You have got to be fricking kidding. Do you seriously think we go to Fayetteville and blow out Arkansas with Les running the show


Yes. Teams that couldn't stop the run rarely beat Miles.
Arkansas is 89th in opponents rushing yards per game.

Unless they were Arkansas. Some really shitty Arkansas teams beat us or played us much closer than they should have when he was here. We had exactly ONE convincing (more than 7-point margin) win over Arkansas in his 11 games against them. He went 6-5 against them despite the fact that we finished with a better record and ranking (if either team finished ranked) every single year during his tenure. If you think he would have taken this year's team up there one week after the Alabama loss and put a four-touchdown whipping on them, then I don't know what to tell you other than that you are full of shite.

But according 31 you can ignore the specific strengths and weaknesses of a team at a particular moment in time if you've beaten that team several times in the past, i.e. Les would have beaten Florida because "Les owns Florida". By that logic Les would have to lose to Arkansas and Ole Miss regardless of the fact that they had such weak run defenses this year. (Joke)

Having said that, the Florida loss is the only real hiccup I've seen so far from Orgeron. He should have won that game. But what made it so frustrating was that it resembled issues which were frustrating about Les Miles, especially the ending... which makes me feel like Miles would have lost that game as well.
