but there was an odd set of downs for our offense in the 3Q. I was at the game and it all went pretty fast but there was a play where I thought we gained a first down, but the scoreboard said 3rd down (I think) and I swear at least one set of chains didn't move. We gained a few yards and I remember thinking we now had the 1st down. But it turned out to be a 3rd down play and then next thing I know it's 4th when I thought it was 2nd down. We didn't get it, turned it over on downs. Surely some of you remember this and those watching on TV probably had a better idea what was going on; I'm wondering if our coaches knew what down and distance it was.....maybe that's something w/playing so damn fast is that scoreboard ops and chain guys get behind or confused. The chains I was looking at were on LSU's side which weren't the official ones but would have been the ones easier to see for our coaches too
