I have to agree...2007 was the most epic football season I have ever seen play out. honestly, that is the kind of season we all hope we will see at least once in our lifetime.

Why in the hell did Flynn throw the game ball away after the last snap? He could have saved that sucker

The most impressive aspect of that season to me is simply after the first three blow out wins, the injuries hit the Tigers extremely hard among the starters and LSU had to scrap for everything. After the SEC CG the time allowed them all to heal and the results speak for themselves.

Also quite true, unfortunately.

After 2007, it became clear that quiet order would do Miles no favors. He’d recruit brilliantly but squander talent, particularly on offense. His carefree approach to clock management would become a running gag, his fake field goals would eventually only work on Florida, and LSU would wane as Nick Saban categorized, analyzed, and systematized the SEC into little more than Bama’s strip mine.
2007 was Miles at his best, but the flip side was 2011, when a phenomenally talented LSU showed up to the BCS Championship without anything resembling an offensive game plan. What Miles could profit from in chaos, he could waste in order. The decline began in earnest; by the time Miles was fired in 2016, quirks that were endearing had become intractable frustrations, even when his teams were still competitive.

Nov. 23: Les Miles tops LSU’s first triple OT loss as No. 1 by losing in triple OT at home as No. 1 to unranked Arkansas, whose head coach, Houston Nutt, leaves three days later for Ole Miss, where he replaces Ed Orgeron, who eventually replaces ... Les Miles. The Tigers are undefeated in regulation.
This is great.

Most fun I've had in my life watching not only LSU but college football was in 2007

Good article. Can't believe it's been ten years.
this concept applied to every team but Alabama in the BCS era.
