I hope time management mistakes don't catch up to us

I know this subject has been :beatdeadhorse: for a long time, but I was just watching the replay on YouTube, LSU, 1st and goal from the 2, 1:06 left on the clock. The give to Blue, no gain, or a 1 yard loss. The clock ran from 1:06 to 24 seconds before the 2nd down play was run, give to Hilliard, stopped. Time out 15 seconds left, 3rd and goal, delay of game coming out of the timeout, incomplete pass, helmet flies, 4th down 5 seconds left.

These coaching blunders against an Alabama, Florida, or Georgia will possibly cost us a season.

These "Scratch your head" moments from Les Miles are what pisses fans off. His record speaks for itself, he is a great coach, a good man, and an even better recruiter, but his game/time management skills also speak for themselves.

Fans get called negatigers for complaining about these bonehead coaching mistakes, Blast away at me, but I speak the truth, his game/time management decisions could cost this talented team a BCSC

Never going to see a perfect game. I'm happy if 90% goes right.

The clock management was actually good. I'm sure the coaches and most fans wanted to score a TD, but how can you complain with 3 points while leaving TCU with no chance to score. Keep in mind, TCU had already returned a kickoff for a touchdown earlier in the game.

The delay of game is inexcusable, but what's wrong with the clock management? LSU put points on the board and didn't give TCU the chance to return a kick or run a play. Seems like a pretty good job of managing the clock to me.

WOW!! Thanks BGSB for that insightful and original assessment of the state of the LSU program. I ewspecially like the fact that you pointed out that LSU can't make mistakes against Alabama, Florida, Georgia (who as we all know are far superior to LSU and never make mistakes) and win. That point alone is what separates you from the average rantard. Huzzah to you.

Throwing an pass on third down, which was incomplete thereby stopping the clock with just enough time left to get a field goal kicked is truly a dumb mistake. LSU should have kicked that field goal with 60 seconds left. That would have given time to get a kick off in and maybe let TCU get a run back for a TD which we all know would have been a good thing. That would have made for a more exciting game wouldn't it?
Thanks so much for being the first to point that out to us.

All I can say is, I'm glad the 10 second run off thing was an official mistake, and maybe you're right, I just felt we missed a golden opportunity for a touchdown there, 1st and goal from the 2.

Clock management was actually perfect. The only blunder was on the officials part, but they corrected that. We haven't had clock management issues for a few years now. In my oppinion, our team looks great. We will be dialed in and all of the rust will be knocked off by the first SEC game. I can't wait!

This is a classic example of a SUPER tard trying to shoehorn a series of events into the narrative he wants to believe in.

You probably don't know anything about anything, but I can't attest to that. All I know is you don't know ANYTHING about football!!

good post.
how'd you feel about lm wearing a jacket during the game?

what did you really feel about the new uniforms?

I know you could find lots of other things to post about. please keep posting. very reflective of your intelligence and age. you must be very smart and mature. don't let these old fogies get in the way of showing your wisdom.

there are some diehards on here that do that shite regarding every game. they are the peanut gallery. they find a play or a series that didn't go well and amplify it dramatically and offer it as proof that miles is terrible. it's like LSU should play a perfect mistake free game in all facets of the game or miles sucks. it is amazing that these people actually watch LSU play football; it can't be fun for them.

You can't be serious? We got a penalty following a time out, the pass by Mett if complete would have had time expire, and if the refs had not caught their error we would have had nothing.

Not sure how the clock went from 1:06 to 0:24. There is a 25 second play clock so I doubt your times are accurate.

There's a difference between a nicely executed series and poor time management in said series.

A four down series can be poorly executed at times yet still have good time management. The series you're complaining about was one with mistakes (delay of game penalty) yet had pretty good time management given that we scored as time rolled off the clock.








Why is it that so many 'fans' are equating the mistakes on this series as time management ones? The time issue at the end was *very clearly* on the refs and CLM was the one who calmly talked to them and pointed out their mistake. Dude should be getting praised for that, yet a rather vocal minority of fans want to dump on him...huh.

I just want the best Grandad, I have been 1 to jump on Miles at times, but it's not because I think he's a bad coach, I've come to respect him, how could I not with his record. Bottom line is I want him to annihilate Saban. I don't have a problem admitting when I'm wrong, I'm not an expert as you can see, but I am a fan, and have been watching/listening to LSU football since the days of John Ferguson was the play by play guy. My judgement's of coaching have been wrong many times and will be again, but I'm a true fan, win or lose, and not a hater.
