Are we ready to discuss CEOs strategy of losing yards prior to the walkoff FG?

Sub-topic: extra risk with unnecessary handoffs?

He purposely lost yards? I must have missed that.

I don't think that was a strategy. I do think they should've kicked on third down, in case of a bad snap/hold.

38 yarder > 42 yarder.

He was making sure Cole Tracy was as clutch as advertised

3 QB sneaks accomplish the same thing with out losing the yardage when we get stuffed.

That clearly wasn’t the strategy.

But we also felt very very very comfortable with the FG within 50

So why take any risks.

Miles fricked up clocks at the end of games and this fan base lost it's shite. CEO and Ensminger lead a 5 minute walk-off win and we have threads like this. Can't fricking win.

How about setting up field position to make your kicker's job easier. That's a thing.

The kid already hit a 50+ yarder this year and has been nails. The ball was centered. I'm not sure worrying about 4 yards is the thing to do after beginning 3-0 while being the only team with 2 top 10 wins, much less having those wins away from home. I think we should be happy with where we are instead of nitpicking things.

Again, no one is saying that. But you can't discount what they did Saturday. When is the last time LSU got the ball with over 5 minutes left and went down the field and kicked a walk off FG? The answer is literally never.

Your post indicates that you would have blamed everything on O if Cole Tracy missed the FG.

Can be accomplished without handoffs. Fewer handoffs fewer risks.
