Is it me or does it seem that every opponent scored on their opening possession of the 2nd half this year? Further, it seemed as if the opponent made the correct adjustments and Miles abandoned what was working in the first half.

Example. Trindon, Shepard and Dickson disappeared in the 2nd half Saturday night. Did anyone notice how fluid the O was in the first half?

Its up to Miles' coaches to make halftime adjustments. He doesnt do it, just like he doesnt call plays. Pelini made good adjustments at halftime, but since then, not much.

Miles has never made any adjustments or is capable of making any adjustments during a game. If his game plan is not working LSU struggles, simple as that. It's getting OLD. To much talent to have games with Miss State, Ole Miss and Hogs come down to the wire.

Yes, you didn't notice how Arky didn't score a touchdown in the first half. He adjusted by taking away the pass rush and sending 3-4 in the second half. Worked like a charm, Arky scores 2 touchdowns second half.

Exactly, Let's throw in there the 07 UK game. Scott shredded their defense then didnt see the field till OT. Go back further to Tenn. 05. We are up 24-0 and didnt make any adjustments to Tennessees adjustments and it cost us the game.

Fact is Chavis improved out D to very competitive levels. Our issues this year were really on the offense.

Not to be inhumane, but are any of you aware tha L.M. had a major surgery on his brain before he took the LSU job when he was H.C. for the cowboys at OSU?

I question, his fire and attitude as H.C. at a high profile Football school located in the best conference from top to bottom team wise. Just review his interviews, his dispostition on issues to questions that he is confronted with. I'm not aware that most TV commentators and analyst are aware that Les went through such a scary and potentially mentally damaging operation in his past.

I wonder if this is affecting his current way of thinking? I wonder if he has the real intestinal fortitude with the quick wit and brain power to continue coaching and making necessary adjustments as the game goes on. He is evidently soft and seems to have adapted a laissez-faire attitude as the H.C. of this LSU football team. No, he doesn't make the necessary adjustments and he seems to be locked into a situation where most people running the A.D. at LSU these days are a victim of past circumstances. Can this be remedied; I don't know? I do know that if I was in a postition to get all the data in front of me as the people in charge of Atheletics there, I would. I wouldn't want to see L.M. and his family just thrown out and suffer, but a smooth transition should be able to be worked out legally for the best of this LSU program ASAP. Look at what N.D. and Michigan are currently facing and they don't have the same situation? If I was J.A. and involved in the running of the LSU athletic dept., I'd adopt an attitude for the betterment of the institution and my own personal integrity by: Concordia res parvae crescent.

And you know this how, jackass? Because maybe you don't know enough football to see the adjustments?

Go look up the second half stats for this season. Its atrocious. Anyone can see the other fellas are in control of the third quarter, all season long.
