re: Why Were Miles Offense at OSU better than Now?

The second Flynn was gone after that last title, Miles went into conservative "protect my freshman/inexperienced QB" mode.

Since Jefferson and Lee showed little to no ability to LEAD an offense effectively, he played everything close to the vest to protect his passers.

It was working and the QB's continually showed a lack of ability to to do what the likes of Mauck, Russel and Flynn had done in the past.

With Mett coming in, we all thought we were getting back to the days where we had a formidable offense. Mett didn't initially look stellar and we have 1,254,953 running backs on our depth chart, so why not just keep doing what's gotten you W's all these years.

Problem is, our offensive line has sustained injuries and it has affected us in a negative way tremendously.

Fortunately, we have a defense that can continually keep us in close games.

The Mad Hatter is no more. Miles is a good coach and a great recruiter. If LSU is content with having a program that plays not to lose instead of playing to win, the current coach Miles is our guy. I really think that string of QB's that couldn't be game managers severly changed his approach to how LSU plays football.
