And the LSU wide receiver just stood there as the ball was still "live" on the last play...

57 seconds and this is all they got off....

A 10 yard run out of bounds that stopped the clock.
An incompletion that stopped the clock.
Then a 30 second completion to LaFell.
A Hail Mary.
An attempted multi lateral.

and they had 40+ seconds left. The middle screen was maybe the worst call of the new year, considering you have no timeouts and the play has a decent shot to not get a first down. As soon as the WR caught the ball 1 yard from the line of scrimmage, my wife (who barely knows the difference between football and baseball) said, "Isn't the clock going to keep running unless he gets out of bounds?" I said "yes", she says "That is a really stupid decision." If my wife knows its a bad play call, its a bad play call. Whether the personal foul call was bogus is debatable, but what is even better is watching LSU let 10 seconds run off the clock after the ball had been reset after the personal foul. Im just thankful that Les Miles is at LSU. If LSU had a great gameday coach, they would be way too much too handle, kind of like they were when Saban was the coach. Luckily they have a buffoon running the show.

LSU folks don't seem to notice that he is clueless. They are going to keep him around for a couple more years and then wonder what happened.

and the ref's were just going to let the psu player lay there on the lsu player, which made perfect sense when they called a personal foul for pulling him off.

The 15 yard penalty wasnt a mistake. The moronic play that caused it was.

probably going to take 25 years of sweat and tears with one company for me to see a 6 figure salary but Les Miles and the one place kicker wonder at Northwestern make 7 figures and cant read a clock.

at the Penn St 45 with 20 or more seconds after making the catch...only needing 13-15 more yards to kick the fg....so yes, the penalty lost it for them. It was a mistake

defense is basically in prevent mode and playing loose so you can get 10 yards and out of bounds without a lot of effort. That was truly a dumb call, the Stallion needs to weigh in.

defenses try and force teams with no time-outs into the middle by playing wider- that was the case today

LSU was on the PSU 45 with 20+ seconds needing only 13-14 more yards...it wasnt the call- it was the penalty</p>

get eight to ten and keep the clock stopped, they played right into their hands. Bad coaching.
