IMO he's improved in all of these categories:

-recruiting
-coordinators
-team mental mistakes
-turnover ratio


And has regressed or stayed the same in these areas:

-personal communication
-game planning
-stubbornness

He contributed zero to that game and was as inaccurate as I've ever seen any qb
65% is hardly inaccurate, but the 3.1ypa was dismal.
Miles prolly should've stuck with the passing game which more than doubled the 1.44 ypc rushing.
Butthurt ranter hindsight will always be 20/20 though.

I imagine he felt strongly about using what got LSU into the NC and was waiting on Bama to wear down like other teams had all year.
Enough crying about it already and look ahead.

But they had to become bangers to get more playing time


Wow, missed this gem. Ford and Blue are now bangers. Ford, who I like, can make it thru full games without grass stains on his jersey.

I'm intersted in this.

Please define "stubborness".
I'd like to know your view between that and confidence.

Thank you.

Georgia, Arkansas are examples of confidence because they worked out well.


Bama is an example of stubborness because it didnt work.

Can't account for you missing it. But Ford became more of a banger as the season progressed. Even Miles mentioned it.

That was the argument of why Ford and Keiland did not get more carries. The facts would seem to back that. The bangers, under Miles, seem to be the preferred RB.

Being a touch more physical and being a banger are quite a world apart.

I again point out the coaching in the NC game. It was joke, a bad joke. Where were the adjustments in the game?


We had no QB with which to adjust. Miles' hands were tied. Now, it's his responsibility to recruit and groom QB's, so he gets the blame for that. Example: we came out and ran pass plays to start the second half. The coaches made an adjustment to exploit Bama's D and our receiver was wide open. The QB threw one pass that was uncatchable and one that was caught but was perilously close to being intercepted. What could they do?

Your example is invalid because this confidence worked in the first Bama game late in the game.

He had 10 more carries than the second leading rusher over the last 6 regular season games.

And the one that was lagging in productivity lost carries to another back.

So the leading rusher got more carries and the lagging rusher got fewer.

Probably not the actual evidence you had in your head.. But they are facts, spin em however you want!


We can agree that facts can be spun to support the presenter's point of view. Over the last five games played, Ford had 48 carries, Ware had 49 carries, Blue had 21 carries and Hilliard had 47 carries. The leading rusher DID NOT have more carries.

In those last 5 games, Ford had the most carries in only one of those games (WKU). In fact, on the season, Ford, the leading rusher, had the most carries in only 2 games (WKU & AU).

Your statement that "He had 10 more carries than the second leading rusher over the last 6 regular season games", is a bit disingenuous in that the second leading rusher (Ware) was suspended and DNP in AU game. Ware averaged 13.6 rushes per game played on the season. Ford averaged 9.07 rushes per game played.

"Probably not the actual evidence you had in your head.. But they are facts, spin em however you want!"

80 yds combined in 2 games and 5-13 in the SEC champ game. Yeah that is worth defending. Many wide open receivers that were badly missed by poorly thrown balls in both games.

What? No it didn't. LSU's offense didn't engineer a single second half scoring drive. The FG in the second half was the exclusive result of a great Claiborne INT.

Probably a bad choice of words. I was typing and this was the first description that popped into my head.

A better word would be "inability to adjust on the fly". (Execute plan B or C when plan A doesn't work.) You'll reply, there was no plan B. My point exactly.

ETA: Anybody that was "confident" about JJ at QB after that first half abortion of a game, is either stubborn, stupid, or doesn't have a plan. You pick which one you think applies.

25 yards total offense from the QB. That is not working out well. The writing was on the wall after that game. LSU never had a chance in NOLA.

I wasn't defending anybody, just pointing out how wrong you were.
65% isn't inaccurate, especially with miserable blocking vs Bama.
5/13 vs UGA was inaccurate.
You're 1 for 2 so far, and fairly inaccurate.

The inaccuracy part was concernin the UGA game genius, although he was trash in both games. He hit easy swing passes in the NC game and missed every other throw. That doesn't make him accurate.
