re: What did Mark May have to say after the game

Lou said "I don't know how LSU lost the game"

Still don't know. It was absolute domination the last part of the game and LSU just didn't put it away.

Just can't let Bama stay that close with the ability to win in one drive.

FIFY.

miles and chavis cracked under pressure. it's that simple. i honestly think tracy wolfson's comment might have affected him, which means he actually let his ego factor into the game, which is surprising. he normally only EVER called a trick play if they had seen something specific on film. like the onside kick was a good call - the wedge leader was leaving early and hairston would have had it if it weren't for the bounce. but the fage fg was just unconscionable - he saw they were lined up to play the fake, and then ran the fricking thing anyway. "Well, I'm the Mad Hatter, so wouldn't it just be awesome if it worked! It's what i do!" and then i think part of his decision to kick the 54 yarder was fueled by trying to make up for the first botch-job. then chavis panicks and resorts back to his old ways, and plays not to lose even though his db's had blanketed bama all game. before he knows it, they're in fg range, and he adjusts exactly when they expected him to. lsu loses.

fage fg: ego
54yd fg: stupidity
wasting two timeouts: panick
warecat up the gut on a d with about 11 guys between the tackles: ego
final drive defense: panick

on the 50+ fg attempt, it looked liked Allemand slipped on his plant right has he was driving through the kick. It was right on. Has he made from that distance before?
