My take is that Coach Les Miles had the most epic fail of any headf coach in recent memory. In the biggest game in LSU history and if we would have won, placing LSU as the most accomplished team in college football history, Les Miles had one of THE WORST offensive game plans ever, he basically gave up on his team, and disrespected some of his players. These actions made LSU look inferior to Bama, when in fact if he would have had a descent game plan and played the better QB, we would have won the game with the backing of the offensive line and much much better passing game.
From someone who "did see it coming" Les's problem was he missed seeing what was wrong with his offense. Passing 33 yards against UGA and still winning by 32 points. Winning in T-town with only 91 yards passing. And every other game because LSU killed everybody else. The illusion was that it didn't matter how much you throw the ball. You will win without it. Why not do the same thing that got you here? When I posted these stats EVERY LSU fan blasted my post with the same kind of BS. It wasn't until the illusion was exposed that the LSU fan base said holy shite. We need a passing game. The answer was to put in Lee or have practiced passing it more with Jefferson. But Les was going to keep using what got him there come hell or high water. Heavy passing was not in the game plan. And Les never planned on putting Lee in the game. And he didn't get there by deviating from the game plan. So, it wasn't ever going to happen.

By your definition the "Illusion" won 13 games. More than gump nation, even today still more games won with a more difficult schedule. A one game season was won by the teabag pervert nation, enjoy the notoriety. Flame on bama1959.

What's aggravating though, is that there was nothing wrong with his offense with Lee. We were putting up points in the first half and the game was pretty much in hand by halftime. We didn't have problems crossing the 50, scoring points, and getting first downs. The offense was functional, and effective.
Miles' scheme with Jefferson is just odd - besides using your 4 RBs to get rushing yards, you use your somewhat athletic QB instead?
Whether or not this would have made a difference against Bama in unclear, it probably wouldn't have. But the fact that Miles 'fixed' an offense that was not broken is troubling. I mean shite...At least make Bama prepare for both QBs.
