We had somebody upset that he didn't have a return man back for Wisky's last punt...I'm not going to attack that stupid argument.

Jennings looked fine to me. His decisions were good. Only negative was the screen execution. I don't get people complaining about not seeing Harris.

The early UW lead was aided by poor LSU tackling and a damn good RB in Gordon. Is that Les' fault?

Running up the middle against a stacked defense. You gotta keep em' honest. Nobody complained about that in the 4th qtr. I also don't think you want to win games with Jennings throwing 35+ times.

Am I missing something?

I'm disappointed the offense was so blatantly handcuffed for the first half, as it almost lost us the game.

Yet, when we were cut and bleeding, and were forced to score...we did.

The offense in the second half came out in attack mode because it had no other option. I just wish we would employ this offensive mindset regardless of what the score may be, or how much time has expired in the game.

You don't understand how much football these people have watched on tv or played on their xbox. They can coach circles around les....

Because it's the Rant

We could've won by 50 and someone would still be bitching about Miles

1. LSU didn't win by 100 points
2. LF didn't rush for 376 yards
3. Wisky made more than one first down
4. The beer in the stadium was warm

Why the insinuation there is some sort of widespread hate of Miles?

i feel as though wisconsin is a lot better than tcu was last year. they came out firing and popped is in the mouth early. the team looked like they were going through the motions. offensive playcalling was kind of forcing the pass when we should have ran more (10 carries in the first half). defensive line needs to be evaluated. im very pleased with the result of the game and am happy miles made the necessary adjustments in order to give the players a chance to win. the 4th quarter was great, very resilient group of men.

Because he needs to trust his players and open up the offense for them

Uh, because we looked totally unprepared the entire first half and basically got lucky that Wisky stopped feeding Gordon. That was not great coaching.

I thought it was a great team win. Just what this young team needed to start the maturity processes.

9 years at a program who has given you everything you want..... And at the most important position on the field, QB, you have what you have.

I don't see a lot of Miles hate this morning, but I don't see how anyone can justify our offensive scheme in the first half. It was like watching a bad re-run.

Why should this morning be any different than all the others after an LSU win?

Game was amazing. Tiger baiting the UW fans was the best part. Miles did a great job keeping them in it.

I don't hate LM but I do t love him the way some here do.

Fact is we looked lost, overmatched, and unprepared for 3qrtrs.

LSU was very fortunate to win.
If I were badger fan I'd be furious at coach for not running ball every play after they were up 17 on 3rd qrter.

Best we can hope for is improvement from defense and online and qb in particular each week .

Said that all last year with defense and never happened.... Anybody remember talk after second half vs auburn and uga game?

Ole miss and Alabama beat us because we were terrible on defense.
Idk, I'm seeing 3 losses maybe 4.
Hope they prove me wrong.

Nope.. The FACT that LSU was able to put the clamps down and turn it up on offense when it mattered most is TOTAL MILES FOOTBALL. We came back from 17 down late in the 3rd and won without great QB play... To me THAT itself makes me think LSU was the most impressive team Saturday.... This team can be real special........
