As an outside person watching Ole Miss go for 2 against LSU, i thought it was dumb at the time.

However watching Ole Miss get LSU to jump offside twice was great football.

Pete literally looked at Kiffin and said, “watch this, my team is more disciplined than yours.”

Great football watching

Not only that, but if LSU gets the ball and scores, there's an excellent chance Kiffin goes for 2. If you get the first offsides, you put the pressure back on Kiffin to go all the way down the field and get the conversion just to keep the game going.

He preemptively did to Kiffin what Kiffin wanted to do to him. It was beautiful.

Most likely everyone outside of East Baton Rouge Parish did as well.

The thread was started by a Tennessee fan. He just chimed in and said he liked ONE play.

You wanna see dickriding, just go back to last year and LSU fans and Indiana.

Hell, you guys were doing it for months.

It didn't matter but I still think it was dumb.

If they had missed the 2 pt conversion, all LSU has to do is march down the field and then kick the FG for the win.

It worked out and wasn't even needed. But I think there is a reason why the normal call is to kick the FG.

Agree on all points. Golding did a good job there. Hes got a kicker that can hit from 90, so who cares if playing around there resulted in a delay of game or a false start from his guys. The possibility on LSU screwing up was there, so he tried it. It worked. Tip your cap.

I mean it worked, so good for him. Had lsu been able to kick an xp for the win it would have gone down as the biggest WAOM moment in history.

LSU wasn’t set up to win in OT with no Green and leavitt struggling. We for sure would have gone for 2 if we scored and tried to win it in regulation. Pete knows kiffin and that likely played into it.

LSU was dog shite tired on that possession. Watching the Skyview broadcast, you could see all the huffing and puffing and hands on hips. Led to mental errors.

Good thing your undisciplined team jumped offsides…. Twice on the game winning 2pt conversion.

That’s my perspective. If a coach hangs his balls out and it works, he’s a genius. If it backfires, it’s his fault they lost the game. It would be a tough job, but I hear the pay’s decent.

LSU posters have been sporting the avatars of whatever team is playing Bama for the last 20 years.

They are supreme dickriders and without equal.

Even if it backfires and LSU scores and takes lead instead of throwing a pick, you've got 45 seconds with Chambliss to get into FG range for a guy who can hit from 60.

Pete laid his out on the table and dared Kiffin to match it. Lane came up short.

Is there a data set showing that going for 2 up 6 late is the best play?

I’d kick, but I’m a Luddite.

They’ve got so much “analytics” these days, but I’m not sure football lends itself to pure “analytics” as much as baseball or tournament golf.

I sort of consider football more situational.

Why did the Redskins not kick a short FG before the half yesterday?
