: · Top Commenter ·People coaching pro football hardly ever pass up 3 points with an in front of the goalpost FG. And my friends thought at the time since LSU failed to score after using up three downs trying to make a TD, that Les Miles should kicked that high percentage FG. And go into the half up my 3 points, and receiving the ball to start the second half. That turn out to be a sound feeling to play the percentages instead of the fake FG that turnout not to be the right move in hind sight also. Because LSU did score another TD starting the second half. And what was that squib kicking stuff on the opening kickoff all about and throughout the football game, giving Notre Dame Field position?

The LSU man did break the goal line plane before he was down on the fake field goal, and that point difference would have made LSU the winner of that football game instead.

I think that because of that crazy turn of events over that FG that LSU mismanagement simply played into the hands of what Notre Dame was trying to do to win. And not playing Harris, not giving RB Leonard Fournette enough touches, not doing this, and not doing that, seems to me that Les Miles is in denial of his own mismanagement of the LSU football team. I wonder what Les Miles think is the reason that the LSU tigers lost that football game to Notre Dame fighting Irish?

It can’t be that the referees stole that LSU victory from him, right?
