The games that turned Les into a legend

In my opinion there were two.
The first one was 2010 LSU 24 Bama 21. Absolutely no one expected us to win this game. Miles best coaching performance. The game was not as close as the score indicated. That was a beatdown. After this game, there was no doubt that Les was our coach.
The second one was 2011 LSU 40 Oregon 27. Once again most "experts" expected LSU to lose. The Ducks might end up being the best team we play this year, but are certainly the best we have played so far. Another masterful coaching job by Les. He really had us ready. Here's a point I have not heard anyone of the "experts" mention this week. Maybe Bama has better defensive stats than we do so far, but the Tide didn't play Oregon or West Virginia, much better offenses than any team on their schedule. I believe if we had played their schedule, our stats would be better than theirs.
While our 2008 BCS championship game was outstanding, and some might put this in the list, we had Ohio State outmanned and LSU owned the Buckeyes in this game.

Alabama had already been beaten by USCe when LSU played them.

VaTech in 07, Florida 07, AUBURN 07 that last call to throw it up to Byrd in the endzone was fricking legendary. I also believe the beatdown we handed GaTech a few years ago was a great one, then of course Bama last year.

Don't forget @ Bama 05; they were undeafeted and the silence in BDS when JR completed TD pass to DB to end it was priceless!
