That was PI.

 

[StylesClash]

Wow.

 

[Gobias]

LSU....

Why

 

[Branduil]

How is this not obvious? He gained a first down, so the chains move. He didn't gain a first down, then it's added to the down and distance.

You're just explaining the rule. We're not questioning how the rule works, but why it's inconsistent with the same penalty on any other down.

 

[Kacar]

LSU kicked and prevented the game away.

Sadness.

 

[mre]

 

[outunderthestars]

Fuck you SEC.

 

[bucknuticus]

Suck it Sparty! This is our conference.

 

[JJDinomite]

GOD DAMN IT!

 

[CrimsonCommie]

Oh my god I can't believe it

 

[Jamesways]

That was PI.

Yeah how was that not PI?

 

[cajunator]

Yup. Saw it coming. See yall later.

 

[jjasper]

What a terrible series.

 

[StylesClash]

Wow. This is why I don't watch shit anymore.

 

[Chris R]

Sweet Baby Jesus told the ref not to throw the flag there for PI.

Onward to Oregon/Utah... what could have been a 14-0 game

 

[Lonestar]

Full of staaaaars

Fjrjdidurjfieoe








We'll probably lose next week

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

I'm surprised nothing was called there

 

[Branduil]

He could have run for that 1st down LOL.

 

[LQX]

Ouch! That leg has to be broken.

 

[george_us]

By far the best offense? They are probably the best, but tOSU and Nebraska are not far behind.


and LSU is straight up losing this game...

Well I meant by far the best offense that they would play. I misspoke.

 

[Limedust]

Ahahahaha!

No possible way to piss away more of a game and still win.

 

[Bunta]

Sweet decision, Jennings. Wide open fucking field in front of you and you throw it to the endzone.

 

[mre]

Yeah how was that not PI?

Both guys were guilty of hand checking. Clearly the no call was the right call.

 

[Slurmer]

Just run for the 10 yards ya dope

 

[StylesClash]

We get hosed. Again.

 

[Yaboosh]

Bama is the devil.

 

[bucknuticus]

Ohio State has been irrelevant for a while though...

Eh you know, team with the most BCS bowl wins, but whatevs.

B1GB1GB1GB1G

 

[Limedust]

... Is Nick... crying?

No... no way.

 

[cashman]

LSU is trash.

 

[Branduil]

LSU's kicker squibbing it out of bounds shows that Alabama's players know how to win.

The SEC is garbage.

 

[cajunator]

ULL won so thats what really matters.

 

[C4Lukins]

I am not sure Alabama should get credit for the win, but LSU sure earned the loss.

 

[HeySeuss]

That dudes leg is broke. It was flopping around on that replay.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

SEC is still alive for 2 teams.

 

[storybook77]

Hey look.. no call on that pick play.. but they called a pick on ND on a similar play.

That's what happens when you actually make it appear like you might be running a route instead of actually blocking like a run.

 

[Talon]

You're just explaining the rule. We're not questioning how the rule works, but why it's inconsistent with the same penalty on any other down.

The first down is the first down. The down and distance is not impacted by a penalty that happens AFTER the first down is gained - rather field position is.

There's no inconsistency here. You're missing the primacy of the first down conversion.

 

[HalfBakedProphet]

We definitely have the talent (IMO we have more talent than Wisconsin overall) but it's a road game and Pelini is terrible on the road against ranked opponents. Add in a pretty good defense, a solid running game, and Nebraska's tendency to wilt on the big stage and it looks like the perfect recipe for Nebraska disaster.

I can't disagree. But at the same time our front 4 is legit and Abdullah could always get hot.

I don't trust Tim Beck to have a great game plan but our defense will keep it close. We'll totally lay an egg if we make it to the B1G title game though lol

 

[Skiesofwonder]

Why didn't he run....

 

[vas_a_morir]

Why didn't he run....

He stoopid

 

[Lonestar]

I am not sure Alabama should get credit for the win, but LSU sure earned the loss.

Should get credit for the tying drive and fighting off Leon Brown in overtime.

 

[AlteredBeast]

Eyeball test alone, Alabama is definitely not a top 4 team, but damn if they don't have some heart to win close games.

 

[JJDinomite]

Suck it Sparty! This is our conference.

Bama just won so no Big Ten teams in the playoff lol

 

[Draconian]

Have no idea how that wasn't PI on Cyrus on the last play, but I'll take it.

What a comeback. Never would've imagined we had that in us.

Now Miss State next week. Should be fun.

 

[Jamesways]

Both guys were guilty of hand checking. Clearly the no call was the right call.

True seeing the replay, as they said, both players hands on each other, refs aren't going to pull flags out either way at that point.

Damn, what a game.

 

[outunderthestars]

Why didn't he run....

LSU.

 

[mre]

Bama is the devil.

That's just not possible. There's no way we would have made a deal with Auburn to shove that lucky horseshoe up their ass.

LSU's kicker squibbing it out of bounds shows that Alabama's players know how to win.

Or, maybe it was the rest of that drive to get the game tying field goal and then overtime?

 

[Branduil]

The first down is the first down. The down and distance is not impacted by a penalty that happens AFTER the first down is gained - rather field position is.

There's no inconsistency here. You're missing the primacy of the first down conversion.

I'm not missing it, I'm questioning why it matters. You get the 1st down. Okay, it's 1st and 10. And then the penalty happens after the play. So logically and consistently, it should be 1st and 25 like with the same penalty on any other down.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Bama just won so no Big Ten teams in the playoff lol

None of them were going anyway.

 

[Bunta]

Why didn't he run....

Because Anthony Jennings blows at making decisions. He panics if his first read isn't open, and he sucks ass at running the read option. And obviously he couldn't see he should have pulled it down and ran there.

 

[Frustrated_Grunt]

LSU squandered way too many opportunities to be complaining about a final call at the end.
