re: Unbelievable amount of holding

We basically lost by 2 scores so doubtful these missed calls would have made the difference. They did have one scoring drive where Keys was clearly held on a 3rd and 2 that they converted. Pickett later appeared to be held on the same drive inside the red zone. Might have made the game closer, but we still lose.

There were holds that did not get called. But this team was outplayed in just about every respect. LSU lost to focused, more physical, and better prepared team.
On one of their last few big runs that sealed the win #53 was straight up bear hugging one of our guys into pavia on a read option play. Arms wrapped around him like it was part of the play design.
On their last scoring drive picket was the last defender and was held and kept in the end zone so he couldn’t make the play.
Many times on 3rd there were clear holds that allowed the play to extend.
These are all back breaking plays that made it look like we were completely outplayed because we couldn’t get off the field. It was really really bad, and deserves to be called out.
Being frustrated with this team and staff is completely fair, I am too, but the refs absolutely gave that game to Vandy. That’s isn’t dilution of accountability, it’s an honest assessment.
Sadly it felt the most “Disney story” out of any game I’ve ever watched. The state of the SEC and college football is lame.

FIFY.
And we need to get used to it.

The defense missed Whit for sure.

I dont agree. Holding calls are drive killers. I think we see a few of their early scoring drives result in punts with a fairly called game. The refs were being tricky tack with LSU.

The holding calls on sharp and Davis were borderline at best. That’s the only thing that has me upset about the Vanderbilt no calls. If you’re gonna let Vanderbilt get away with holding all game, you can’t then turn around and call borderline holds on LSU. The holding call on Davis ended the game
Yes, if they called the suspect holds on LSU they should have called the blatantly obvious ones on Vandy. The option down the sideline had Keys get mauled with no call that directly affected the play.
However, the refs didn’t cause LSU’s WRs to drop multiple passes and Vandy’s TE to make difficult 3rd down catches

Exactly. LSU needed to play better to win, that is obvious - our standard is beating Vandy even if they had Jason Aldeen and Kenny Chesney out there calling the game. But that doesn’t change the fact that LSU got called twice for holds that Vandy routinely got away with. Made it not fun to watch…unless you were some rando in the target demo killing time before you can watch the Chiefs again.

I’m no a X’s and O’s guy, and LSU got outplayed and out coached, but Vandy got away with some MASSIVE amounts of holding. A whole bunch of big plays that should have been a loss of yards. It’s unreal how much they got away with.
Bad pursuit angles were the cause of Pavia running all over us.
Perkins alone, took bad angles and let him out how many times?
