The reverse to Peterson on 4th and 1 at least deserves to be on the list, right?

I mean, that was easily the best call of the game. Hell, best call of the season!

im surprised not many people have talked about how crucial that 2pt play was. if we miss that bama has a chance to tie it after they scored.

None of the above.

The biggest play was the tackle on Trent Richardson at the goal line. He scored (allegedly) but he is the single most talented player on their team and they did not have him for second half.

The turnovers were the most important plays other than that, because they led directly to 6 points (and we won by three).

C
A
B
Fourth and D. Peterson
2 pt conversion
Jasper's punt fake
Shepard's run

What a feast. It has to JJ to Randle for the TD pass. Not only that, but JJ's ability to bullett pass his way the length of the field in 2 plays was like the gates of Heaven opening up. I always knew he could after his first half in the CHik-fil-A Bowl. He played with confidence and tenacity and he found it again in the second half vs Bama.

the play by Nevis was the biggest, IMO.

it

A)took a possession away from Bama

b)just about had us in FG range. It resulted in 3 pts, which in turn was the difference in the game.

All obviously were big, but I'd also add:
D - recovered ball that hit LSU player (#15) when Alabama punted. If Bama recovers they put more points on the board and then who knows??

Obv all these plays plus for the 4thdown were crucial.. I just dont think we pull it out if we had to punt on the JL 3rd down.
Alabama had the momentum, would have had the ball with time and good field postion.
3 would have tied it, a td wins it.

All those other things, happened earlier in the game and for the most part alabama was able to overcome.

Without the resulting TD, we would have kicked a field goal.

You have successfully identified three of the four most significant plays (the TE reverse being the 4th). It is hard to pick a "single" play from your three, or for that matter the TE reverse.

If pressed, I would say Jefferson to Randle. Though the lead would change hands again after that, LSU had the momentum from there on, plus the crowd came back into the game for good on that play.

However, not to diminish, particularly the Nevis strip/Sheppard recovery, which led directly to points, and the TE reverse, which retained the ball and converted a sure FG to a touchdown, both of which led to key points down the stretch. Likewise, being able to consume all but 24 seconds completely changed the way Bama played the end of the game. They had just scored in two minutes, but simply didn't have the luxury to be patient with 24 seconds.

Big plays for everybody on Saturday.

ALL were key plays, really it is possible we lose without all three! There were a ton of great plays that we got that were special.
