Miles didn't get outcoached at all. He and Saban both called conservative plays and made sound decisions. I think Les and his staffs inability to develop QBs, and the ineptness on offense because of our poor QB is what helped us lose. Les has a big weakness in football strategy as it relates to personnel decisions, tendencies and exploiting opponets weaknesses.

I'd agree with you if we weren't one year removed from the most prolific offense in LSU history. Miles was the coach then too.

Our passing game is largely dependent on true freshmen. That's going to be a problem for anyone.

The play calling before half really factored into the outcome of the game. I had no problem with LSU trying to do something with that possession because every possession counts. But if you're going to pass the ball (with a QB who only has a few completions), don't throw a short, high risk/low reward pass in traffic with a minute left near midfield. Throw it much further down field because he generally throws those passes well and if it does get picked, Bama will be way down field and probably won't get any points. LSU received the ball in the 2nd half, so I didn't understand that risk at all.

Those 3 points were huge in the end and we basically gave it to them.

That is getting outcoached, just not during the game.

Last year all the talk on here was how great Cam was at working with Mett and developing quarterbacks. Did he suddenly forget how?
