re: Clock Management Woes

I did see Miles confirming the declined penalty and then calling for the field goal once that was determined to be the case.

This is bad on Les' part. No coach in America would accept that penalty and allow LSU to run the clock out and end the game. The clock would start running after the penalty was assesed, and LSU could have taken a knee and the game would be over.

0% chance of Auburn accepting that penalty. Terrible thinking by Les Miles if he thought Auburn might accept the penalty.
