Wow. I wonder how someone could watch that interception that would have given LSU the ball at such a crucial time and down less than a TD?
He actually had two feet touch down with the ball in his hand. Hats off to Florida and Bama, but I wonder if officials will continue to be suspended following some of these SEC games. I can certainly understand missing the call in 'real' time. But when you can actually look at it in slwo motion and still miss it, that just calls things into question.
Still a great game though. And it was a battle of attrition. I just hate to see the stripes play that kind of role.
I'm not sure it would have mattered as without Jefferson and Scott LSU wasn't moving the ball, but you sure would have liked to have had a shot.
There may never be a clearer call to overturn at a more crucial moment than yesterday's interception that wasn't. I sort of wish they would just scrap the replay system and let the calls be made on the field-these games are getting so long with all the reviews. Or, there could be an alternative to guys in a replay booth in the stadium. What I mean is a replay crew at the SEC offices making replay calls away from the hubbub of the stadium. I bet that interception would have been granted had the game been in Baton Rouge;you can't convince me that the stadium buzz doesn't impact the calls.
And with all of the above said, it wouldn't have mattered if LSU could have stopped an Alabama drive or two.
If you didn't see it, here is the play in question:
