Kirk Herbstreit struggled No feelings during the third quarter of Saturday’s LSU-Alabama game when trash was thrown on the field, causing the game to be postponed.

In what has become a recurring problem in college football, the officiating crew threw a flag that the home fans disagreed with, and in an attempt to delay the game, LSU fans showered one of the end zones with bottles and other debris.

As LSU staffers worked to clear the end zone, Herbstreit set the participating fans on fire.

“Why did that have to be a thing this year? Some idiots are doing this in Texas and now all of a sudden we see it popping up in college football,” Herbstreit said during the game broadcast. “Enough is enough, clowns. What are you doing?

“This is just stupid. Just embarrassing for LSU, it’s embarrassing for college football. Simply, enough is enough across the country.”

Bradyn Swinson and Sai’vion Jones went to Milroe to take him down for a loss and kill the Alabama drive on the Tide’s own side of the 50, but a facemask penalty was called on Jones that not only extended the drive, but Alabama also pushed to the other side. midfield.

Milroe scored 4 plays later on a 19-yard keeper, putting Alabama up 28-6.
