1. Cole Tracy’s missed FG
2. Giles muffed punt
3. CEO electing to play defense instead of going for the first down on 3rd and 4 that would have won the game
4. Aranda bringing no pressure on Mond starting mid way through the 4th qtr and into OT
5. Injured starters out on defense
6. SEC Officiating
7. Ensminger not going for the win in OT with 1st and goal from the 6 yd line after A&M settled for a FG
8. No defensive adjustments during the first half
9. Nickel backs playing 10 yds off the line the whole game
10. All of the Above

What say you?

Nah man

Its always the officials

You're only allowed to blame the officials for the loss. Nothing else.

Why it takes 3 scores and 1/2 for Aranda to make adjustments? Happens in many games.

Delpit dropping an easy interception to ice the game.

Pretty much sums it up, if you were to prioritize them, I'd put the lack of guts to "truly try to pick up 3rd and 4 with 2 minutes left and in 4ot 1a and 1b".

I think it was not taking chances to seal the win, but instead playing to preserve the tie.

All games have plays that fail, only when it happens in close games, they are blamed for the loss. If the game is not close, it is just part of football.

Our problem is offense. It has been, is, and will continue to be a problem until LSU get's serious about fixing it.

Don't blame Tracy and don't blame Giles, and I would even say don't blame officials (we had every chance to win in regulation). Defense wasn't perfect, but it did enough to keep get us the W. One more first down would have sealed it, but instead our offense shite the bed again.

Fix the offense, and the rest of your issues listed become less debilitating.

LSU would have ended up winning by 3 scores. A&M was dead in the water. We had all the momentum. They couldn't do anything against our defense. We ran at will on offense. That muffed punt changed everything.

God we don't deserve Aranda. The guy keeps us in every game. Held AtM to some of their lowest yardage stats all year and consistently keeps teams below 30 pts. Yet, according to the expert analysis of CalTiger53 he's not making the right adjustments. I swear you can't make this shite up some times.

Grant Delpit should have caught that interception to ice the game, but I still say number 3 and 7.

Not being two scores better than the Aggies and therefore better than bad refs and bad calls!

One team had superior talent. The other had superior coaching.
