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.

I edited, which I don't like doing because it hangs you out to dry.

I was thinking of the 54-yard field goal attempt. Read my edit.

Ah, got it.

This I can agree with. Alleman sucked last year and had no business trying a 54 yard field goal. Miles trusted the defense to be able to prevent Alabama from doing any damage with 1:08 left in the half. That was a mistake, but still didn't cost us the game. What cost us the game was really going into softer defense the last series of the half and the last series of the game and then a freshman not hearing his fellow defensive players yelling at him to back out of the blitz due to the stadium being crazy loud. Also, a missed tackle on the very first play of the last drive of the game didn't help. Had a chance to tackle Norwood in the field of play, before reaching the first down marker
