Was LSU jobbed by home cooking and poor officiating vs. Texas A&M?

LSU’s historic 74-72 seven-overtime loss to Texas A&M on Saturday night become an instant classic as soon as time expired.

The five-hour marathon was the highest-scoring game in college football history. It also marked the first time that a team scored 72 points in a losing effort.

The longer the game went, the more absurd it became. Likewise, the longer it went, the more agonizing the loss was going to be for whichever exhausted team fell short.

Few games if any have had so many momentum swings, lead changes and dramatic moments.

LSU appeared to win the game on at least three different occasions. Ed Orgeron even received a premature Gatorade bath on the sideline. The Tigers were a split-second, a half-inch, an overturned call away from victory. And in each instance, fate appeared to intervene for the Aggies.

The game also had its share of controversy.

Social media reaction from upset LSU fans nearly broke the Internet on Saturday night. Tigers fans were upset at the series of controversial calls that went the Aggies way down the stretch.
