How will the officiating be in this game?

I’ll take a wild guess and say there won’t be many penalties called on the boys in crimson

If it comes down to it, the officials are the Gumps last line of defense. It won’t come down to that.

So you are saying that SEC football is rigged?????

This is absolutely the worst narrative that you can try to play on.

No need to ask. You already know the answer:

If LSU wins -- It's incredible we beat Bama AND the officials!

If LSU loses -- We got screwed again by the officials!

Rinse and repeat

The point was not that the officiating will cost us the game but how will the game be called. No matter if they called holding on the Hurts run last year we all know we weren't beating Alabama.

Ritter doesn’t do on field games anymore. He does video replay calls from the SEC “home” office in Alabama.

Which is worse!

No different than how it always is every time LSU/bama play.

At this point why would we expect anything less?

we all know we weren't beating Alabama.

I call BS!!!

This is becoming a boring and pathetic complaint for LSU fans.

Virtually every game we blame on officials could have been won by better play, specifically tackling or passing.

I see this comment made whenever LSU fans comment on officiating in BAMA games. Simple question, why is LSU forced to overcome numerous poor calls or non calls and the opponent not have the same burden?

Your comment on the Peterson clear interception is a classic example. The team executed very well and made a big play for which they should have been rewarded . Instead BAMA kept the ball and went on to score to put the game out of reach. Yes, they could have still stopped them, but that ignores momentum, field position LSU would have gained with time to drive and take the lead.

The fact is year after year BAMA does not have to overcome those officiating blunders. They may have still won but lets see what happens when they don't benefit from those game changing officials decisions.

The refs have not cost LSU one single game against Bama.

You need to review some film.

So please tell me how we would have won the game even if the game was still 3-0 going into the 4th?

It was 0-0 entering the fourth quarter and the the first score was Hurts TD with about 10 minutes left aided and abetted by multiple holds. The FG was just tacked on at the end but who knows what transpires if the Hurts TD is negated by penalty.You can say they would not have scored but you never know when BAMA might fumble inside the ten, it happened in 2014. Maybe in a scoreless game LSU kicks a long FG to win it at the end.
