As you wish . . .

We have two in-division losses. We do not control our own destiny. We need help from a lot of different folks although we are not mathematically eliminated from the SECCG. In our 2 losses our O scored 3 pts vs State (in a meaningful sense) and 7 vs Auburn. Last night we scored 10. An "offensive philosophy" that performs like this is nothing to brag about.

Les still needs to put the ghosts of '08 behind him. If he had, we may very well be in control of our own destiny.

As one of the other posters well noted, Les doesn't get enough credit for integrating O,D, and ST's. OTOH, he needs to be criticized for the non-competitive slop we saw vs State and Auburn. What was the game plan there?

We didn't win last night because of his offensive philosophy, but in spite of it. At present, the offensive philosophy is a huge factor of why we're in the predicament we're in.

That is just really ignorant. I think anyone who watched last night that was not a supporter of either team would not agree with that. Did our defense play out of their minds awesome? Yes.

But to say we won in spite of our offensive game plan is ignorant. Please tell me...go back and watch the game...really watch it, and tell me when Ole Miss stopped the LSU run game. Why fix what isn't broken. We made some mistakes sure, but without two fumbles, a missed field goal, and the dropped floating pick near the end zone, you are looking at at worst a 16-0 game.

Do I want to have a balanced offense? Yes. Who wouldn't. But clearly the strength of this football team is o-line and rb. Our weakness is our qb. Our defense stayed fresh because our offense had long, sustained drives. We wore those dudes down and made them quit.

Go back and watch that beauty of a 13 play 95 yard drive...12 runs...let that sink in. They couldn't stop us. I just don't understand how hard this is to comprehend.

It shouldn't have been close but Ole Miss was opportunistic and we weren't. And we still beat them down. The gameplan was overwhelmingly effective. Our execution just wasn't always there last night.

those 2 teams were better than lsu at that time. lsu is continuing to improve which once again shows that miles can overcome difficulties such as all of the early departures.
