I was the only one in my section not cheering for the TD because I was laughing so hard.

Great call, loved it, but I just wish it was Scum Meyer he did it against. I would have loved to see the look on his face.

Obviously a message sent to Fla but in a friendly gamesmanship kind of way. iles doesn't run up the score but wants to send a message to the other team that LSU is in control.

LSU called off the dogs in the 3rd quarter and only wanted to keep a comfortable lead hence the play calling on the jump pass drive.

LSU could have won by 40 if they wanted to!

Les gave credit for the call to coach Stud.

It was Les' way of shoving the Gators nose in their own pile of dung.

Well played Coach!

I'm just happy to see Torris Bright has a job working as our qb coach.

I think it was awesome. They don't call Les the mad hatter for nothing. I hope Fla. felt like we stuck a stick in their eyes! They always run the score up on every one they play. So turn around is fair play!

This!

Les had been waiting a long time to call that play.

Yes. For all intent and purposes, he took a dump on Urban Meyer's desk in his "film room".

I wasn't exactly shocked but it seemed a bit atypical.... near the end of the game Miles rushed to call a timeout instead of incur a meaningless delay of game penalty... with the clear intention of scoring another touchdown.

Could it be our coach is actually becoming ARROGANT?


I don't know about becoming arrogant but I liked it either way

It gives us another option in the red zone when Jordan is in

He doesn't throw the fade well and we need SOME sort of pass threat if he's going to be effective in red zone situations.

Poking a finger in Florida's eye while giving Saban something else to prepare for. And some people still think Miles is an idiot!

I think it was a play in the playbook that he thought would work in the situation.

Its as simple as that.

How is running down their throats the same as running up the score?

It's called clock management. If they can't stop us, well it seems we would score a TD, right?

What did you expect him to do? Kneel, kneel, kneel, punt?

Miles didn't even call the play. Stud did, it was his idea.
