That play call hurt. Leave the ball in leavitts hands.

Felt like a momentum swing letting them hold us to a FG. Gave energy back to the stadium.

Still not sure we shouldn't have gone for it.

Lacy was out.

Pin them deep if you dont get it.

Didn’t look like Leavitt liked it either.

Kiffin said the idea was to gain yardage and if short go for it in fourth down, but we ended up losing yardage.

To be fair, it was another pitiful spot by the line judge. Spot the ball correctly and I think the play call is different. Really thought LSU let the opportunity slip away when they kicked a FG instead of the TD.

Bingo. Wasn’t anticipating a negative play.

3rd down play was devastatingly bad.

Play all is our go to play for short yardage. Makes sense, it was just executed poorly. What really sucks is that we lost yards, which caused us to kick. If gained any part of a yard, we would have gone for 4th

Yeah, that was a bad decision.

Either trust your QB or don't.

That was the loss right there, IMO… with that boneheaded TFL it changed the whole trajectory…

A TD & XP puts us up 28-24… besides the psychological blow of losing lead after dominating, it means they’re driving under pressure TRAILING… IF they score it makes them have to kick the XP to make it 31-28….,then our last drive is less pressure, TD wins it there , chip shot FG is OT

If LSU had been able to score a TD there and take a lead for the first time, it would have no doubt had a strong psychological effect on both teams. But what's what .... is what.

I thought we would have thrown the ball out of that formation after the first time running it. Figured it would have caught them off guard. ???????

You kick the FG to tie the game up. You've been playing from behind the whole game.

I thought it was an option to Clark to the left for an easy to but the RB didn’t pitch it.
