All Those Groovy Les Miles Trick Plays
Posted on 9/28/26 at 1:49 am
Posted on 9/28/26 at 1:49 am
Our well executed 4th down pass vs Aggie got me to thinking about all of Les' trick plays. I've probably missed some so feel free to supplement the list below.
The only one I recall failing was an onside attempt vs OM in '09. And FTR, I never saw a single one coming.
2005: Fake punt (Chris Jackson to Prude) vs ASU
2007: Matt Flynn Fake FG vs UF
2007: Hidden ball trick with Trindon vs USCe
2007: No-look fake FG (Flynn-to-David) vs USCe
2007: WR pass (Early-to-“Quinn”) vs Bama
2008: HB pass from Keiland Williams vs Auburn
2008: Onside kick (Josh Jasper) vs Auburn
2008: Fake punt (Jasper) vs UGA
2008: Onside kick (Jasper) vs GaTech
2008: Fake punt (Brady Dalfrey pass to Chad Jones) vs GaTech
2009: Failed (barely) onside KO (Jasper-to-PP7) vs OM
2009: Onside kick (Jasper recovered by LaFell) vs OM
2010: No look fake FG (Jasper off the hop) vs UF
2010: HB pass from Spencer Ware vs Auburn
2010: Josh Jasper fake punt vs Bama
2010: DeAngelo Peterson end-around vs Bama
2011: Brad Wing fake punt vs UF
2011: Jump pass (JJ to Joseph) vs UF
2012: Failed fake FG attempt (Wing to Alleman) vs Bama
2015: Trent Domingue fake FG vs UF
ETA1: fake punt vs ASU in '05 and onside kicks vs OM in '09. There were two onside kicks vs OM then. The first one failed when Patrick Peterson didn't quite get his food inbounds. The second succeeded but technically this wasn’t a trick play since it was expected . . . but the execution was a Les Miles' work-of-art.
Finally, shout out to Josh Jasper (GOAT). He was in the thick of seven of these from '08 - '10. And he really stuck it to Nick and Urban along the way.
ETA2: WR pass from Early to Flynn (though Verne is calling him "Quinn") vs Bama. Thanks Tiger Voodoo.
ETA3: Jump pass vs UF in 2011. Thanks Gnash. This was payback for the Tebow jump pass in '06. Great work Les.
And props to Les. The guy had a feel for this stuff unlike any other.

Good thread idea

Les’ very first series as LSU coach we faked a punt against Arizona State.

Yeah... I was thinking that no look fake FG might be a great way to make a two-point conversion.

In our own end zone too!
I’m pretty sure it came out that the punter had a specific read that if he saw he had the green light for the fake and then Les had to explain that while he was correct and it worked….not to do it coming out of our own endzone

I remember my reaction to that play like it was yesterday. “HOLY shite!!!”
You either have to be really desperate, really ballsy or really dumb to do that. Thank goodness it worked.
The Peterson end around in 2010 was genius. You don’t see that play very often. We need to bring it back when Dez comes back. Someone send it to Weis.

And they dried up, unfortunately

Yep his first 5 years or so were fun then he psychologically went into a shell regressed and let the game evolve past him

Les tried a fake field goal against Bama in 2012 where the holder throws it to the kicker on a swing and it got blown up.

I just noticed on the last one, after the TD the ref gets knocked in his arse in the celebration.

56th upvote.

Yeah that 2011 year was the worst. Yuck
Posted on 9/28/26 at 8:04 am to AlwysATgr
solid effort!
Posted on 9/28/26 at 8:12 am to AlwysATgr
I dont care what people say, the Les Miles era was peak football. Wasn't always pretty but the talent we had vs the ultra talented teams of Urbans UF teams, the physical Auburn showdowns, and of course the matchups with Bama were some of the most epic games.
Thanks for compiling that list.

2011: Brad Wing fake punt vs UF

DP reverse on the 4th and 1 vs Alabama is probably my favorite. But he should’ve scored.

We recovered the onside against ole Miss in 2009

Offensively it absolutely was disgusting
Posted on 9/28/26 at 2:47 pm to AlwysATgr
These were fun to re-watch, great post

This is the LSU football I grew up with as a kid and young teenager. I miss them Mad Hatter days!

I updated the OP. There were two vs OM in '09. The first was vintage Les and almost succeeded but PP7 didn't quite get his foot inbound. I think you're thinking of the second onside kick which Brandon LaFell recovered before the last drive and the clock debacle. I included links to both.
