re: Did miles cost LF7 a heisman

No. Ed Orgeron did. With Miles as the coach, Fournette was playing hurt, and still averaging around 140 yards/game. that's enough to be in the Heisman conversation, and he would have padded his numbers against some of the worse teams on the schedule.

But Coach O had the guts to sit Fournette and let him fully heal the ankle. It absolutely cost Fournette a shot at the Heisman... and it made LSU a better team for the stretch run. It was the right call. Team goals come first.
