The rant is apparently the lowest of the low. I didn't think it would take that smart of a fan to realize that while this looked like a typical Miles game....it wasn't.

I can't remember the last time the play calling was like that.

Do people forget MSU last year? Basically same 1st half except Les went ultra conservative and almost lost. This year he stays aggressive (at least for him) yet we got some costly penalties, some questionable call reversals, and our best player having 2 huge fumbles.

The funny thing is I've yet to see a single person articulate why it was Les' fault. A poster above broke down every single drive in the second half. Those drives fell apart through arguably bad calls by the officials, lack of execution and mental mistakes from the team.

LF's fumble was real but the original call on the field was a fumble recovery by LSU, first down LSU. Then they looked at it for 6 minutes on the review. You are supposed to have incontrovertible evidence to over turn the ruling on the field. You think they had that but it took 6 minutes to find? A similar thing happened later when they overturned an incomplete pass out of bounds for state (Insert "Les has lost control of the refs here).

Etling missed some throws but it was his FIRST start in two years and FIRST in Tiger Stadium. Clearly he's improving game to game. Fournette fumbled twice which he never does but the guy was also playing a little hurt.

A couple players had mental mistakes which happens every game on every level of football.

My point is we caught some really bad breaks at the end that didn't have much to do with coaching. And as mentioned above we lost some calls that COULD have gone either way. A player fumbled twice who never fumbled. We had mental mistakes at a bad time in the game. It was a perfect storm.
