The fix was in (LSU coach didn't take a knee up 7 but running back doesn't score in a pair of attempts)

I had a heated discussion with somebody over this. We both were drinking vodka and Red Bull’s and almost fought.
That’s something we practice," Orgeron said. "Down-down. We can run the clock out. That’s what you do.”
My beef with this statement is taking a couple knees would have been just as good here after he went down. They continue to line up and run plays. No doubt it was a jab at gamblers. I have no doubt about it.

I had Arkansas, and when I saw the kid from LSU break free I thought for sure he would score, but then he does the smart thing by going down, all they had to do was take a knee a couple times and the game is over, but then I see they run the ball trying to score, not once but twice, it's only a 7 point game, if they fumble and Arkansas gets it anything can happen, it made no sense for Orgeron to be running plays in that spot, I still have no clue why he didn't just take a knee. The back was smart enough to do the right thing, but the coach was dumb enough to run two more plays. I was literally yelling at the TV, "Take a fucking knee, what the hell are you doing". The game wasn't fixed, but it sure seemed like Orgeron wanted that last TD, maybe he knew the line and figured what the hell, let's try to "keep the boosters happy" type thing. Whatever his reasons it was beyond dumb.

The first time I recall a player going down near the goal line was someone from the Eagles doing it, Westbrook maybe. The back might be getting money, a lot of these guys do, but not to intentionally not score at the end, just a heads up play by him

Coach Ed was on coach pete staff at USC 2003-2007 when he went out of the way to cover, they also need style points to get back in final 4. many coaches play it out and don't take knees, spurrier at Fla never did either
Until they fumble and the other team scores to tie the game, then its not so dumb
Remember Baylor-UNLV during the John Robinson era.
I believe the dumb coach was Kevin Steele.

You got a good memory jk.
Maurice Drew did it. I can't remember what nil team it was.

Heim, you're smarter than this. Let's say he scored, LSU goes up 14 with a minute and change to play, the likelihood of them winning would be extremely high, but there's still a chance something crazy happens. Now, let's consider what should have happened by him going down, with as little time that was left and Arky with no timeouts all LSU has to do is take a knee two times and the game ends, there's a zero percent chance they lose by taking a knee, there's the slimmest of chances they lose by scoring. I still have no idea how the kid could be smart enough, and have the awareness in that moment to just go down, while the idiot coach is running more plays.

What if one of the Arkansas defenders punched the football out there? Can you imagine?
We have to come to grips with the fact people do know the point spread. Whether players, coaches, people know the odds.
