Taking trends completely out of the equation, people just need to accept that Les Miles is never going to do more than necessary to win.
It can be frustrating, and I think sometimes he puts too much pressure on the defense in the process. But save a couple of games over the last 3 years, he's had success doing it.

and his style of play has been more successful than the coaches who are pass happy.

To be fair, and obviously generally-speaking, I actually would much rather lose putting the game in the hands of our defense (our stronger unit) than putting the game in the hands of our offense (our weaker unit).
In other words, I would be really pissed if we tried something on offense that ended up losing us a game when we have a defense that wasn't going to give up anything and didn't even give them a chance to win us the ballgame.
You are right....this style sometimes does put a lot of pressure on the defense, but I guess my point is that given the strengths and weaknesses of the respective units, I would MUCH RATHER the pressure be on our defense than to have the pressure on our offense.

I am by no means a Miles hater, but I can damn well be critical of what I saw on the field against a team that gave up 38 points to ULM. Excuses about mistakes are just that, LSU can not continue to run consistently when playing good teams with 8 or 9 in the box.
