    That team led the nation in 4th down conversions with an 81% average. Les was not rolling the dice, he was playing smart percentage football.

    I think one of them was from around midfield. That was the riskiest of them.

    I just looked it up:

    4th and goal at the Florida 1: Perrilloux runs it in for a TD (2nd Q, down 10-0)
    4th and 5 at the Florida 25: Flynn runs for 8 yards (I assume that was a pass play) (3rd Q, down 17-7) We would score a TD on the drive
    4th and 3 at the Florida 4: Flynn TD Pass to Byrd (4th Q, down 24-14)
    4th and 1 at the LSU 49: Hester for 2 yards (4th Q, roughly 7 minutes left)
    4th and 1 at the Florida 7: Hester for 2 yards (4th Q, down 24-21, roughly 2 minutes to go), LSU would score game winning TD

    I don't think Hester made that last first down by more than a foot.

    I also forgot Colt David missed 2 FGs that game.
