How did LSU not have a spy in that situation?

I think the movement on the o-line just gave everyone tunnel vision and assumed the QB was going to throw it like the last 2 point conversion in overtime

But he can run, and it's split wide, you have to have someone there spying the QB

Yeah I get it. I think that’s just a case of complacency in a sense. Everyone was so worried about the pass you don’t realize the middle is wide open
