I never died....but held my breath after the accusations at Miles that he lied about the "spike" call. I was even willing to forgive him for that; given the heat of the moment and the fact that he didn't have the opportunity to look at replays of his signals on the sidelines like the rest of us arm-chair QB's. Further, if the clock were reset to 2 or 3 seconds instead of 1 second, it might have been the smart call! It was also suggested that Ole Miss had 12 players on the field, which a spike would've allowed LSU to set up and kick the FG without a rush.

Hearing Miles' explanation of his arm motions on the sideline being directed at the refs to argue against Ole Miss' player holding the ball as if he had recovered a fumble or made the interception (not to direct JJ to spike the ball) is more than believable, and perhaps a few fans owe Miles an apology for accusing him of lying. That too I can forgive, because nothing was clear during all the chaos, except two things to me:

a) shitty play-calling by our OC (AGAIN) with 1st and 10 on the 30 with 2 TO's and 1:00 remaining, and
b) Miles and company failure to call a TO with 32 seconds remaining.

Everything after that point was just "icing on a diarrea cake".
