well, neither of us is running the team. i am just giving some possible reasons as to why he was not on the field.

if any of you really think that Les just wont play the most talented player on the team for no good reason then you really are stupid.

how many times did Keiland fumble the ball?
how many INTs did Jefferson throw? by your logic they wouldn't have had him attempt a pass in a close game.

I would say Shep was the most talented offensive athlete on the team last year. Reasons for not playing Shep obviously had to do with non talent issues.

I don't doubt that Miles in his own mind had a reason, just as he had a reason for letting the clock run down vs OM. Doesn't mean it was a good one.

not really. i was just giving you a similar situation.

look, i have already said i wanted to see him more. EVERYONE wanted to see him more. i think he would have helped. but i am also open to understanding why he was not played more. unlike some people here that just chalk it up to "Les is an idiot".

if there was a legit reason, I might buy it. This bullshite ab RS having a fumbling problem isn't one of them.

all i said is that maybe this is why Miles didn't use him more. i gave a possible explaination.

you gave nothing other than "he would have helped".

thanks. i thought he would have helped too. but obviously he was kept out of the game for some reason.

i choose to believe there is a reason. you believe the reason is Les is an idiot.

you gave an excuse that holds no water. Bama game was bigger than the UF game and he had several carries and receptions

In Miles head there was a reason to clock the ball w/ no time outs left. there's always a reason, doesn't mean it's a good one. There's not a single reason that is when you look at everything.

Miles die hards just refuse to admit that on the surface it appears Miles and Crowton screwed up. I am Miles neutral and can praise the man and can call BS when I see it but there is no reason for LSU to use RS as they did last season. They just wasted a year of talent. Ridiculous and unwarranted.

If it comes out RS did not want to play or that he was injured all season, I could understand the lack of PT, but not the burning of his red shirt.

UGA was a big game earlier than UF, again several carries and big plays.

pretty much

I'm not the pro-Miles guy I was prior to last year, but I'm still willing to give him credit when applicable. He has no good excuse when it comes to their lack of RS

I'll throw out the Porter question. Did Porter control the RB substitution, in which case, was he part of the problem?

Yeah I know he worked for Miles. Just figured while we're hitting the hot button issues, I would throw some gas on the fire.

he basically had carte blanche w/ the RBs as Miles right hand man, but RS isn't just a RB and played all over, so his lack of involvement falls on everyone involved in the offensive game planning/calls imo
