the interception that wasn't- discuss

[fundytide]

yet another game-changing call for LSU against Bama?

I think the thread title says it all. It was a contributing factor to our loss.

He either caught it or fumbled it, not sure how it can be an INT!! They were both on the ground AFTER he caught it.

 

[TideFan in AU]

Nah, the ball moved before Williams hit the ground. Unfortunately, it was the right call...

 

[Ldlane]

I think at worst it was a "tie" and should've gone to us, but not to be.

 

[Timberline Tide]

I thought he was down when he hit the ground - and that the thugSU player took it away after that point. should've been first and goal

 

[louise]

Sure looked like a bad call to me.

 

[hollisx4]

I think the reciever was down before the LSU player had the ball, but it doesn't matter what I think.

 

[wishbonesooner]

I think you got hosed.

 

[skrayper77]

By the rules, he was down with the ball in his hands. Bad call by the refs, changed the game. Even if we settle for the FG we win. Ref hosing again.

Add 2011 to the long list of infuriating game changing "interception" calls between Alabama and LSU.

It was the correct call . Williams never had total control of the ball on his way down so there was no way it was going to be overturned . Let's not play the sore loser card :...

 

[JBama_in_PCOLA]

He was down with control with the ball. Then the guy takes it. I don't understand it at all.

We lost, I'm sore -- it's the only card I have right now.......

It is what it is. What a bigger play was the 15 yard run that was negated after the illegal shift in the first half. That would have put the ball on the 20 yard line and a much easier FG than the one we missed.

 

[rolltide79]

No more crying from them about how bad calls cost them the game.

 

[Crimson Cat]

I felt it was questionable, but I'm more upset at missed opportunities in the first half...if we hit one or two, or all those fg's, we win.
IF we don't block in the back on the defensive int, we have the ball at the five with an almost sure score. If we don't get a penalty on offense every time we get near the red zone, its a different ball game.
Too many missed opportunties and penalties for Bama. Bad call? Maybe but that wasn't what stopped Bama. Bama did.

Not until it happens the other way next year anyway.

The receiver was down. !st and goal BAMA. Bogus block in the back on Barron's int. 1st and goal BAMA. Why wasn't LSU's beloved "honeybadger" thrown out of the game. The best team was wearing CRIMSON. Why in all big games do the officials wind up making stupid calls that directly effect the outcome of a game. The players should win or lose a game, not some overzealous amateur in prime time. LSU tackled the helmet probably 50 percent of the time. I thought CBS was gonna hold a parade for Eric Reid. LSU is a bunch of dirty trash talking thugs. I gotta go before I get mad and say what I'm really thinking.
And by the way A.J. was by far the best QB on the field.

He should have held onto the ball and completed the play. If he had done that, it would have been our ball on the one yard line. Credit their guy for taking it away.
