal. The late field goal that we missed (that you are saying we shouldn't have even tried was from 45 yards).
I see now that you are saying we should have punted instead of faking it which still doesn't explain how the call of faking the field goal lowered our chances of winning the game. You may not be remembering correctly, but after the fake field goal, Bama went 3 and out and punted the ball back to LSU. They did not do anything with the football after the fake.
