re: USA Today Predicts 10-2 Season

Apologies I was busy and misunderstood the post. I hear this all the time about Les Miles. "9-3 is unacceptable for Orgeron" because it was for Les. I agree that it will be if we don't dominate in wins and look competive in a loss.

I still stand by that reason as to why rumblings was started for Les Miles. Had nothing to do with his record but the way in which he lost some game and even won some games.

It makes a huge difference when you are competive in a game but still lose as opposed to losing in embarrassing fashion or even winning by the skin of your teeth.

There were many many wins in which the opposition had the last drive but our defense barely held on. Yes you have games like this but not consistently. It was fairly consistent with Miles. Lots of games where the opposing teams were in it at the end which gave them momentum to keep fighting. The object is to make teams quit as early in the game as possible.
