re: SBNation Bama Page: CONSPIRACY! There is a bias in SEC officiating — for LSU

Penalties need context.

- 10 penalties vs Akron
- 9 penalties vs ULL
- 11 penalties vs Vandy
- 8 penalties vs UT in a blowout win
- 1 penalty vs LSU
(All random teams/penalties, just proving a point here)

You are now averaging 7.8 penalties per game...

Also, a holding penalty on 1st and 10 isn't the same as a holding penalty on 3rd and 8.

You can't look at something like this from the high level view. You need to know situation, opponent, etc., In other words, use some common sense.
