Just wondering how Les has performed as an underdog since he has been the head coach at LSU

How many times has he been the Dog?

Underdog wins are plentiful for Nutt as he is always the underdog.

Are you referring to Corch Miles? It's no longer "coach.". It's "Corch.". The new precedent was established in a previous thread.

More like.."coitch" if your reffering to certain pronunciations.

There might be maybe 6 games in 5 years LSU wasn't the favorite

LSU was an underdog vs Tech in last year's bowl game. They did fine in that one.

Being ranked lower doesn't mean that Vegas didn't have them as favorites.

I know. ESPN still has the lines up on the site. I just put the rankings there also.

If that were the case, I would have put #5 LSU's win over #4 Alabama in 2005 up there. LSU was favored in that game, even though it was in Tuscaloosa because of Bama's piss poor offense.

No, LSU was a 5 point dog at Tennessee and a 2 point one at Arkansas in 2006.

I'm getting conflicting reports. I see something that says LSU was a 4.5 point favorite at Tennessee. I don't know what ESPN was using that showed Tennessee favored by 5.

not many, because LSU is always over rated.
