🏈 I know its getting time to focus on A&M, but...

did anyone else think the LSU OL got away with excessive holding particularly on running plays, but also several passing plays? I haven't heard any significant criticism about this, so I was just wondering if it was just me.

I saw grabbed jerseys twice on pass rushes that were not called. One was pretty severe.

I did see a few, particularly early in the game when we were generating some pressure...I also saw Warmack get away with one too though when Christian Jones got a key first down

Refs have never been good in Alabama/LSU games

I came away from the game with the impression the refs let them play. It might not be a good example, but I saw it akin to two basketball teams with strong front courts banging it out under the boards.

I've heard a few LSU fans complain about getting seven flags versus our one. But, when I ask them what they thought about getting 13 against A&M the week before in a win they've walked away.

I wonder why...

Past is the past lets move on to A&M

I came away from the game with the impression the refs let them play.

me too. in fact, i said to my father during the game, "well damn, i guess they (refs) have decided to let them (OL and DL) play tonight!" haha

i admit, LSU is physical and Copeland is certainly a beast, particularly as a blocker. but i was just shocked at the number of instances of egregious holding at the point of attack, whether it be a LSU running play or a Bama pass rusher closing in on Mettenberger.

There was only one non call that shocked me. The play was flagged, but not for the what I saw.

When Copeland was charged with the unsportsmanlike conduct flag I saw him chop block Pagan a few seconds before he took out Belue. When they said there was a flag on the play, I thought it was on him for the Pagan incident.

He got away with one, then added another. The kid was just out of control on that play.

 

[musso]

definitely! when they replayed that play to identify the foul i cringed at his chop block. i didn't know it was Pagan, but it looked bad leading with his helmet.
