its simple with a 1:30 something seconds left we are 1st and goal inside the 25 cause of a penalty , and you lay up and only run 20/30 seconds of the clock to set up a field goal ,, conservative and conservative cost us a game which those boys deserved to win . he could atleast took 2 shots at the end zone and then ran to middle of field and then field goal ..

Taking shots at the end zone could have easily resulted in a turnover and no chance to take the lead. Conservative? Yes. But likely the right call.

3 point lead with 50 seconds, and no timeouts. If you are gambling, you are betting LSU wins, especially when you start taking into account things like:

Bama struggling on 0
Our defense playing well
The stadium

One play here or there ends this game. Mills sacking Sims on the blitz probably ends the game. No personal foul probably ends the game. Hell, if we don't kick it out of bounds, are chances of winning are much greater. 15 yards at a minimum.
