re: Georgia Tech fans are OUTRAGED at the fake punt...

Johnson DID piss Miles off leading to the game. Georgia Tech fans may wanna get used to this. Paul Johnson is known as one of the bigger pricks in coaching, and is just a little to proud of his offense.

Here is what pissed off Miles. It may not seem like much, but word is Johnson was pretty arrogant all week when they were together. I'm getting this from someone who travels with the team:



"ASSIGNMENT FOOTBALL:"

By accident or design, Georgia Tech football coach Paul Johnson poked fun at LSU head coach Les Miles and defensive co-coordinators Doug Mallory and Bradley Dale Peveto at a press conference the day before the game. But LSU's coaches had the last laugh.

"I get a chuckle out of people when they say, 'It's really assignment defense,'" Johnson said in reference to what many opposing coaches say about defending the triple-option attack of Tech.

"When isn't it assignment defense? I mean I don't care what offense you're playing, you're in the wrong gap or you blow your coverage, you get lit up," Johnson said with Miles seated right next to him.

At the same podium one day before, Mallory and Peveto repeatedly said defending Tech was "assignment football." Miles also used the same term several times over the last month.

LSU carried out virtually all of its assignments as it held Tech's vaunted running game, which came in at No. 3 in the nation with 282 yards a game, to a mere 70 yards on 16 carries in the first half.
