Strategy this, strategy that, nah. I think he wanted to just be aggressive, to go down swinging. I think his fan base would have forgiven him because the spirit behind the call was to go for the jugular.

Easy to do when your FG kicker is good from 65

They were baiting Lane to use his last time out. Worst case, 5 yard delay and kick it. They were never going to snap it but then at the half yard line it was too tempting.

That was an absolutely moronic call by them, even though it worked in their favor...it was stupid. Too many things to go wrong possibly.

You can bet your sweet arse this scenario was practiced many, many times in the weekly game planning. Who knows what was going to happen had LSU not jumped offsides, but their planning obviously prevailed.

Think they didn’t even need to call time out.
Take delay of game & kick extra point from xtra 5 yards
