LSU reporter Emily Dixon recently caught up with Les Miles after practice on Thursday and talked with him about this weeks' preparation heading into the home opener against Jacksonville State.

One of the questions Dixon asked Miles was what he has seen from both LSU quarterbacks Brandon Harris and Danny Etling throughout this week of practice.
quote:

"Both quarterbacks have thrown the ball better this week than they did weeks prior," Miles said. "Both have a little edge. They want to play, there is competition there. It's all good."

LSU takes on Jacksonville State in Tiger Stadium this Saturday at 6:30pm CT on ESPNU.

Translation: "Brandon Harris has the fanbase on the edge of a cliff and Etling will never leave the edge of the bench."

Didn't Cam say the offense was on fire a couple weeks ago? These jokers just keep on making up stuff.

He must've secretly implied it was a dumpster fire, which it is. The offense alone lost the football game for us.

Don't blame Harris. Harris, Etling, or even Drew Brees- none will or would be successful in the ineptitude of Miles and Cameron. Don't forget that Cameron was recommended to Miles by Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome, who bleeds Crimson as a Bama alum. Ozzie told me that personally-with a smile.

The QB's are playing for free, how about we have competition at the Head Coach position ($4 Mil/year).

LF will go for 300 yards against an inferior team and Harris will go 6-10 for 99 yards and they'll call the offense "fixed."

Please quit reporting these and quit asking Coach Miles football related questions. Ask he what he actually is interested in at this point in his life, which is Thanksgiving left overs, bowling, vacationing.

The man has no interest or knowledge of his current football team.

Miles, like McFarland & Spears tell you, you play in a phone booth and are Stone Age. The Wisc loss is a new low, an OOC loss, scoring less pts than in the 3 game skid that got you fired. Miles is so clueless, obtuse, and pigheaded he is blaming Harris, the #1 DTQB when he committed, who would be a Heisman contender at CLEM, HOU, or any offensive-minded school. LF only had 35 yds on 11 carries in the first half, got re-injured, and Guice fumbled. The only scoring drive was 49 yds, 2 plays in 16 seconds - Tempo and Spread, aka, Scheme helps.
Miles/Cam did not open the offense or visit other programs as they promised. They set new lows for Pass ATTs in 2014-15, ranking last in the SEC and 120th in the FBS, with the slowest, least spread, 1-dimensional 'O' 3 yrs running, a 9-9 SEC-W, 14-10 SEC record. The Ravens fired Cam for his 5-yr failure to develop an offensive identity, develop Flacco or protect him, no tempo, spread, or Passing game. His 3-WR utilization (28%) was the lowest in the NFL, long isolation routes into double teams.

Miles/Cam lost 3 consecutive SEC West games in double-digit blowouts not seen since 1966. Dinardo lost 3 SEC games in 1999, 2 yrs after he let his "Chavis" DC go and he was fired like Miles was after ARK, sans a Jindal/Stanley Jacobs political crony pardon.
Miles blamed player execution not his Coaching, said he did not give a damn, was not going to change, and would continue to pick the plays that fit his out-dated scheme, confirming what other coaches, and his own coaches say - It is not the players, but his stubborn, pigheaded, failure to evolve. QBs & WRs "come to LSU & block for Leonard" was openly voiced frustration by Dural, Dupre, Tyron Johnson, Quinn and by a TEAM whose skill players were under-utilized in pursuit of a Heisman.

Etling won't see any meaningful action.

This is Les subtly implying that QB play (i.e Harris) is to be blamed for the loss and upcoming season. By giving fans 'hope' that the backup QB could get in there, he's simply saying 'I don't have a good qb and that's why we're losing'. He knows his job is on the line.

more nonsense from the mouth of Les. Gibberish - as always. It's cute when we're winning, but it's worn thin.

Literally impossible for both quarterbacks to have an "edge" on each other. That doesn't make any freaking sense but that is expected coming from Les

I really hate that clm lacks the integrity to state his position and so insists on ambiguity and half truths. Time to go.

"Both have a little edge" ? Wtf?! That means nothing at all. Les, I can't wait until someone talks down to you, like you're an idiot. I hope that happens to you, because you've been doing it to the fans for how long now? I'd rather you never speak, period.
