...that may be one of the worst examples of "under 4 minute" coaching last night I have seen in years. On both sides.

Bama's stuff has been debated. Meyer going with the long pass was unreal. That one play gave Bama another 40 seconds by itself.

Oh - and WHAT THE HELL is up with the REFS standing over the ball with a ticking clock (both game clock AND play clock) in the waning moments of a game.

Coaches need to start teaching centers to shove the ref out of the way and snap the ball.

Offensive subs. Refs have to give defenses time to sub as well

This should be your last comment on football.

I wasn't necessarily for Bama but I kept wondering where their sense of urgency was. We all know that Bama is capable of scoring in the last 2 minutes or so and they DO! What was with the lollygagging walking up to the LOS?

What about Briles coaching ? Teams have to have balance. You can't just throw 60x and win. You have to be able to run the ball. That's why I like our team. But, we have to be able to throw the ball also. We need at leas 200+ passing per game

Why? King Winston at FSU did it and got away with it! Bama isn't nearly as effective without Ritter and the SEC replay guys.

Yeah, they bad coached themselves all the way into the Playoffs.
I'll take either one of those gameday coaches over ours any day of the week.

Our offense still isn't any good.

It cost one team (Bama I think) a timeout.... with a stopped game clock, but the playclock continuing to run.... got down to 3 or 4 seconds and they had to call timeout because the ref is still over the ball.

Another time it cost Bama easily 8 or 9 seconds.

And then the Wisconsin scenario last year or the year before where it cost them the game.

Maybe a rule change where the clock pauses when the ref stands over the ball telling the offense not to snap it.

Yep - the best in the business can make some boneheaded calls.

But like Meyer said - if they complete the pass it's game over. But do you take that chance... low % chance for sure.

Has it? 7 straight 10 win seasons (sec record); 3 titles since 2009. Their down years in 2013 and 2014 saw them reach consecutive sugar bowls and win one SEC title.

Are correctly pointing out that the highest paid staff in CFB just went 8-5 and set back offensive football about 40 years.

They are really in your head aren't they?

I was talking about the last 2 minutes of last nights game and Bama's crappy approach to clock management.

You went full 1/9 Rantard butthurt...

LSU (and Les') only real weakness is the QB. Unfortunately that's a big weakness. I just wonder if he's cursed at this point.

I don't get our fans. You guys bitch about our coaches losing in the title game, but give praise to other coaches for losing a play off game. It doesn't make sense.

But at the same time diminish us winning a title game.

He has had 6 starting QBs

Russell
Flynn
JJ
JL
Mett
Jennings

3 of them started NFL games and 1 was signed.

I don't think that is cursed at this point.

Not defending our terrible offense, or Miles, but there has been talent at the QB position.

No doubt that Meyer should not have thrown 3 times from the 5 yard line or that long pass on 1st down.
However, when LSU got down 14 -0 on 1/12 against AL, that game was Done and Over with. Last night, Meyer came storming back and won the game.
Think it shows that even the best coaches make mistakes at crucial times and in big games.
