re: Video: Les Miles talks New Orleans and Harbaughs

Kingbob is spot on! Look at the seasons / games when the QB's and WR's execute. Generally they result in blowouts or quality wins. We ran the same scheme all of 2011 and cruised to the BCSNCG. No execution on 1/9/12 and poor situational play calling equaled no points. The perfect example is the hated "option" play call. On 11/3/11 it killed Alabama. It worked well because it was executed well, but more so because it was called in situations where the opposing defense was in a scheme favorable for us. Look at the DL and LB reads/flow on 11/3/11 v 1/9/12. An experienced play caller can recognize this early in a game.
