This dude has the #5 team in the nation. At home. At night. No one is giving him a chance to out coach Saban. He know that when we get inside the 5, we can't run up the gut 3 times and kick FGs and rely on his defense only. He has to come out and get after Bama. That's really why I see us winning this one. I was never a Miles fan, but in a game that he knows he could lose and not just 'out talent' the other team, he will coach his arse off.

Let's hear it.

absolutel. Did you see how cool this cat is on tv yesterday? Les ain't worried about a damn thing, and it's not because he doesn't care about the outcome.

We got this shite.

I hope you're right, but I would be surprised if he breaks his conservative, stubborn mould.

Bo vs. Woody. Les vs. Nick. That's all we need to say...

He won't out coach Saban, but we can definitely win

Sure why not. He's did it on 1/9. Oh wait....

One of the keys is not necessarily to completely out coach Saban. The gump players have not had to face any true adversity this year on the field except trailing to Ole Piss for about 15 seconds (and getting their asses chewed by Saban).

Saban cannot be on the field to execute FOR his players. Looking at the recent games we need to force the gumps to "press." Pressure their QB and stop the run. Force them to make plays and get them to make some mistakes.

Very accurate statement. Miles usually looks like a better coach than Saban in games like this.

. Is not a given that he "knows this", its your speculation. For sure this will make the difference in winning or losing the game, however.

Miles knows how to beat Saban. He is the only coach in the country that does and doesn't get intimidated. I think he will be spot on in his decisions in this one.

this game is tailor made for Les if for no other reason than it always seems he can steal the soul of an opponent with his dufus rope a dope routine.

Dooley, Urban, Tubberville, etc. The Reaper is due for a return to Death Valley.

The "Mad Hatter" returns! Keep this under the table. Only Tiger fans need to know what's coming. We know our coach very well. He will break out his A game just like his players. LSU always seems to rise to the occassion when they are united. Jan. 9th will soon be forgotten. Geaux Tigers!
