LSU football: Top 10 plays of 2015

Les Miles has been rightfully dubbed the “Mad Hatter” for his outlandish playing style and attitude over the years. The Florida Gators have been the primary target of LSU’s gutsy calls and wild plays.
Every LSU fan remembers the 2007 matchup, when the Tigers went 5-for-5 on fourth down attempts during a 28-24 victory over No. 8 Florida.
Three years later, a fake field goal consisted of holder Derek Helton flipping the ball over his head to kicker Josh Jasper, only for it to hit the ground and bounce right up to Jasper, who ran for a first down. Soon after, Jarrett Lee hit Terrence Toliver in the end zone to give LSU a 33-29 win over the No. 14 Gators.
The Mad Hatter struck again this year.
Instead of opting for a go-ahead field goal with the game tied at 28, Miles called for another fake. Kicker Trent Domingue bobbled the throw from Brad Kragthorpe, but he eventually found a grip and scampered for a 16-yard touchdown to put LSU ahead. The Tigers held on to the 35-28 lead, earning their third straight win over Florida.
