SCOUTING THE OFFENSE
As the season progressed LSU became much tougher to beat in the running game -- on both sides of the ball. The Tigers enter the Capital One Bowl leading the SEC in rushing offense, at 200.7 yards per game. However, the quarterback position shared by senior Marcus Randall and redshirt freshman JaMarcus Russell has been up and down. When Randall has been consistent, LSU has been tough to beat.

SCOUTING THE DEFENSE
The Tigers also enter the Iowa game leading the SEC in rushing defense, holding opponents to 104.5 yards per game. They're willing and able to take chances with multiple blitzes, but the key to success then becomes the play of CBs Corey Webster and Travis Daniels, two talented seniors who have been inconsistent at times this season.

QUOTE TO NOTE
"The best chance we have to win this football game is to have Nick Saban coach." -- LSU athletic director Skip Bertman, who asked Saban to coach the Tigers in the Capital One Bowl against Iowa after Saban agreed to become the head coach of the Miami Dolphins.

Well guys, at least LSU pulled it out this time with better clock management! I got worried a bit after kicking a FG in OT, thinking that they were going to heave it to the end zone every play. That being said, I think overall our Tigers played a very good game.

We had all kinds of pressure on Mallett in the first half and rattled him early. He sailed passes high and away, not even gi

I absolutely love watching games that are as hard fought as the game was last night, even though the outcome wasn't the one I would've chosen.  Cogratulations on the win Tiger fans!

Just as I mentioned on the game thread last night, Jefferson grew up before our eyes last night.  Just as I've been saying for the last several, several weeks... he is young, and with experience, h

Why he says it best.  Just an excerpt from his press conference:

QUESTION: "After Brandon LaFell's catch got you in field goal range, why risk a pass at all?"

MILES: "Well, we, we talked about runs. And um, um, didn't want to turn it over. And fran ...(more)

Well I know it's hard for you Cajuns to get that last loss out of your head. I for one was left scratchin' my ole noggin' while watching you boys. Before talking about The Boot I'll just say a few words about that game from what I noticed.

First...I thought yall played decent for the entire game. Even though Ole Miss did rack up some yards your D did limit them to FG's for much of the g

I was watching some sports talk show a few days ago or maybe it was yesterday, forgive me, but this week has been crazy. They were talking about Les and that dreaful game. Apparently, he said in an interview that he didn't have the time to get the field goal unit on the field so they tried to spike it. In another interview, Les said that he had no intention of spiking and that it wa ...(more)

This game saturday night will decide who goes to the Cotton Bowl. If Arkansas wins they will go and if LSU wins they will. I see a high scoring game but Arkansas pulls out the win. Last year was not a fluke, it was coaching. When you guys had Saban we were out coached every game. Now the shoe is on the other foot. Petrino is by far a better coach than Miles. Also, if a coach looses three in a row ...(more)

Please note (before you read the rest) that this isn't a bashing thread about the spineless leach Nick Saban or his team. In fact, this really isn't about them. It's more about why we as a team lost.

1. Questionable Coaching Decisions
a) A 2 point conversion attemped that early in the game. Why Les? I know, it's your rival, you really want to win. I get that,

After berating and bashing the coaching staff to anyone that would listen invariably the question comes.  "Les get's the boot then who would you go after?"  So my Bayou Bengal Bretheren Who indeed?  If I may in order of MY preference:

Chip Kelly - Oregon.  Offensive coordinator brain in a head coaches body.  Runs a very e ...(more)

4 point game in the 3rd quarter and people start leaving.  We are in overtime against a conference opponent on national television with bowl implications on the line and half the stadium is empty!  This is embarrassing.  Everyone who sits around me expressed their opinion that they could no longer support this coaching staff but that is no reason to leave the stadium with so much on ...(more)

Some media outlets have written looking for contact info on deposed U of L coach Steve Kragthorpe, saying he'll be on the short list if Gary Crowton is let go as offensive coordinator at Louisiana State.

Kragthorpe said he had three job offers during his farewell news conference today on campus, including one from a BCS school.

This doesn't constitute an offer, but it might m

Lets hear it.  Lets hear how none of this falls on Miles shoulders cajuninca.  You always defend your beloved dumb arse Lester so lets hear it.  Where are you?  Where have you gone?  Defend the pass play called when LSU was in field goal range, defend the retarded onside kick in the 2nd quarter, defend calling the same play twice when he went for 2, def ...(more)

As you have seen, I've posted in the past about how I don't believe that Les Miles is the right fit for LSU.  In case you didn't see that, the main reason is the fact that LSU always has a high-caliber team... offense and defense.  I followed Les very closely at OK State, and I would compare him to Houston Nutt, when he was at Arkansas.  They both have been notorious for winning gam ...(more)

Wow,  you would have thought ole Lester would have learned something from the Ole Miss game but obviously not.  Once again Lady Luck shined down on our boy Lester.  He almost single handedly cost us the Ark game.  With a 1:05 left in the 4th quarter Lester burned our last time out.  What the hell was he thinking?  Why on earth would someone do that?  We need a fi ...(more)

I'm just calling it as I saw it.... Les, let down our boys!!!! Plain and simple. The refs were cheating and you should have packed up the team and walked off the field. They couldn't finish the game and made money off of it if you had done that and that leads me to this... You, Les Miles, whom I have always taken up for and respected, are making me wonder, after Saturday's game, whether or not you ...(more)
