Kidding aside, it looked like the refs were told to back off. Several blatant fouls on both sides were not called. For example, I do not recall an offensive holding call the entire game (I could easily be wrong).

LSU’s defense made a mark, but without offense LSU was doomed.

The most flagrant non call IMHO was on the opening drive when Bama was called for a false start and the refs kind of whistled the play dead, but allowed Tua to be tackled, injured, and out for a critical 3rd down play.
