The deal is that he doesn't care if his offense is moving up and down the field scoring 50 points.

Like, it'd be nice if it did, but Miles' offensive philosophy is to play great defense, and use your offense to control tempo and field position so you can shorten the game and minimize mistakes that can change the game.

That's why we pound on people so much. To shorten the game and defeat teh will of the opposition. Even if it's a 8 play drive that ends up in a punt, that's a win because you changed field position and controlled the ball long enough to keep your D rested and in good field position.

When they can't, there's no chance of doing anything in that game.

Best Reply from a fan who really understands LSU football. We simply couldn't run the ball yesterday, which was why Les's offensive philosophy couldn't be executed.
