re: Was Miles trying to run up the score to aid our preseason.

Possibly, but more likely he has nightmares about 2005 Tennessee, and 2008 Arkansas. Teams like Florida, USC, etc., they don't have to worry about stuff like that, because when they get a team down, they ALWAYS keep the accelerator down. You never have to question whether or not they took it easy on you, or if you get garbage scores late, or whatever - if Florida or USC score 50 on you, it's nothing personal. It just means they ran out of time to score 51.
That's the way LSU should be, particularly on offense. Keep the accelerator down until time expires.

IDK---it appears that there were more bombs thrown by the LSU QBS in the 4th quarter than there were all season long. Jefferson Jordan's (that Mark May speaking) passes in the 4th quarter were not ball control passes. On the other hand, it did give us a chance in game time conditions to see whether or not we could still throw the long ball

For all our clueless RANTards, NO.

I gotta chime in here guys. No, LSU wasn't trying to run up the score. You guys could have scored a lot more the 2nd half. The fake punt was a thing of beauty. Hey, if the other team is going to go to sleep then take advantage. Just like the onside kick. I hope my Jackets learn from this beat down.
As for the Miles v. Johnson stuff, come on guys. Stuff is said and construed or misconstrued before every game of the year. You guys won so you can go back and try to find the hidden meaning in some of Johnson's statements as to why your team played so well. Bottom line, LSU had a game like this coming - don't you agree? It had nothing to do with anything any coach did or didn't say. I'm sure when LSU loses the other fans will point and say remember what Miles said on Thursday, boy we made him pay. If Miles was really pissed at Johnson he would have scored 50plus. Sometimes fans and the press make a mountain out of a molehill. Johnson and Miles are cut from a very similar cloth which is why both have been so successful. Only time will tell if Johnson can build us up to a consistent top 15 team or not. I'm looking forward to watching you guys take out Richt next year.

Amen - stuff like that is just football. The deep throwing in the 4th quarter (and the three passes after the fake punt) are probably more objectionable, but it's not like our score was in the 50s - I think we scored 21 points in 5 minutes against Troy, and only had 3 points in the second half against your guys, so, as I said earlier in this thread, keep the accelerator down until time runs out, is usually the best policy against any team, particularly a good one.

Do you follow the SEC Coaching soap opera, at all? From an outsider's point of view, it appears that you guys in the ACC have, collectively, a pretty rational group of coaches. Over here in "the best conference in football" (and some days I agree, and other days Utah beats a 12-1 Bama team or a hapless Michigan team beats Florida), we are chock full of "drama kings", Petrino, Spurrier, Meyer, Richt, Nutt, Saban, need I go on? I don't know if it's the salaries, the egos, the media or what, but our conference attracts and/or develops the most outrageous behaving coaches, as a group (of course there are exceptions, Carroll and Mack Brown would fit right in). I reserve comment on our current head coach, but Bobby Johnson is the only one who seems like he might be a reasonably normal person (Croom fit that bill, too, but he's gone now). Even looking at some guys who recently coached here - Fulmer seems halfway normal, but Franchione, Price, Tubby - Drama Kings all.
And incestuous - before Tubby was fired, we had 4 out of 12 head coaches who had held the position at another conference school - Spurrier, Saban, Nutt and Tubby.
