Because it wasn't a great play. The kicker kicked the ball literally 4 feet off the ground. It would have been hard NOT to block it.


It was higher than the Tennessee kick that hit Mt. Cody in the armpit, but people are still singing his praises for that one.

8) Bad Coaching to have an injured Marquis Maze (attempt to)field a punt late in the game.

I think you need to look at the play again.

'bama NOT MISS ANY OPPORTUNITIES !

LSU's defense blew them apart when they got inside our 35 or 30 yard lines.

Missed opportunity is when someone falls down without being touched running into the end zone.

LSU's defense slamming 'bama back with tackles for losses every time they smelled the end zone is not an opportunity they missed, but dominant play by LSU.

Our defense is the story.

Saban had his share of missed opportunities.

With almost 2:00 left and LSU having to punt, Saban doesnt call timeout and instead allows LSU to run the clock down and then Saban lets it run out the rest of the way to play for OT with a FG kicker that had already missed several. Bad coaching decision. He's offense would have had a better chance to win the game in regulation without having to put the kicker in that situation after missing so many FG's/

Everyone talks about not being able to "out-Saban" Saban. It appears as if Saban tried to "out-Les Miles" Les Miles. No one will admit that though. Weird.

4) Bad coaching call to use a Wildcat pass near the redzone in the 4th qtr




That was a great call. Eric Ried stripped the ball from that guy or it would have been a Bama TD easy.

Did you forget that the football hit the camera wire? (lame excuse) That's why he didn't even try to get the ball after that - he was so pissed...

Actually, the ball was between 8 and 9' off the ground when Logan made contact. Considering Logan had to lift around 300 pounds off of the ground to get to the ball it was at least a good play, if not a great one.
