So what happens when you get a stop? Bring out Peyton Manning and drive 90 yards? You still are going to need a 3 and out and a touchdown drive regardless of how bad your quarterback sucks. I'd take my chances stopping LSU from the 10(easiest place on field for a 3 and out since you only have to defend 20 yards of field) and then recieving a kickoff rather than a punt that likely pins Wisconsin inside your own 15.

Would you not?

At that point in time, they had just gotten gashed right up the middle on the previous two drives. There was a chance that they maybe would not have been gashed again, but we saw on LSU's drive to end the game, that they would have.

So let's say without knowing for sure, they take a knee. Ball ends up on the what, the 7 yard line? LSU could run the ball right up the middle for four times and it would drain over half the clock. They could also do it three times, then on the fourth, PA rollout and at best it's a TD, at worst, it's an EZ touch back int.
