The play came in late because coaches were still trying to weigh the risk versus the potential reward. It was fourth-and-4 at the LSU 29-yard line, and Syracuse had sent Riley Dixon, its senior punter, onto the field.
No, the Orange weren't punting, nor were they kicking a field goal.
They were going to gamble.
Dixon had practiced the fake field goal earlier in the week, but as the seconds ticked off the play clock, he looked to his holder, Ryan Norton, for support.
