We merely really did not refer to it in the media." Of the thirteen 3rd downs the Tigers faced, they turned a to begin with down just 5 times. After they slashed a go-ahead goal in the third fourth, the next four LSU pushes resulted in two puntings, a field goal and an interception by Nussmeier that sealed off the end result."
