IIRC, UCF was extremely lucky to score that last TD. UCF had second and 15 from their own 20, and their QB was sacked back at the 5. But LSU was hit with two personal foul penalties after the play, both of which were enforced, so instead of UCF having 3rd and 30 from their own 5 yard line, they had 1st and 10 from midfield.

That 'drive' should have ended with a punt from like their own 10 yard line, not a TD.

Lucky? C'mon. So penalties are luck now? What about turnovers? Bad passes? LSU had well over 100 yards of penalties in that game. They have only themselves to blame.

It was very lucky for UCF that LSU gifted them that last TD. That's all i was saying.

When you get out-gained 550 to 250 and 45 mins to 15 mins and 32 first downs to 17 first downs, the other team has to make a lot of blunders for you to lose "only" by 8 points.

And those blunders can be explained by LSU having to play so many green players.
