Like he did the offense after the Florida game in 2006? We went on a 22-2 run after that loss and did not lose in regulation before Saturday night. Miles has a good track record of making adjustments and resetting his team. Can he do it again, or is everything too set already?

Thoughts?

I never liked the Co-DC thing and I hope that Miles' ditches it and gets an aggressive DC next year like he got Crowton for the offense. I doubt it though. Mallory and Peveto seem to be his boys and it will take time and a lot of failure to replace them. Unless, Miles addresses the situation now and changes things. We'll see against SC.

Miles does have a great track record for adjustments, but it seems he only makes them when everything hits the fan like it did last night. The first real error I felt he made was having the co-DC situation. There needs to be a single person responsible for the whole defense.

IMO there will definately be changes to the D and
maybe the O-line. Our O-line just did not play up to it potential and to be more specific they have
a better talent level than shown against the gaters. Our guys were a little bigger than their D-line. Then again Florida's D-line is a lot faster because of their size. We have a talented group of guys I don't know what happened we just were not fired up for the game. We did not hit like usually do no rushing Tebow and several times I saw them tackle Tebow and help him up after the tackle. I was like they were afraid they were going to play to rough and hit someone too hard.

Les Miles, has all of you fooled. Miles, has been getting by on our talent and not his supposedly great coaching. Talent wise, their may be two or three schools who could match us player for player, this year or the five previous. I give Miles, credit for maintaining the program talent wise, but his game calling and offensive personnel selections are terrible. Our defense has not been the same since Saban, and his crew left. Pelini, was and still is garbage. He could never quite figure out how to defend the spread, ask Chase Daniels, and how do you expect his understudies be able to.

Co-DC's worked okay for us.
