The plays that make up the course of a football game sometimes do not occur in a vacuum, and the same can be said for Florida State’s incredible block of LSU’s game-tying extra point attempt to punctuate its wacky 24–23 Week 1 victory over the Tigers. One team’s playmaking ability is often another team’s gaffe exploited. The fact is, LSU had issues that led up to that point, which in retrospect made the blocked kick an unfortunate culmination of a night of protection woes.
The Tigers actually made their first kick when Damian Ramos connected on a 36-yarder on the first drive of the game, but if you look closely you can see that the short kick could have been an early disaster.
