OK. Everyone has their opinion. Here's mine. The clock was stopped for the injury. However, the clock is only supposed to stop if the player can not get off the field. Obviously Hill got up and limped off the field no slower than he would have being healthy. In that situation,(an offensive player getting injured - fake or not- with no timeouts) a 10 second run off is supposed to be enforced. Had LSU had a timeout, they would have been forced to use it then. I don't think the clock should have been stopped at all since the player was able to get off the field on his own. By rule, since the RB didn't get out of bounds, the clock restarts at the whistle, (ball placed at spot).
Concerning the offensive PI. We couldn't see from our angle, but it appeared Norwood grabbed the CB's jersey and pulled him back. Otherwise, it could have been a defensive PI. If you watch closely, the CB's shoulder dips down slightly. I have no problem with that call. Had we had a better view, it would have been clearer.
I didn't like the no call with Mettenberger and the phone, however that was a hilarious caption by RTR91. I saw a few holds that weren't called, but that is with every game. I was a little curious on the illegal procedure calls against LSU. I understand why, but that is an unusual call. I wonder if Saban tipped them off to watch for it. Unfortunately, it didn't hurt LSU any. They still got the TD. If it was an illegal procedure call, it should've been a live ball foul, not a dead ball. They called it false start because they accidentally blew it dead.
