LSU Taking a Knee vs Ole Miss 2011

Looking back at the Magnolia Bowl, the two memories that stand out in my mind are the schools' 2011 and 2013 meetings.
Both the 2011 and 2013 games were at Ole Miss, but they had totally different outcomes. OM upset LSU last year, while the Tigers left Oxford 2011 without the Rebels putting up much of a fight
In the 2011 contest, LSU had the ball on the OM 1 yard line with over 5 mins left, up 52-3. Instead of punching the ball in and going up 59-3, Les Miles decided to have his team kneel down on the ball on four straight plays, turning the ball over on downs.

The two commentators here weigh in with their thoughts as well
Les was bound to receive criticism either way. Score, and you run up the score. Kneel, and you rub it into your opponent that you dont need to try against them.
To LSU's defense, they ran the ball the entire second half not trying to run up the score, yet the Ole Miss D could not stop anything.
What says the sec rant? Nice move by not trying to run up the score? Or dick move by kneeling on your opponent's 1 yard line?

Well I can't say which one is better, but I definitely know which one your mom would choose: taking to her knees.

It shows class by Miles... of course it would befuddle Ole Miss fans.

A kneeling Mettenburger wouldn't be a terrible Gamday sign.

Mett actually scored on the previous play but CLM asked the refs not to review it.

LSU should have scored more. We sucked. Too bad for LSU that their good team is now gone and now our team is good.

LSU threw 9 passes in 2011. 
Eta: it was actually 8.

Mett called his own number on the naked bootleg and ran it to the one (or possibly scored). Miles was pissed and made him take a knee. His plan was to run the ball out but not score prior to the bootleg.
