How many more games do we win during the Les Miles Era with a 2:00 warning?

We know that Les was always horrible with clock management. He would look confused and stand there with his finger in his ear as time ran out. A 2:00 minute warning might have benefited a coach like him.

I say we win the 2009 Ole Miss time clock debacle for sure and possibly the 2006 Auburn ref-gate game when we came up just short at the end (winning that game could have ended up resulting in a natty for us because we would have had a rematch with Florida in the SEC Championship Game).

Any others I’m missing?

I’ll never forget in his first game at ASU him running to call a timeout right after we intercepted the ball.

We probably lose more because many times we were grinding down the clock, punting late to the other team and butt puckering for a final defensive stand.

No way the officials were letting us win that game. Even with a 2 minute warning.

I know as LsU fans, we like to complain that the refs are always cheating us. Well that AU 2006 game is the one where I actually believe it was true.

Never underestimate Les' ability to frick things up.

Probably... few more than the 10 win average, for what 11 seasons? Get off Les' arse.

Whatever advantage we would gain would be offset with his nonstop jabbering on the helmet microphone in between plays. It's bad enough waiting on the play call but to have to listen to Les discuss possible plays or what type of BBQ to get as the clock runs down would drive a qb nuts.

A 2 minute warning wouldn’t have helped with 09 ole piss. He blew that by taking too long to use timeouts after plays.
