Not a weakness; it's a strength, and one shared by almost all coaches. What they realize is that you keep your starters in until the game is secure. At that point it's most important to sit your other starters to avoid injury. Once you do that there are no more meaningful snaps. The backups are in, and they will blow assignments, get your QB killed (if you're passing), run bad routes, etc.

I also wonder why he didn't give Rettig an opportunity

Oh, let me clear that up for you. Rettig sucked. I posted that on this board the week after the Army AA game. His performance in that game was so bad, relative to the other QBs, that I prayed that AJ was good.

tldr: Miles knows what he's doing.

When it comes to the QB position, history says otherwise. The QB position has been a clusterfrick for almost 5 years now. Mett was an anomaly...we got lucky and picked him up out of JUCO because he played with some girls titties.

The recruitment and development of QB's at LSU has totally sucked, and it's because of Miles philosophy of football, which is that the QB is not instrumental in the success of the play, he's merely another piece of the machinery. Miles game is to play 'keep away' or ball control from the other team until the time clock expires. It's amazing that after 8 years with the guy some people still don't see this.

Thank God for Cameron, who actually coached Mett up last year so we could have a decent season. If we can keep Miles hands off the offense and the QB position, the future could be bright.
