    Yes, among many others, including last year's screw job with the PF on the first play after the fumble near the end of the game.

    Still doesn't explain the 20 other calls in that game that either didn't happen or did. The line of scrimmage moving about 4 times in that game, Jordan Jefferson being speared and targeted. The list goes on. I think I asked something last week like, are Bama fans really that stupid or have they been on the good end of so many blatant officiating errors that they just expect SEC home cooking?

    There were some very picky calls, but no really outrageous referee failures. I think the SEC referees were perhaps a bit to concerned with not appearing to be favoring their conference contender on the road in an OOC stadium. That is not a bad thing, really. They knew LSU would win this one. Let us hope that the ACC referees that call the 2017 game inTiger stadium are as concerned with being unbiased.

    It was mostly LSU lining up wrong, holding, and not being able to count to "Hut 3". About 3 fouls for being too aggressive at the end of plays. We have to play hard AND smart. Take pride in not smacking somebody after the whistle, it will get you flagged. Realize that you don't need to push a guy violently into the benches when he's going out of bounds already. It doesn't matter if you are slightly inside the line, the refs are going to call it.

    The refs are part of the field, if you run over one and fall down, you are tackled. If you kick a field goal off his head, it is still a score. And bad calls are part of the game, just like weather and injuries. Everybody gets them and it all sort of evens out. I will save my referee indignation for those rare but outrageous official failures that do occur.

    I can't blame the refs for that no-helmet personal foul. They don't make the rules, and that rule is a bad one. Of course you want to protect the player, but a 15-yard personal foul penalty? That should be a no-play and do it over and the player has to sit out a play and have his helmet inspected.

    This wasn't far off. Too bad we got that penalty on Jones late, otherwise the score ends up 34-17.

    I'm pretty sure I saw a version of the flying wallenda move on Fournette. I could be wrong.

    Red, I can see trying to appear "balanced" in the officiating; however, 'ol Bugeyes and his crew weren't balanced. I don't fear the ACC officials that will come to Tiger Stadium. I wish we'd had an ACC crew yesterday. The SEC has a serious problem with bad officiating, and LSU is often on the wrong end of the calls, along with Bama often being on the beneficial side of calls.
