Liquid, I disagree with you completely on this one. The fact that the team went 13-0 at one point in no way means he understood how to beat Bama the second time around. History says he was clueless. Poor qB play was LSU's undoing in that game. As the Coach, is not LM responsible to use the personnel he has to the best of his ability. Could he not see that Jeff was going nowhere against the gumps. Evidently not.

This will remain a huge flaw that creates serious doubt in my mind at least. Sure, LSU will stomp UW, the Aubies, Miss State et al. But if they lose to the gumps again this year. Well....

Your diagnosis of the BCSNCG debacle is accurate. However, history is not necessarily going to repeat itself. Miles has a different QB in 2012 and presumably learned something from the disappointment of 1/9. Let the season play out.

Well what? Are you suggesting we fire Miles if he goes 12-1 this year?

Can you not see that LSU was going no where against the gumps? Why is that so hard to grasp? They beat the crap out of us that night. The whole team was flat from the start of the game. Yes the defense played pretty well all things considered, but everything was just flat.

So it didn't have anything to do with the Oline that night huh? Hurst didn't block a single defender all night long. They were beating our front all night with only 4. They dominated the game and it wouldn't have mattered one bit if we brought in Jarrett Lee who threw 2 picks the first time he saw that same defense 2 months earlier.

Did you even watch the game? We were outplayed in pretty much every facet- not just qb. Bama had the second chance revenge factor and used it well.
