They work more often than if we had kick a fg with 0 seconds left.

didn’t they convert a third and long for about a 60 yd. td? and had another one called back?

Not a REALISTIC chance. How often to 60+ yard hail marys work?
I feel like so many of you are missing the point. Yes , we won the game but there was ZERO need to leave them any time left. It was a clock management mistake that didn’t matter really bc we did win the game but if they had pinballed that ball around and took it to the house everyone in the state would be calling for Kelly’s head. That was really bad and almost everyone in the stadium last night with any football knowledge knew it.

It's simple football knowledge. If you have the capability to prevent this, you prevent it. Why would you want to chance it so you end up another Bluegrass Miracle? You can try to spin it all you want it was shitty clock management period.
Since you can't seem grasp the larger picture here I'll explain it to you. It might show a bigger symptom that's starting to rear their ugly head on this team which revolves around coaching. It's not just clock management. Look at the defense and the misuse of several good athletes on top of not adjusting the scheme to player strengths or making timely adjustments. House has a refusal to change his complex scheme and it forces LSU to struggle to get guys like Womack or the necessary position for Perkins to make impacts. You have Harris handicapped into a complex scheme when his athleticism screams man coverage. This is on House and BK.
If you want to see a good DC, go back and watch Aranda's defenses. He would change his scheme based on personnel and strengths. He was an absolute magician. House and BK are forcing something the players are not comfortable in and they shite the bed in recruiting for it too.

But the point is, why did he give them any chance at all?
Let’s say Hail Marys have a 1% chance. That’s still a whole lot better than 0%. Which would have been their chance if we kicked the FG as the final play of the game.

Well, one I remember was LSU Vs Kentucky- called the Bluegrass Miracle.
We kicked the field goal with 7 or 8 seconds on the clock. If Les Miles was there as coach he would have lost the game. He never managed the clock and rarely knew time was running out. Remember Auburn Vs LSU 2007, we were behind and only needed a field goal to win he called for Flynn to throw a pass into end zone with about 12 - 15 seconds left on clock. Sideline coaches were hollering at Miles, time time was by running out, kick a field goal. Flynn threw a pass left end zone to Demetrius Byrd with an Auburn defender literally hanging all over his body. Flynn threw the perfect pass and Byrd was able to catch it with Auburn defensive player hanging onto Byrd’s whole body. A miraculous play. I was there, Tiger stadium was the loudest I had ever heard while inside stadium. Auburn I don’t believe had any time left, game over LSU wins. Thrilling win.
