re: Every College Football Teams Most Iconic Play of All Time

I was thinking more along the lines of if Georgia's offense had done their job in the red zone, that game would have been over. I consider red zone FGs a failure in almost every scenario.

What if LSU did their job in UGA territory, which they failed to do three times with a field goal, a blocked field goal, and a fumble? Or does that only cut one way?

Not trying to be a dick, but when one team (UGA) fails to ever hold a lead in the game, it's a little ridiculous to say they should have put the game away. It is the epitome of making excuses to say "well, if we played better and LSU played worse then the outcome would and should have been different." UGA twice had a chance to beat LSU in 2003. They failed both times. That should answer any questions about who should have won and who was the better team.

Further, LSU had a great RZ defense all season. Opponents were 11/28 scoring TDs (39%) and 15/28 scoring at all (54%). Maybe Richt just found himself matched up with the best defense in the country and struggled just like everyone else did. Ask Oklahoma, the #1 offense in 2003, how they fared against that LSU defense. To put it in perspective for you, their redzone defensive numbers were comparable to UGA's numbers in the redzone this past season, with LSU having a considerably better scoring % but slightly worse TD %. Boise St in 2011, I think, is the only defense since then who has had a better scoe % number in the RZ at 51% with most of the national leaders each year being at 60%+

TBH you should be thanking Tennessee for beating Florida and that Auburn outlasted Tennessee. Otherwise, you have gotten that second shot at LSU.
