re: Statisticians: What is the % that calling TO with 20 seconds would've affected

More than likely the 25 seconds that were left on the clock after the third down play wouldn't have allowed LSU to go score any points, we will never know. It was, however, incredibly stupid. How do you not call a timeout and at least give yourself a slim chance? I'm a Miles supporter and I do not think we are on the decline like most of the board, but that was just dumb. There is no argument on the face of the planet that would make that decision make sense, ESPECIALLY since it was 4th down for Ole Miss and they had no other decision except to kick the field goal.

I am also, at least by the standards of this and other boards, a Miles supporter. But, I agree completely with PandG86.

It is particularly troubling to me that we (apparently) don't have someone on the staff designated to watch and manage this type of clock management issue. Coach Miles has in the past made staff adjustments to address issues; this is, unfortunatley, a recurring issue. It has cost us wins or good chances at wins in the past; it cost us some measure of opportunity Saturday night; I fear it will cost us again.

This is my last "nega Tiger" post for at least several weeks. I'm going to perform the posting equivalent of washing out my mouth with soap now.
