Week 11 College Football Gamethread: The Glorious Return of #MACtion

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

This is going to be the longest 1:17 in football history.

 

[Dgilpin]

Refs love calling that secondary push personal.

You don't let something like that potentially decide a game though

 

[canderson]

He'll miss, he isn't a very good kicker.

 

[canderson]

Or not, n/m.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

DO NOT KICK IT TO CHRISTIAN JONES

 

[Kremlin Watcher]

This is delicious.
 
Edit - even deliciouser. 

 

[mascho]

Oops

 

[FenwayFrenzy]

This is delicious.

I don't want it to end. OT please.

And that's a good start.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

OMG #3

 

[mascho]

Alligator arms

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Should have been DPI there.  That's a missed call.  He grabbed his right arm.

 

[mascho]

That had room

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Clock should have stopped on the catch.  That cost them a couple seconds.  They should review that in the booth.

 

[canderson]

That's not a catch, hal smart to spike it immediately.,

 

[mascho]

Do you take a shot?

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Oh man, I'm shocked they ran another play there.  Do they go one shot to the end zone?
 
I agree with the field goal.

 

[canderson]

Go for a TD.

 

[soxfan121]

SABAN HAS NO BALLS

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Sweet.  I want OT.

 

[McBride11]

Booo. 7 seconds! Go for it Saban. Way more fun.

 

[mascho]

Boom clap

 

[Deathofthebambino]

The kick out of bounds is probably not as big of a deal as they are making it.  With a squib kick, it probably would have been fielded around 10-15 anyway, and Alabama probably would have taken the return out of the 30 or so.  It's probably only a 5 yard difference or so from where they got it on the 35.
 
Awesome hit there.

 

[soxfan121]

Awesome hit, indeed. I do believe that young man made the priority free agent list for many NFL GMs, even if he can't do anything but that. 

 

[The Napkin]

True but the 5 or so seconds that would have taken were big

Yeah, the OB kick is an easy scapegoat. But if the squib is down the middle Bama has decent enough field position. And they got down to the 10 or so. So that's overblown IMO

 

[BigMike]

Miles probably blew it by not calling the timeout before the snap on the spike, after the long incompletion that was ruled a catch

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

HA HA MAkeup call.

 

[Dollar]

Oh that's a BS flag.  The play hadn't been blown dead.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Another weak call there.

 

[BigMike]

Great play call.   And now an UGH PF on Bama after they get to the 1.
 
Good call officials need to call that more

 

[mauf]

Really bad officiating in Baton Rouge.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

SEC can recruit every position on the field except the Zebra position.

 

[mauf]

Mobile QB makes that an easy yard to get -- you can't completely sell out to stop the run up the middle.

 

[canderson]

Just saw that Utah fumble, holy fuck.

That reminds me of Leonn Lett a little, but somehow worse.

 

[mauf]

#72 going to get fitted for goat horns if they don't get this TD.

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Well designed play, and well thrown pitch and catch.

 

[mauf]

Wes Welker would love that pick.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

I hope BB was watching that play.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

Looked a little early to me.

 

[mauf]

Brilliant play by Perry (27).

 

[Deathofthebambino]

Could have been DPI on that last play too.

 

[Dollar]

Huh, that definitely could have been DPI in the back corner of the end zone.

 

[Old Fart Tree]

How do you not throw a flag there.

 

[mauf]

3rd down was clean as a whistle.

4th down, not so much.

 

[canderson]

LSU goes from begging fans on the PA to rush the field to, well, a loss. Nice.

 

[BigMike]

That's called a DPI about 98% of the time

 

[Dgilpin]

And now the officials decide not to throw a flag ....

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

They called the 15 yarder push but missed that? Are you f'ing kidding me?

 

[canderson]

Yikes, guess the SEC got word to the refs before OT Bama needed the win for the sake of the conference.

 

[Dollar]

He definitely had a good chance of making it if he had run.  Would have had to beat one guy out in space (or wait for his blocker), but I think chances are he'd convert.
