Well I just rewatched the game, and after the 1st series, everytime we where in the I they stacked 8 or 9 in the box.....
Essentially Washington's game plan was to stop the run and force us to beat them throwing just like every other squad last year, the lack of offensive plays (44) didn't allow us to adjust until the middle of the 3rd quarter.

It isn't funny Wilceaux, you wanted to chastize Miles for stating something you thought was dumb, when if you would have took 20 seconds to digest what he meant you would have understood him.....
All running backs want to meet air when they are running, that means they aren't being touched.

So you guys like to quit early if the going get tough? You have to be 100% certain that that type of offense won't work before you try another, otherwise you will be showing all of your hand early.
As for miles studying Washington. What is there to study. They had a complete overhaul. If it was the same coaching staff, maybe just maybe i can see him feeling the need to study. Heck, Polk and Locker weren't even there at the time, how do you study something like that, in fact if you listen to what the announcer say, Locker lost 15 more lbs, making him even faster.
Now as for them studying us, same coaching staff and it worked for them for the first half, we pushed us then we push them back. Not as hard as we could have but all of those players are learning also.
You can practice as much as you want, but until you get to use what you pratice, it's a moot point.

This sounds like something JJ's mom would say at booster club meeting.

That's about how confusing what took place really was.

"I think there is a point in time where the defense moves up, and you have to throw it. Otherwise, it doesn’t matter how many runs you run, you’re not going to meet air. I think that’s more or less the issue. To me, it also speaks to the last drive. On the last drive, we knew exactly what we wanted to do, and we went right down the field. I think the issue becomes that we need to get to that drive earlier in the game. To answer the question more fully, that would get some of the folks stuck in the box out of the box and would allow us to have some of those runs that we’d like to have with Charles Scott.†- Les Miles
I want to believe him, but nothing will likely change for vandy.

It's a defense mechanism my man......I understand people laugh when they realize they are dumb.

Miles complains about the lack of plays in the game. If he had opened the offense up a little more, there probably would've been less 3 and outs and more plays for the offense. More plays equals more points. More points means a larger margin of victory, less time for the opponents offense on the field, and allows Russell Shepard to play and everyone is happy! 
I understand that this is a bit idealistic, but I have faith in my tigers.

I learned long ago that criticizing a coaching staffs' decisions early in the season is a waste of time. Remember, it is all part of a "process".
Why did we run the ball up the middle repeatedly with no success? Are our coaches conservative or stubborn? Are our coaches trying the protect an inexperienced QB in a hostile stadium? Are our coaches trying to evaluate if our new center and left guard can create running room for Scott?
Are our coaches trying to determine if we are able to run up the middle in a single-back formation without a fullback?
No one on this board knows all of the answers, but we all like to think we do. Maybe the coaches thought we would win this game easier and wanted to try to figure some things out for later on in the season. Maybe it took them 3-4 drives to see what they wanted to see.
We all can admit that we expected the Tigers to win by a larger margin and look a lot better doing so. But a win is a win. Survive, and advance. Play them one game at a time. There is always next week. Now get Vandy and prove the doubters wrong (at least for this week).

to be fair, there were several times where Jefferson took off at the sound of footsteps in the pocket. Who knows, maybe the play call was to air it out, but either the protection wasn't good, or Jefferson had happy feet, and we never got to see the play develop.

He basically gave the same reasons for not playing Shep. Obviously after a disastrous year last year with a young quarterback, he doesn't want to make the same mistakes with his young quarterbacks.
He admitted that it wasn't what he wanted out of his offense. He took the middle ground. He could've aired it out against the "midget" secondary with horrible results. On the other hand, it could've been brilliant. Guess he wasn't such the mad hatter this time.
Maybe that was a good thing.
