Auburn played inspired D.
Sorry, but it was the 8 man front and dropping a safety most of the time.
We (Bama) don't actually see that every week on every play. We did for UT last year however, and the game was tied 6-6 at halftime. Then we aired it out in the 2nd half, and the game blew wide open.
Les was unwilling to fully rely on Mett throwing despite Auburn daring him to. And you can't blame him, in his first SEC road game in front of a hostile crowd and he wasn't sharp.
In summation it was a combination of:
Auburn playing inspired D
A very hostile crowd
Exposed weaknesses of LSU's line against heavy run blitz, esp at the tackle positions
Unwillingness to open it up with Mett

Seeing as Mett didn't have half a second to pass and our wide outs have a bad case of the drops, it makes sense why Les relied on the running game.

100% accurate. and the two fumble's at critical times led miles to play just for the victory. lsu's special teams and offense made a ton of mistakes in that game. stupid mistakes. i haven't seen miles chew players asses out on the sideline in a long time. at one time he walked down to where the OL was sitting and chewed the whole damn lot of 'em out. LSU needed a game like that; our OOC schedule was too easy with TCU backing out and washington being shite (unexpectedly). some of our younger players didn't understand what arse kicking SEC football on the road is all about. hopefully, they do now.
