I almost lost it yesterday, was coming in with a moderate xwind from the right on final I was configured with right wing down and left rudder heading straight down the middle, on roll-out I made a large banana to the left, I !!!! myself and had a brain freeze the roll-out ended still barely on the strip but almost into the long grass off to the left.

Sitting replaying it in my head I decided the problem was too much and continuous left rudder after touchdown due to "lead feet" because I panicked.

The lesson I learned is pedal the rudder on short final to get the feel of things and keeps the legs/feet loose
