Lsu always plays auburn close, always plays ole miss close, always plays arky close...but why? It's a totally different team each year and this year lsu was far superior to all 3 so why is that always the excuse made to mask a team playing down to competition....yes lsu won all 3 and I'm happy they did but just because "we always play them close" doesn't mean these games in this particular season should've come down to the wire. These were not top 10 teams...just can't understand why this team struggles to put away opponents under this coaching staff.

Good point! However, it is very difficult to argue about until they lose to these lesser teams. God forbid that ever happens b/c then Miles will surely be fired even though he is considered by most to be the best coach in LSU history. Close is good..... as long as you win! ![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Iconcool.gif)

I feel the same frustration. We are much better than these teams that seem to always play us close. My only counter to that argument is that it happens to every other team too.

SEC Football.

Its play calling. Everyone knows what we going to run. How many times do we had off and run between the tackles on 1st down. When they know whats coming its hard to beat the man in front of you. So we get to 3rd and 7,8,9 now the D is playing 5 or 6 DB's.

Saban's avg margin of victory against OM: 1.4
Miles's avg margin of victory against OM: 7.9
Saban's avg margin of victory against Ark: 10.2
Miles's avg margin of victory against Ark: 3.8
Saban's avg margin of victory against Aub: -0.3
Miles's avg margin of victory against Aub: 7.6
Ole Miss was a better team when Saban was here, Arkansas is a better team since Miles has been here and Auburn has been about equal.

Coach Miles is great in some areas, but, only average in other areas.
He is NOT a great coach in all areas.
I'm tired of arguing with people about this on LSU message boards. I do expect LSU fans to defend Miles, and, I have no problem with that.
It's obvious to me that Miles is average in some areas of coaching, and, he is great in other areas.
I like to check non-LSU message boards from time to time, and, it's mostly LSU fans who think that Coach Miles is a great football coach in all areas. He's not a highly thought-of Gridiron Guru nation-wide. Pretty much only LSU fans think so.
But, really, it's futile to try to discuss the merits and demerits of Coach Miles on an LSU message board. An unbiased and thoughtful conversation cannot happen in such a forum.

Tell you what, you take any team in the top ten, and I'll take LSU, on a neutral field, who do you want to bet your house will beat LSU?

you're a fricking idiot if you believe this. this squad has been fricked from the git with inexpeience at qb, receiver and the defensive backfield...then factor in the boucoup injuries, suspensions and kids just up and quitting. if anything, this staff has done one hell of a job having to reinvent this team numerous times and getting the results that we have in a conference as competitive as the SEC. when are you clowns going to understand what a "season maker" LSU has become. we are an elite national power every fricking year and we get everybody's best shot. no excuses....just the facts.

How do you figure that LSU playing everybody excuse or playing down to the competition is an excuse? That phraseology doesn't make a lot of sense.

We beat the shite out of all 3 of them last year.

I can only think of the ball control O when the O is able to work the clock every possession. It not only keeps the score down it makes it close. So if you can't score quick you have to rely on the D to not trade score for score. I think a lot of the games are like that lately. You have to say they have been making each game a nail biter and heart stopper.
