>>>I’m a big LSU fan, and if they ever played a mistake free game I don’t think anybody can beat them.
It’s a secret masterplan by mad genius Les Miles. By making our opponents look good, we allow them to hang on to their rankings (Alabama dropped 1 to #18 today). Also, it weeds out the weak among the LSU fan base, those whose hearts can’t handle all the adrenaline pumped into their systems in the 4th quarter of LSU games.
Decent theory but how does trying an illegal trick play on 4th and inches with half a quarter to go and the game tied on your own 37 make your opponent look good? The compound that by drawing an additional unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the same play for "removing your helmet" to argue with the refs?
Result 20 yard penalty - punt; Alabama "looks" good by running the punt back "right up the gut" for a touchdown....
