Again, we get to play 7 degrees of Les Miles — Do y’all not recall melting about LSU signing more FBs than LBs toward the end of Les’ tenure?? THAT WAS 4 YEARS AFTER NOT CROSSING THE 50 YD LINE IN THE NCG.
You're a clueless parrot that only repeats what it hears. LSU did cross the 50 in NCG, and that quote stated more kickers than ILBs were signed.

Miles teams have placed Top 5 in Offensive categories about 3 times as much as any other LSU coach.
Here, you can argue with the LSU Media Guide.
Read it and weep.

My bad, they crossed it once on their way to finishing with 92 yards of total offense in the only national championship shutout of (or since) the BCS era. This changes everything!

Not the same year I was referring to, but that’s another hilarious Miles roster factoid. I actually meant to say more FBs than WRs, but it would have still been a misquote... so here’s the source material:
quote:

During the 2018 offseason, Orgeron asked several New Orleans assistants to give presentations to the Tigers’ offensive staff. Brady did a segment on the RPO. A few months later Orgeron turned to his offensive coordinator with a plea. “We’ve got to go spread,” he told Ensminger. This was a vision Orgeron held since taking over for Miles. But having inherited a team built for the run, he knew it was going to take time. The roster had eight fullbacks. At one point in ’17, LSU had as few as eight healthy scholarship receivers. “It was painstaking,” Orgeron says. “I would look at the offense and say, ‘This is not what it is supposed to look like.’”

I guess I have to change my mind about Les Miles now.
