We had somebody upset that he didn't have a return man back for Wisky's last punt...I'm not going to attack that stupid argument.

Jennings looked fine to me. His decisions were good. Only negative was the screen execution. I don't get people complaining about not seeing Harris.

The early UW lead was aided by poor LSU tackling and a damn good RB in Gordon. Is that Les' fault?

Running up the middle against a stacked defense. You gotta keep em' honest. Nobody complained about that in the 4th qtr. I also don't think you want to win games with Jennings throwing 35+ times.

Am I missing something?

I'm disappointed the offense was so blatantly handcuffed for the first half, as it almost lost us the game.

Yet, when we were cut and bleeding, and were forced to score...we did.

The offense in the second half came out in attack mode because it had no other option. I just wish we would employ this offensive mindset regardless of what the score may be, or how much time has expired in the game.

You don't understand how much football these people have watched on tv or played on their xbox. They can coach circles around les....

Because it's the Rant

We could've won by 50 and someone would still be bitching about Miles

1. LSU didn't win by 100 points
2. LF didn't rush for 376 yards
3. Wisky made more than one first down
4. The beer in the stadium was warm

I suppose it's par for the course.

I am definitely pleased with the outcome. If we improve from here this season could be really fun.

Why the insinuation there is some sort of widespread hate of Miles?

i feel as though wisconsin is a lot better than tcu was last year. they came out firing and popped is in the mouth early. the team looked like they were going through the motions. offensive playcalling was kind of forcing the pass when we should have ran more (10 carries in the first half). defensive line needs to be evaluated. im very pleased with the result of the game and am happy miles made the necessary adjustments in order to give the players a chance to win. the 4th quarter was great, very resilient group of men.

No one is mentioning the guts that the team displayed. Most teams would have quit in those circumstances.

Because he needs to trust his players and open up the offense for them

LMFAO...us opening up the offense like we did is what got us behind. We didn't run the ball near enough in the first half. They had 5 mins more possession in the first half because we kept throwing the ball on first down

Uh, because we looked totally unprepared the entire first half and basically got lucky that Wisky stopped feeding Gordon. That was not great coaching.

Um, cant run the ball if the line doesnt block, or throw it for that matter.

He has been, and remains, a polarizing HC. He's a very good recruiter, but not an equally good HC, especially on game day. What we saw last night is a prelude to what LSU football is going to be for the remainder of his tenure. Now of this is new, and not really worth the effort to post it.

We had idiots behind us that bitched at miles for everything we did. They were screaming about taking the timeout before the two point conversion. One guy said, "Damn Miles just take the penalty you dumbass and kick the extra point." After we converted I just looked at my buddies and asked as loud as I could y'all still want to kick that extra point? Of course none of the guys behind us even said a word

I thought it was a great team win. Just what this young team needed to start the maturity processes.
