That might have been Les Miles greatest game. Played 3 QBs only threw the ball like 8 times, had 5 players with over 50 yards rushing, defense had a TD and a few turnovers.

You could replay that game 1000 times and ole miss wouldn’t win one of them.

iirc, during that era arse whoopings and high powered offenses factored in to the BCS formula and we were neck and neck with bama, iirc, and they had just run it up on somebody with a similar score and Les was trying to stay neck and neck with them, a least that was story on the street back then

Petrino = Major prick a-hole


If he wasn’t a prick,he was Saban’s replacement in 2005. Came to BR and pissed Skip off royally with his holier than thou shite. Might have won more than Les initially, but was ultimately going to fail. He did a great job at Arkansas initially before his dick took over.

Bobby Petrino is a bitch. Got his arse whipped by his side piece’s husband and blamed it on a motorcycle crash haha. Now that is a beat down.

One of the best gifs ever created on this site is the one with him riding the motorcycle with Les and Les kicking him off and laughing as he peels out.

he didn't run it up. Pelini did that when Les kicked a FG on 4th and 6 with 5+ minutes left in the game.

Petrino made that gesture right after we threw a pass in the 4th quarter and game was out of reach. No big deal. Coaches just hated losing to Les because he sounds like a retard

apparently furious that Les ran the score up on him



what's hilarious about that is Arkansas did the exact same thing to their previous 2 opponents, but couldn't handle it when it happened to them.

beat Tennessee 49-7 and was still throwing the ball up 42-7 in the 4th
beat Miss State 44-17 and was still throwing the ball up 37-10 in the 4th

Les Attempts a FG up 38-14 in the 4th and Bobby gets mad.

Les was known for his prolific offense, so you could see how he might have been running it up.
Actually 2011 Avg Scoring Margin 22.8ppg.
For comparison 2019 was 24.8ppg

I just rewatched the highlights and Petrino was a dumb frick for his reaction. Nothing wrong with any of the play calling in the 4th ... Les even knelt at the end.

That 2011 team deserved more than what they got. Still the second best team this century. Damn you Les.

it was also a 1 vs 3 matchup, so les running up the score at that point in time secured LSU in the natty no matter the result of the Sec championship game.
