You'd have to dig into their studies posted on the LSU ag school website. My guess is that you don't want the grass going to sleep on a full stomach.
Or maybe nitrogen pushes weeds at that time and has no benefit to the grass. I'm not a warm season grass guy so I can't really help on this. Sorry.

Late season fertilization (especially with nitrogen) promotes growth. This new growth late in the year can be damaged easily by cold weather.
Everything I've read from LSUAgcenter says the products marketed to "winterize" your lawn does more harm that good. Late August should be the last time you apply fertilizer in South Louisiana.
As the weather cools, take care of the weeds in your lawn and stay on top of fungi. Then enjoy a full green-up next spring.
