Jim Rome yesterday about Les

In case you missed it, here's Jim Rome's take on Les Miles yesterday on his ESPN show "Jim Rome Is Burning":





Jim Rome / 9-23-2008

Personally, I don’t think there’s any doubt USC is the best team in America. Although, you know you’d get an argument from Georgia…Florida…Oklahoma…maybe even Missouri, or BCS buster BYU. But the one team you don’t want to sleep on, is the defending national champion LSU Tigers, because you don’t want it to go to the score cards against the defending champs! You’re going to have to knock them out to beat them.

Auburn found that out again Saturday night at home. Down 11 at half, in a hostile environment, where they hadn’t won in a decade, Les Miles went “Les Miles” in the locker room, came out…gambled huge on the field and as always, it paid off!

Clearly, these guys just are not afraid. And they play well from behind! No matter how badly things are going, someone will step up and make plays. In this case, it was quarterback Jarrett Lee. Lee had a terrible start, then watched as Andrew Hatch went all googly-eyed and punch drunk after a big hit and then Lee just hulked out and put the team on his shoulders. He threw an absolute “dime on the game” winner proving once again…it doesn’t matter how many guys they sent to the NFL, you can never count-out a Les Miles team out.

Despite all those losses, and all those questions at quarterback, it’s looking more like a reload than a rebuild. And that “brass set” that Les Miles has is “second to none”.
