I like looking back and playing all the "What Ifs" out. There are a lot of What If's in last night's game that could have made us as fans feel a lot better or worse. What if Jasper had made his only FG attempt? LSU would have been up by 23 points instead of 20, meaning UNC would have had to attempt 2-pt conversions to even tie the game, let alone have a chance to win in regulation. What if Hebert hadn't committed a holding penalty in the 4th quarter? TD LSU. 37-17. Game over. If I remember correctly, the hold had little to do with Ridley's TD run, and he would have scored regardless. What if Brandon Taylor didn't catch Boyd on that 75 yard pass? UNC TD. 14-7 early. The entire game's make-up changes. Instead, LSU gets a chance to stop them and force a field goal. What if Ridley didn't fumble at the end? First down. LSU kneels, and the game is over. It was a scare, and no one feels good about it, but UNC never got closer than 40 yards away from winning the game.
