Yeah, Mett scored on that play. On the full game video you can see Miles telling them not to review it.

He absolutely was punishing Mett for running the naked bootleg.

"That would have ticked me off"


You wouldn't be ticked off by having your arse beat for 4 quarters?

Only time I have ever heard winning 41-17 being called shitting the bed.

They started off shaky but turned it on in the second half.

You’re absolutely right. My bad. My brain was back in 2007. Sorry. To be honest, after that 2012 BCSC game I wiped out the 2011 season from my memory. No wonder I got it wrong.

I like the one where we were beating the shite out of arky and kicked a field goal late, I think it was to equal a bama score back before the playoff system, and the post game handshake between Miles and Petrino? was a little... awkward

No F that, it is a rival! Score again running right down their throat. F Ole Miss. If this situation was reversed they would run up the score also against LSU. F it put 59 on the scoreboard


But LSU would have scored 60. Press conference,”…why did you go for two?”

“Because I couldn’t go for three.”

No worries. I was not a season ticket holder yet for either of those games but I was in attendance at both.

2007 was a miserable cold SOB with a northeast wind that made it worse and we were in the southwest end of the west uppers. Damned 3-headed monster of Felix Jones, Peyton Hillis, and Darren McFaden

The defense let us down as much as the offense. Had them 4th and 10 in the first OT and they completed a 12-yard pass for a first down.

Lol. This was one of my favorite moments of the Les Miles era.

So Mett's punishment was to kneel and not get a scoring drive.
Miles was such a bitch for that

Maybe if Les taught his teams to have a killer instinct we might’ve crossed the 50 in the 2012 BCSCG

Don’t know if it stuck, but I remember someone at the time dubbing it the Knee to the Nutt game. One of my favorites.
