His seeming unwillingness to just decimate an opponent when he has the opportunity. No matter what anyone says, Clemson's 58-0 beatdown of Miami scored points for the committee. Les always seems to take his foot off of the gas when he could make things much worse for the other team and, in effect, make a statement. I completely understand the sportsmanship angle, but in this situation, you have to do what you have to do.

not going to happen...offensive style doesn't really allow for it. I said yesterday and I will say again lets just worry about winning the next 3

As long a Les wins by 1 he is satisfied. He doesn't want to show his plays to other teams.

I don't see that as the problem.

The inability or unwillingness to tweak/modify both sides of the ball to fit the opponent week-to-week.

Opponent always has the initiative. We will always be the ones surprised.

We're going to do the things we do as always and it will work... until we run into a better strategy and/or better talent.

You do realize that the next 3 opponents are pretty good teams? It's a bit presumptuous to think that LSU should not only win the games, but blow out Ark., OM, and A&M. The time for making statements with blowout wins have passed. Just win the next 3 games.

Show his "play"....Miles only has four plays...three run up the middle...and pass long.

you don't run into the big guy on the playground, you run around him

Miles is clueless

What plays? Is he waiting for his final year to unleash a different style? Everyone continues to say "Les doesn't want to show his hand; he's waiting to open the playbook and catch a team off guard". This has yet to happen.

He opened it up last year vs A&M. I was like where has this shite been all season, but then he went back to his old self vs Notre Dame

I don't know about decimating an opponent and how that helps or not (Id sure like to see it though) but I think Mile's style of play not only keeps the games closer than they should but frankly puts winning in jeopardy. If we play like we did against Bama we will likely go 0-3 the rest of the way, in my opinion.

I'd argue that it's actually MORE insulting to stop trying to score on your opponent than it is to just continue running your regular offense.

It's pity, and if I'm the opponent, I'd get pissed at that. It's my job to stop the other team, and if I can't, that's my fault.

We run about 12 plays. I think other teams have seen them all.
