Total Offense:
USC 82

Towson 54 (in FCS)
Interesting tidbit on Towson. They have a mobile QB who rus...

| Leadership, and how most of you know nothing about it. - tenacious on 1/12/12 at 12:54 pm
I am the leader of an organization, and I've learned a lot in this role that makes me more forgiving of coach Miles than many of you seem to be. Here are a few facts about leadership that I'd like for some of you to consider before you continue to pile on coach Miles:
1. Leaders care more about ...

| This team reminds me of Florida in 1995 - tenacious on 1/10/12 at 6:48 pm
Undefeated SEC Champs, on top of their game, and a ton of swagger. Then they went to the title game and got absolutely embarrassed by Nebraska, 62-24. Tommy Frazier ran all over them, and all that swagger went down the drain.
The next year (1996) they won the SEC again and destroyed #1Fla St, 52...

Can you think of another program that could lose a Heisman hopeful, their leading rusher, and one of their best db's and still be expected to beat a top 20 opponent? The cupboard is full, people. The coaching staff has done a fantastic job of recruiting. Despite these off-field issues, it's a great...

I am, of course, speaking of Africa's Honey Badger and LSU Football's Tyrann Mathieu. Despite their obvious similarities - a blonde mane, the ability to not give a sh...

| Can't believe how many tackles we missed - tenacious on 9/26/11 at 8:36 am
Mo Claiborne swung the momentum back to LSU on that fantastic return, but he missed a ton of tackles in the game. For a guy who everyone says is faster than PP7, he sure can't tackle anything like Peterson. PP7 wrapped people up, and if they did complete a pass on him, he clamped down on the WR and ...

| Here's this Team's weakness... - tenacious on 9/19/11 at 9:09 am
Like nearly every team we've fielded over the past 7 seasons, this LSU team lacks the ability to separate from their opponent. They did it against Oregon, but O turned the ball over several times. If teams don't turn the ball over, our offense isn't designed to score points quickly and create early ...

Miles has compiled one of the most impressive records in college football in his time at LSU. He is 62-17 as the LSU coach in 6 years, compared to Michigan's record of 42-33 during the same period. Miles has won 23 games over foes ranked among the nation's top 25, and has five-straight recruiting ...

Auburn's Gene Chizick has a tough soul. Remember when an Auburn fan shouted at him to go home while he was still on the tarmac before he was even announced as the Auburn coach? Man, if that moment didn't steal your soul, what possibly could?
Well, I'm glad you asked. There is a simple answer. ...

I have a theory about Les Miles. I don't think he just wants to win. I think he wants to steal souls. If you've watched opposing coaches at their post game press conferences after playing LSU, it's clear that they are only shells of their pre-game selves.

I know PP was penalized for that little Heisman pose Saturday night, but it was pure genius. He has single handedly thrust LSU into the national spotlight.

| Drop Coverage - tenacious on 9/7/10 at 8:55 am
I kept wondering during Saturday's game why our defense wasn't dropping DE's into coverage to take away some of the short slants that UNC was converting at will. Marcus Spears used to drop into coverage quite a bit and picked off several passes. I remember him doing that in the NC game against OU....
