You are kinda missing the point on that one. Tom Osborne did not need to throw down the field on Florida because they were running all over them all game long.

LSU, on the other hand, was not running all over Alabama. And it was not really because our RBs were not doing the job. The RB with the most touches on 1/9 was Hilliard with 5. That's right...5. JJ ran the ball 15 times.

If you are doing something that works, don't change it. That was Osborne against Florida. If you are doing something that fails miserably, don't change it. That was Miles against Alabama.

Everyone saw that and it kind of really hurt Miles' perception as a good coach. He had made some significant progress in changing the media's perception of him up until that point. And then it went all out the window. No one can defend Miles in that game, not even the most purple and gold person. A few try, bless 'em, but everyone knows that was a grade A, world class, exceptional coaching F up. Enough to make you rethink what you thought of the coach.
