I think this call went beyond the Auburn game....strategic thinking to keep future opponents thinking

the tigers were rolling at the time, I did not see a problem with it, even after it failed. I felt the game was in hand at that point.

Also gives our future opponents something else to spend practice time on in preparing for the tigers.

Les Miles is a dumb Motherfricker? No you are the dumb motherfricker. Your team is up by 21 you call a fake if the kicker gets the first down you are up by 28 if he doesnt you have them backed up. It wasnt a good call or a bad call it was just a call

I want to say the snapper called an audible. It looked like that on the replay



I posted something similar to this last night and got blasted for actually suggesting Miles isn't to blame for everything

Good call. Worst case scenario they get the ball on their own ten yard line. People are only second guessing because AU proceeded to go on a 94 yard drive. But that's not the field goal team's fault.

It was a dumb call considering the circumstances.

A failed fake FG has very little to do with the defense allowing a 90+ yd drive

As I said, I think Miles is the best coach to lead the LSU football program but he looked like he was about to urinate every time I looked at him and I was about to do the same seeing how he is deflating the offense and putting defensive players at risk. That Faked FG call was insane. If he wanted to go up by 4 touch downs instead of 24 points why he started practically taking a knee in second Q?

Every now and then Miles wants to remind us who is in charge and that his name is THE MAD HATTER!

Agreed. It was 4th and 9 I believe, did he really expect to get 9 yards?


He did get 8 yards so it was a good call under the circumstances - will give future opponents something to think about when we line for FGs later in the season

That play was not about tactics. It was about strategy later in the season.

Not me. I don't care if we would have scored that call in that situation was stupid and if you disagree than you know nothing about football. Bet Cam was pulling his hair out on that one. It had Les written all over it

The dumbassity in this thread is just stunning. If you think that even if we had scored that the call was just stupid, then you are a complete idiot.

For real? Dude you know nothing about football. That was one of Les's worse decisions on long line of bad decisions Good call? You gotta be joking?Let's see...kick the field goal, go up 4 possessions or fake it and get a td and go up a prettier 4 possessions...How about lets fake it and get nothing.

Not sure why you show your trick play in a game you are dominating.

I assume the coaches must have seen Auburn leaving the middle open on film and tried to exploit it.

Just like Les saw Florida leave early on punt returns and told Brad Wing to run it if it was open.

"You know nothing about football" is a pretty lame argument when someone disagrees with you.

That being said....
