Well, you stated there were bad calls both ways. LSU fans name 7 calls that were crucial to the outcome of the game. You can only name one call.

You are assuming that without the pass interference the Bama receiver would have caught the pass for a score. I will grant you that if you grant me the following:

1) Without the personal foul at the five yard line LSU scores a TD instead of the FG
2) On second down in OT Bama is called for PI when they rode Dupre out of bounds with the ball in the air
3)On 3rd down in OT Bama is flagged for the PI on Durel at the 3 yard line and LSU scores
4) On the game tying FG drive the completion to the LSU 13 is reviewed and reversed setting Bama in very long FG range
5) Instead of picking up the PI flag on Bama the call stands and LSU is in FG range
6) On the first play of overtime Bama is called for illegal formation for not having 7 players on the line of scrimmage. If so the completion down to the goal line is negated and the personal foul moves the ball back to the 40 yard line
7) The punt LSU downed inside the 1 yard line is properly called

I appreciate you being magnanimous in victory but its hard for us long time LSU fans to respond in kind when virtually every couple of years crucial calls like those I listed have a significant impact on the outcome of games ( see the clear Patrick Peterson interception in 2008 which disallowed).
