Then someone explain to me where was the Miles blind "miracle luck" against:
Tennessee in '05, Auburn in '06, Kentucky and Arkansas in '07, Alabama and Arkansas in '08, Penn State in '09, Auburn and Arkansas in '10 ???????

Also, why is it that Miles is not given ANY credit for his late-game clock management skills in LSU victories? e.g. Auburn and Florida in '05,
Tennessee in '06, Auburn and Florida in '07,
Auburn and Arkansas in '08, Florida, Alabama, and
Ole Miss in '10 ??????
He managed the clock and got game-winning drives in just about all of those, converting 4th downs, etc.
Nobody ever mentions those though.

He's lucky. Deal with it.

Bounce pass from holder to kicker should tell you all you need to know.

Have you seen his clock management skills the past two years?

If the grass munching SOBs luck runs out this year, he won't be the coach at LSU next year.

ETA: You do realize that LSU lost to Bama in '08 right?

It was luck. My son and I tried it 100 times to no avail. He was tired too.

You call that good clock management??? He threw a deep pass that was caught with one second left and it was luckily caught. If the DB would have been able to tip it away, the clock likely would have run out

fans don't like getting their arse kicked by Les Miles so they resort to blaming it on witchcraft and voodoo.

Yeah I don't really know why that's like commonly known now. People talk about Ole Miss from two seasons ago but forget last season how EXTREMELY well he managed Florida, Ole Miss, and believe it or not Tennessee. Although it was messy you know what, Dooley messed it up. Yet Dooley isn't bashed left and right for the two wins he let slip right from his grasps.
When people say this I just kind of shake my head and know they only listen to what pundits say and don't really know football.

So, are you trying to say that all those calls for his head in '09 and '10 won't rear their ugly heads again if LSU were to loose more than two games, expecially if it's on a poorly managed game clock?

Come on...

You have no idea wtf you're talking about here runt. Byrd caught the ball with 4 seconds left. If it was tipped we'd still have 2 seconds left.

Yup, one that if done the year before would have been called a dead ball. (damn rule changes)
