I am tired of hearing age, I am tired of hearing calls for the backups, and I am tired of hearing its the OC problems. This is LES MILES being LES MILES!


From the sound of things, you think we should have gone undefeated or won several championships over the last few years.
2011: 12-1
2012: 10-3
2013: 10-3
With all of the attrition and the tough SEC east schedule (UF, UGA, SC), we have had a lot of success. I do agree that Miles has to change his ways. We can't continue to use our same offensive attack as he had last season. Miles needs to let Cameron do his thing. It is more than obvious that we are running what Miles wants. I am frustrated just like you and it am willing to give them time to sort things out. Now, if we continue to use the same approach that we did versus MSU, I will be just as pissed as you are. We have to make changes.

Wrong again! There would have been some anger but at least we would have been competitive.

actually the difference was the line play. State physically embarrassed our lines, the qb played a part in it but it starts with the lines.

is the talent overrated or underdeveloped ?

The FACT of the matter is that each year there are a half dozen missing senior veteran players that LSU does not get to play. These veterans are not only NFL ready but they are all draft caliber and some are first and second day draft guys.

All of you guys who honestly believe that LSU wouldn't be a juggernaut with these players on the field are just plain not wanting to hear the truth and much rather just rag on Les.

For instance, do you really think that we would have lost to MSU with those two DTs that we lost to the NFL last year? If you think that MSU would have still gashed our DL with them playing then you are a dumbarse.

The OP is not doing an an apples to apples comparison. MSU has 9 starters that are red shirt seniors. LSU has two and one of them is Welter and the other is Neighbors. The bulk of LSU's starters are in their second to third year in the program and have major contributes like say our best tailback, third WR, other QB, and probably best DT are all true freshman. It is a very young team especially compared to Mississippi State's team this year whose starters average over 4 years in their program.

OK - UAB's OL is younger than ours and they seemed to move the ball well vs State.

UAB-MSU 2014

BTW, UAB had a 2 yd TD run early in the 2Q.

I like Les but there is no excuse for the slop seen last Sat night.

Don't think so, especially if Prescott comes back for his Senior year; & Mullen, of course.

We're building depth at every position, playing lots of men & only playing 1 true freshman.
