Yup. Not worried about it. Our bats will be hot the whole weekend too

Let's get something straight. LSU has and always will be a ground and pound attack under Les' watch. Can't blame him with our stable of RBs and with a healthy O-line and consistent QB play, LSU would have been unstoppable this year.

Can't see LSU offense turning into something like Oregon's spread. Creativity would be more entertaining, but stick with what you know works. Les was criticized for not throwing the ball more and he has aired it out more often (not more efficiently) than previous years.

I do get frustrated when I see Mett but a hand behind his back at the LOS and TELL the defensive where we are running the ball.

The 4th down play calling has been horendous this year. Nonetheless, this style of offense is what I've come to expect from Miles. No OC will change that imo

Typical Saban talk. Hypocritical sob

Not sure how you have come to the conclusion that the Saints have somehow given up after we clearly beat Philly last week and have won 3 out of the last 4 matchups.

A great offensive mind would have found ways to use shep.

As much as i hate Oregon and Kelly, RS would have excelled in that type of spread offense.

Agree with what everyone said. Not the sharpest WR, but certainly underused in his tenure at LSU.

Miles will need to have No.1 recruiting classes every year and develop and coach players better in order to give LSU a chance at an undefeated season.

As much as Miles' play calling blows my mind at times, he is apparently a great motivator. Judging from the past few years, he's a competent recruiter as well. Does he need to have the very BEST recruiting class to go undefeated?? IMO no. A lot of things have to align for that to happen.

I would rather have one loss during the regular season, learn from that one loss, and go on to win a NC than go undefeated during the regular season and get butt pumelled in the NCG.

IMO record matters less than the end result/bowl game we play

Beatable yes.

They are well coached, disciplined, and offensively look crisp and well balanced.

Defensively they look vulnerable to the pass. An areaover LSU struggles TERRIBLY!!

Cause a 5+ypc rushing average sucks

Recalculate that figure there bud. I think you are getting confused on ALL running plays ypc. Notice next game how many yards we actually gain on those toss dives.

I really think he is setting up for a tebow type jumpass when he does that ish.

As far as what he meant in the interview. Who the hell ever understands what he's talking about? I don't care as long as the teams prepared on 11/3

Why Were Miles Offense at OSU better than Now?


Because he didn't have a top 5 defense to lean on. His tendency (philosophy learned from Bo Schembechler) is to do just enough on offense to win, use defense and ST to shut down the opponent, don't turn the ball over, and "secure victory". It makes for some of the most unwatchable football on the planet, but wins games. Did you ever watch Michigan-Ohio St in the 80's or 90's? God awful football.

The philosophy breaks down when you play a team that is on your level defensively, or your O is so putrid that it can't even score one TD...then there is no margin for error and you lose. Miles rolls the dice banking that this won't happen, because more often than not it doesn't happen, and then he wins.

The real question to be asked is if this philosophy is sustainable in the ESPN/NFL highlight era (when you never get on the highlights because your team is so unremarkable, and guys want to go early in the draft). Will recruits still come here? Will you continue to get offensive players? Will your opponents out recruit you because they steal your good Offensive recruits? (Saban, has already stolen a bunch of them and will continue to do it).

These are the questions you should be asking.
