What Could Have Been… LSU Plays ‘Bama Tight
Oh if only the camera man had panned lower, Peterson might have had an interception that turned the game around. Oh, if only Peterson had not been out of the game when Julio Jones made his 73 yard catch and run for a touchdown. Two simple but important plays that might have changed the outcome of the game.
I believe LSU played well enough to stay in the top 15, especially since Oregon, Iowa, and Penn State all lost. LSU has been officially knocked out of the SEC championship race, as Alabama has locked up the West just one week after Florida cinched the East. The goal now for both teams is to get there with unblemished records, setting up a sure play-in game for the BCA championship. The most likely opponent? Texas, who ran all over UCF (who? yeah, I thought, so, a nobody) today. There aren’t many challenges left for Texas now, who should run the table all the way to the Big 12 championship game.
Once they get there, they might even lose (doubtful) and back into the BCS game like Oklahoma did a few years back… before they lost to LSU.
