“Fatigue, if there’s a guy on there that’s tired, here’s how we handle it: We played Oregon and Auburn and a number of teams that use the up-tempo offense, right? Here’s what happens: The guy goes like this (patting his head) when he gets tired. When the ball is stopped, he runs off the field quickly. And we put another guy on the field quickly. It just happens. As the time it takes to get on the far hash, it becomes difficult to do, don’t get me wrong. But in the ebb and flow of the game, it’s not been an issue for us.”
“The incidence of injury in football is 100 percent.” I couldn’t have said it any better myself. Miles then goes on to explain the basic procedure of how LSU substitutes players when they’re tired or winded – as do most teams – by patting the helmet.

And when we have an issue we just fake an injury. DWI bitches. Les if playing chess all over the checkers playing SEC.

I was wondering why LSU had no defense last year. Apparently Les has gotten more involved.

Les Miles seems to have figured out a solid way to substitute. If only he could figure out a way to not get owned by Ole Miss.

There is no way it is that easy. Getting a player off the field takes time and a coordinated effort between the player, coach, position coach, and the substituting player. To pat your head, have the coach see it, get off the field, and get the new player on...that has to take at least 9-11 seconds.

but what if a team's players are too fat to reach up on top of the head?

Les Miles, the coach who started the fake injury routine, the guy whose offense struggles to cross the 50 against the defense to which his snide comment refers.
Guy could be the POTUS one day if he really wanted the position.

Thing is, we struggle a bit with more traditional offenses because we play a little lighter also, so our guys aren't dying against the no huddle/fast pace. We dominated WVU and Oregon when they put up points like gangbusters in 2011. We've been one of the only teams able to handle TAMU over the last 2 years. We were the only team to handle Auburn in 2013.
Once we get our guys in place next year, we'll be another top ten defense that isn't phased by the HUNH, and can defend the pass and power O well.

Tiger down parodies are the absolute best. Damn snipers.

LSU's defense was a totally different defense from the beginning of the season, to the end. Just compare the Georgia game vs Aggie game. No doubt the OM performance was the worse overall performance of LSU the whole year, but I'll give it to OM they came to play. What happens when you lose as many starters as LSU did last year on defense, but I think that defense will be damn solid next year and top 3 in SEC.

Then there's Jeremy Hill "hobbling" off two feet the field after failing to get out of bounds on the next to last play against Bama in 2012 and the refs stopping the clock for him

We had a good plan against Texas A&M.
