McMurphy found that the majority of the coaches used the word hungry, and two SEC coaches — Will Muschamp and Dan Mullen — used it. Mark Richt used the word ‘wow’, while Les Miles used the word ‘unknown’. I wonder if Miles used the word unknown as the actual description of his team, or if that was the first word that came to his mind?

We are going into season #10. By now we should all know Les doesn't give away shite. He fricks with the media. Les is now the 3rd longest tenured coach.

Sounds spot on to me. Lots of freshman, don't know who is starting at QB, replacing a good deal of players, and great recruiting class coming in.

Looking at it objectively this team is some what of am unknown this year, we will know a whole whole lot more once the games start.

Unknown to the outside or the perimeter, as Les likes to say.

He like us. He likes us in every game.

He also said this is his fastest team ever so Les knows what's up. To say your team is hungry is ok but that doesn't mean they will be good or even play well. It sounds good to the media but they might get fed a bunch of Magee, Hilliard and Fournette and not like it.

Les is being truthful in that you really don't know until you put it on the field. Every CFB team looks good in practice and a majority of teams think they can compete for a NC until they step on the field and get their butt kicked.

when Les said unknown, he was not using it in reference to the defense, he was saying that the one word ESPN asked for used to describe the defense is unknown

"Unknown" probably the most accurate description I've heard yet. If you listen to what Miles says he usually picks his words very accurately. The words don't always fit together as well as we would like. However, they are always well chosen.

I think he is saying how unknown his team is to the media and others.
