Tuberville demonstrates the proper response to a BS call.Well, what can I say? I'm not too bummed about this loss because I think Auburn played very well. It would have been nice to have a "w", but sometimes it's not in the cards. Like Will Collier, you won't hear me claiming any sort of "moral victory." A loss is a loss.
There is a lot of talk about Tuberville's decision to squib kick late in the fourth quarter. Both coaches made questionable calls in this game. Miles's decision to throw the ball worked. Tuberville's decision to squib kick did not. That doesn't make Tuberville any less of a coach.
What's up with SEC refs this year? They are absolutely horrible. Are they making up their own rules? In the Florida/LSU game, they called back a kick return from a replay that was definitely disputable. In the Florida/Auburn game, they called a penalty that was eliminated in 2003. Who can forget the replay call in the Ole Miss/Bama game (aside from Bama fans)? In the LSU/Auburn game, they nullified a penalty from a replay, and gave LSU a first down with a horrible spot.
Bad calls or not, LSU won the game by pulling it together in the second half. I will not take anything away from their play. They truly deserved the win.

dude give me a break lsu did not truly deserve the win. they were not the better team they got lucky on insane playcalling and the terrible idea of pooch kicking
LSU outgained Auburn 488 to 296.
Sometimes luck falls in your lap, and sometimes you make your own luck. There's a big difference. LSU made their own luck by completing that pass.
Had the squib kick worked, you wouldn't think it was a terrible idea. Had Tuberville not called a squib, and Holliday returned the kick for a touchdown, you would think it was a terrible call not squibbing it. That's just the harsh reality of coaching. You're a genius when something works, and an idiot when it doesn't.
Man,
Auburn played very well in the first half. I was extremely worried at halftime when you guys had us down by ten points.
You are correct about the refs, though. I have seen many muffed and missed calls on both sides of the ball during the (LSU) Tigers' season so far.
I will tell you one thing, I hope we go to Alabama and skull drag Saban and his minions. Then, later in the season you guys can wipe the field with the Tide.
I would have no arguments with that! :)
