My problem with the play was it could have easily been picked off. It wasn't like the LSU receiver was wide open. The defender was in a good position to make a play on the ball, he just screwed up. If you have a decent kicking game there is no reason to go for the td in that situation.

Not sure about that. It seemed like a pretty safe deep pattern, and the way Flynn had been playing I would trust him to make a safe throw and not take a sack. I'm honestly not being results oriented here -- I like the call.
(Chance at a TD) + (very makable FG attempt) - (small chance at interception + small chance of sack) > very makable FG attempt.
EDIT to concede: There is a good chance this was nothing close to Les Miles' thought process.
I don't care. WE WON!!!!111
