BATON ROUGE, LA – Following LSU’s loss to Alabama at Tiger Stadium, local fan Travis Boudreaux insisted the outcome would have been different if the Tigers had scored more points, allowed fewer points and generally participated in a different game.
“Take away their big plays and give us a few touchdowns, and tell me who wins,” said Boudreaux, pausing the television on a play he believed proved his point despite its actual outcome.
Boudreaux identified several turning points, including Alabama getting the ball, LSU giving it back and the officials repeatedly allowing the clock to continue while things were going poorly.
He also maintained that one early stop could have changed the atmosphere, momentum, play calling and apparently the physical abilities of everyone involved.
“That’s a totally different ballgame,” he explained.
By midnight, Boudreaux had reconstructed an LSU victory requiring only nine touchdowns to be handled differently and Alabama to have recruited worse for several years.
He confirmed he would be wearing the same shirt next Saturday.
