First of all it was great to see fellow canes fans in Dallas. We represented well even though the outcome sucked. Now lets get to the point of this thread. Something no one has talked about in the criticism of Richt is his lack of calling a timeout on the Chase "catch" near the endzone(LSU's second TD drive).
That play happened right in front of our seats and I thought it was incomplete at the time. The play was a huge momentum shift in the game. I went back and watched the broadcast and sure enough Chase double caught the ball as he was diving for the endzone the ball hits the truff out of bounds. Regardless Richt should have called a timeout when LSU was trying to hurry up and run a play before a potential review.
The play in question is replayed on the TV broadcast below starting at the 59:30 mark with a good angle. Also at the 59:38 mark show's a great view of the obvious hold by Charles where he bear hugs Jackson and Johnson leading to the TD.
