When LSU fullback J.C. Copeland was just a step away from barreling into the end zone in the first quarter at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night, Tigers quarterback Zach Mettenberger raised his arms in celebration. While Mettenberger assumed it was a touchdown, Alabama linebacker Tana Patrick knocked the ball from Copeland's arm before he crossed the plane. Alabama defensive back Landon Collins recovered the ball and LSU came up empty on its first trip int the red zone.
CBS announcers Gary Danielson and Verne Lundquist seemed to know what happens when someone assumes something — and it has to do with ass, you and me.
"I know you're not supposed to assume things but Zach Mettenberger assumed a touchdown on this one,"
Danielson said during a replay of the turnover. "Verne, you know that word can be broken apart."
"Mmmmm-hmm," replied Lundquist." Nicely put. That was very subtle."
