Brian Kelly: LSU 'grew up' in every facet by answering Bama challenge

BATON ROUGE, La. -- LSU coach Brian Kelly made the decision to go for two against Alabama sound simple.

"If you asked me, 'Hey, I'm going to give you one play and if you're successful on that one play, you beat Alabama,' I would've taken that 100 times out of 100," he said.

Kelly was able to smile about his gambit on Saturday night because it worked. After answering the Crimson Tide's touchdown in the first overtime with a touchdown of their own, Kelly and the Tigers passed on kicking the extra point to play a second overtime and instead opted to go for two and the victory.
