Does anyone have any video?

5;46 is the first wide open TR catch. I see no pick, the LB is way out of position.

6;08 is the other one. This is the one probably people complaining about. This will never get called, especially by BIG12 or PAC10 refs.

You probably need to be in the same area code as the receiver if you want to get a pick call. No defender within 25 yards of Richardson. How can you complain about a pick?

Only really successful plays for either team were due to mistakes, missed assignments, lapses. Neither Offense could execute its way to a big play.

I noticed in at least 2 of the big gains Alabama had against LSU they "picked" the linebacker off that was suppose to be guarding Richardson with a blocker (pretending to go out for a pass).... I know this is illegal in the pros and pretty sure it is in college...........and I've noticed against other teams Alabama does this a lot. Is this ever called??


This is incorrect. On both of those plays, there were missed assignments. After the game, Eric Reid and I think it may have been Baker, admitted to the mistakes.

Other players on the LSU defense have said they allowed Bama at least 80 yards on missed assignments during the game.

Yes, Bama does run illegal pick plays quite often. However, we schemed properly to avoid this, but just blew the assignments. There were no illegal pick plays on November 5th.

Might not get called, but it's definitely illegal
