I don't recall Miles screwing up against Tennessee and GA in 05, Florida and Auburn in 06 and Kentucky and Arky in 07. Tennessee we had a big lead and they came back. GA we had played 11 weeks in a row and the team was tired. In 06, penalties costs us the Auburn and UF games and turnovers did as well. The Kentucky game was similiar to the Tennessee game. Had a big lead and let them come back. My only question was why not see Scott till the last play of the game. For Arkansas, they just had our number with the wildcat.

In none of these games did time management come into effect. I know those of you like to point out the Auburn game, but we would have had at least 2 seconds to kick the FG. I watched it again and the timekeeper let 1 or 2 seconds click off after Byrd made the catch.

So it appears the clock management problem has been a big issue this year, but not before. Just trying to figure out why all of a sudden.

Apparently you missed the last drive before halftime of the 2005 UT game. You know, the one where LSU was at about UT's 20 yd line but let the clock run out without a field goal oppurtunity (those 3 points win the game). There was mass confusion as Jamarcus and the team tried to line up for a spike while Les sent out the field goal unit and LSU had about 20 players on the field as time expired.

ETA: Les also tried to call a timeout after a turnover during the last minute of regulation. Sounds like clock management issues to me.

Wrong, we saw it in Les' FIRST GAME IN TIGER STADIUM.

yes, and what kills me is how long it takes to get the play to the field. what the hell changed that takes so long for the play to be decided on and communicated to the field. JJ had no time to view the field and audible if needed. if appeared the dysfunctionality originated with the offensive coordinator.
