🏈 Would this have been called at LSU?

On Tua's run. It was NOT at KSU. In 1998 on a future Heisman winning QB.

The way they held our DL and mugged our WRs, I'd say with 99.9% confidence that the answer is NO!!

i've rarely seen more holding than I saw saturday night. It was comical after a certain point.

I would agree... but in all fairness, they were not really calling anything on us either. I think there was one PI that was a bad call and one Face-mask that was correct call, but other than that they only really called false starts on either team.

@94 Grad , I agree. They let them play for sure. I know I saw some things that would get you or I 2-5 years if we did the same thing on the street!!

I agree... I noticed their holding all game long during the live airing. I went back an rewatched it and looked at both sides and it is clear the refs were not inserting themselves into the game and LSU took "more" advantage of it on their Oline than we did... What is really amazing is how badly they where holding Q all game long with double teams even and he still destroyed them. He was pretty gassed by the 4th quarter though... He truly gave 100 percent effort on just about every snap. Was a truly amazing performance, like I've never seen before. Constant effort for the entire game by him and truly why our D dominated so much. I thought he had got hurt in the 4th quarter when he kept going out of the game, but watching the game back it was just because he was completely gassed fighting the holds and double teams.

There was one egregious missed PI call on a 3rd down on one of our WR that was running a crossing route. The LSU DB grabbed our WR from behind and literately stopped him in his forward progress of about a second. I the live broadcast I had thought Tua just mad a bad pass (at the time I remember saying that he doesn't normally miss throw crossing routes). What I really find interesting is CBS had to notice these things too... and not one time did they "replay" one of those plays to show the bad officiating. It was like they were told not to discuss it.

1) Definitely was an uncatchable ball in my view. I wasn't there.
2) Simulated snaps is what I've heard/read. They (Bama D) pointed it out and it stopped.

@94 Grad I believe the obvious PI that wasn't called was when D. Smith came across from left to right on a dig route. I believe it was Greedy that hooked him!! That is either a defensive hold or a PI if the ball was in the air.

Yup... it literally stopped him in his tracks for a second. I missed it on the initial play because I was watching the the QB. Rewatching the game it is SO obvious I have no idea how/why the Refs didn't see it. Now, I'm not saying the decided not to flag it. Refs can/will miss stuff so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt here; however CBS has no excuse not to show this... they saw the replay and they KNEW it happen and CHOSE to not reshow it.

No

It is true they let them play on Saturday night which I generally prefer. You could tell 10 minutes in that it was going to be that type of game.

 

[sean]

they certainly weren't calling offsides or neutral zone infractions, either. and the lsu defense lined up offsides more than once.

I think I remember them calling it just once, and it was on a good play by us so it was declined.

 

[Rolltide24]

They did call it once, they had no choice, the guy was about even with our O-line. The PI penalty was awful, the ball landed a good 6-7 yards out of bounds. But the lack of holding calls was crazy. Including some on some of their bigger plays. Miller and Q were the recipients of several each. I was pissed when our guys jumped off-sides on 4-5 straight snaps on that last drive. I knew something had to be going on. Luckily they only called it twice, but it happened more times than that consecutively.
