It was the right decision regardless of outcome.
We would have had to go right back out on offense and if we have to kick a FG then a TD beats us. If we score a TD again then they then have 4 downs and the refs frickery to answer. Then it goes to a 3rd OT and both teams have to start going for 2. I rather go for the win right there than have to play through all of that.

I agree. And I was screaming at the TV for Kelly to go for 2 vs. Florida St in the opening game.
If you ask any coach before any game that if he were given one play, from the 2 yard line to win the game would he take it? The answer would almost always be yes. Why give the ball back to your opponent to allow him the chance to win?
For Kelly was it a huge risk? Not really. The expectations for this season have never been high. He was in no danger whatsoever of being fired it he lost. LSU was not really in a spot where a missed conversion would end "playoff hopes" the fan base never really had in the first place. He was playing with house money.
You want to talk about balls. Tom Osborne's decision to go for 2 in the 1984 Orange Bowl (following the conclusion of the 1983 season) is the gold standard. A tie would have likely given Nebraska the national championship (or at least a share of it). Instead, he went for the win, undefeated season, and undisputed NC. THAT took huge "cajones"
