Losing margins under Miles

Miles' average margin of loss, at LSU, is just 141 points over 15 games, or 9.4 points per game

However, going back to Saban Bowl #2, we've only been outscored 48 points over those last 7 losses, or less than 7 points per game.

So, while everybody is grousing and griping over the wins, I often raise the point that we are in almost every loss under Miles.

That was NOT true of Saban's [edited to reflect 16 losses over 5 years at LSU (*note to Sabanistas, Miles will have to lose 1 game this year to equal that number in 6 years.) I previously said had 18 losses at LSU which was incorrect.] Saban had multiple 4 touchdown drubbings, at least one a year, except 2003. 2002 (his third year), for example, we lost to the Alabama teams by a combined score of 62-7.

Really, only the SEC-CG against UGA in 2005 and the Florida game in 2008 are in the same league as Saban's 5 or 6 worst losses.

ETA - Saban lost 16 games (not 18) by 247 points at LSU, averaging a 15.4375 loss margin. By contrast, Miles has lost 15 games by 140 points or 9 1/3 points per loss. The individual loss margins are 3, 20, 4, 3, 6, 2, 30, 14, 6, 18, 1, 10, 9, 2, & 2 bold indicates OT. SO, out of Miles 15 losses, the scores was tied at the end of regulation 4 times. To Saban's credit, he was 3-0 in OT games at LSU. Miles is 4-4 in OT.
