My point is, his REFUSAL to throw the ball or spread the field some let opposing defenses stack the box and focus on Fournette and it cost the kid the Heisman.
Yes, but I differ in your analysis. Miles did not refuse to throw the ball. He and his staff did not develop the basic passing game throws like screens, slants, and flats to aid the offense early in the season so he could use it when the box was stacked. Hell Bama did not even have to stack the box because they knew LSU could not run a possession type passing game. This turned out to be the fatal blunder of the year.
If LF was going to win the Heisman and LSU had the same three losses many of the fans who wanted to fire him would have given him a pass...

Actually Bama stacked the line until they had a firm lead. Then, it had no reason to stack the line, using more players in coverage to keep the passing game out of the game.
QB could not execute the passes. Want to call QB development, then I will agree. Saying Miles cost a kid a trophy is just bulls($.
