re: The fake field goal is getting way to much attention.

One, you would have to "assume" our kicker would have made it. it was from the same distance as the last he missed.

two, we had already overcome that decision. we had the lead and the ball in bama territory with 2 minutes left.

to me, there is only one decision that can/should be considered fair game to criticize. The decision not to try and get the first down. that's it.

All the other decisions did not matter up until that point. you over came all the other stuff.

now, with the above said. certainly reasonable and prudent people could understand, may not agree, but understand the thinking. make them score a t.d., i don't think they can on my defense that has stuffed them the entire second half.

now, still doesn't mean mett or lsu would have completed the pass and got the first down. the game still could have turned out the same.

a lot of fans are narrowing their critism to the fake f.g., the fourth down call, the onside kick, and the long field goal. well, all those didn't matter. you were winning with the ball with 2 minutes left.

at the end of the day, our vaunted defense allowed two t.d. drives of over 70 yards in less than 1 minute each. that's where the game was lost. hold just one of them to a field goal and it's o.t., all the other calls wouldn't have and shouldn't have mattered.
