actually, my dad and I said the same thing as the first-half ended. We both were screaming because it really looked like they did not move as fast as they should/could have. Then again, you don't have to worry about that if JR would have just run out of bounds to stop the clock. He just made a typical inexperienced mistake--and even addmited it in the post-game press conference (said he was in "game mode" and didn't think of it).
He didn't just "blame" the refs. He said that the refs were supposed to give them 12 seconds to set up on the field when under 2 minutes, but they didn't do that & that there was confusion on the side line because of very recent injuries from the play before & who to get out on the field, which resulted in them not being able to get out there in time.
Cramps contributed to young guys coming in the game without game experience, which then turned out to cause some blown assignments.
You guys (2 specific people) are twisting everything he's said to make it sound negative. It's really pathetic.
Funny.. looked to me like UT just tore the soft zone to pieces just like ASU did.. guess i'm mistaken..
Well.... The ball did not get spotted until right when the clock reached 0:00 They originally started running to place the ball. That ref turned arond with it and tossed it to the ball boy. The ball boy wiped a ball and tossed one to the ref, who tossed it back out to the one in middle of field to spot. Blaming the refs was certainly justified on that part. You can see the end of the ball spotting fiasco it if you watch the replay too. On the other hand, EVERYONE on LSU's sideline was completely confused and they had players runnign around in circles onn/off the field. The injury explanation was a joke, an excuse to explain poor organization.
Like i said man.. I have no respect for the guy if he does not put any of the blame on the coaching..
