2015 CFB Regular Season

[Svnla]

Let see. Ole Miss vs. LSU, the first offense session from each team.

Ole Miss = 3 points FG because the LSU defender tackled Ole Miss by the shoe lace and bad QB sneak call on 3rd down from Ole Miss.

LSU = no point and punt. 1 first down with SEVERAL penalties, from holding (wiped out over 50 yards run from LF7), to false start to delay of game to bad punt. Sloppy and sloppy and ZERO discipline.

Goodness Les Miles. Your salary is over 4 million USD a year and this is the product you have for the fans? Even after the 2 humiliation losses in the last two weeks?

Next, LSU QB badly missed an open receiver and the kicker missed a short kick. Unbelievable.

End of 1st QT. LSU had more penalties than first downs and zero point.

 

[lupi]

Looks like LSU going down again and OSU may be following.

 

[Svnla]

LSU receiver could not catch a perfect throw and then the next throw was intercepted by Ole Miss and a fight was on Ole Miss sideline.

LSU players need to learn how to fight when the ball is in play (as in multiple missing tackles), not after, morons. End of 3rd QT and LSU is behind 21 points. Ain't happening for a comeback.

Miles needs to go, and the OC too.

 

[destrekor]

fuck you michigan state

 

[jingramm]

Suck it you buckeye fans

 

[Tequila]

Ahahahaha OSU. Couldn't beat MSU without Cook!?!

Universities retain coaches like Miles and Richt because they provide some consistent success even though they fall short nearly every season. I'm talking 10-3 or 9-4 type seasons. It could be a lot worse.

 

[Balt]

Farewell to THE Ohio State University. You and Urby will not be missed.

Now we just need Notre Dame to lose another game to move another bum team out of the playoffs.

MSU just kicked the big 12 into the playoffs.

As I said previously in this thread and elsewhere, Miles gets a top 10 salary (if not top 5) among college HCs and he is not delivering the result since the huge shame at the 2012 NC game vs. Bama. He is not in the top 10 in games won, let alone top 5 college HCs.

LSU gets top 10 recruit class year after year and yet nothing lately, no championship of any kind and no 10 wins season for a while, not last year and especially this season, whipped by lower ranked teams by double-digit scores and barely won vs. average teams.

He is not a bad coach, players love him, LSU did not have a losing season since he was at the helm, but if LSU wants to compete for the NC, he is NOT the one, especially with that mindset and offense philosophy.

Oh, and LSU almost fumbled the ball at Ole Miss goal line. Goodness it was bad to watch, talk about sloppiness, game after game. That's what I and other LSU fans are talking about, same ole crap and sloppiness from the team year after year, not just the W-L record.

Oh, and LSU fumbled again on 4th down on the same drive, and that was AFTER an Ole Miss time out. LSU had 4 tries to do it at the 2 yard line and still fumbled TWICE. UNBELIEVABLE!!!

LSU had 10 win seasons just recently in 2012 and 2013, and became national BCS champs in 2007. Richt got a raise to $4m and a contract extension early this year, but when was the last time his team achieved anything meaningful? He falls short every season and it's well known.

I had money on LSU to beat Ole Miss so I'm disappointed in the loss and agree that more discipline is needed with less penalties and sloppiness, but Les is still a top 10 coach in college football today.

I do not know why GA keeps Ritch because I am a LSU fan and LSU does not play GA as much as Bama, Ark, and Ole Miss.

2007 was a fluke, all the teams ahead of LSU lost in the last week of the season and many said it was because of carried over players from Saban.

Sorry but Miles is not a top 10 coach since after the NC game vs. Bama. CBS did show the stats earlier during the game and it reinforced my points about Miles, just slightly better than average, but not great, not elite level for sure.

Top 10 level you say? Here is the stat -

A mighty troubling trend, one that has seen the Tigers slip to 4-3 in the SEC this year (could be 4-4 with a loss to Texas A&M next week), 8-7 in SEC play over the past two years and 13-10 in the past three.

Don't get me wrong, not saying Miles is a bad coach, just a slightly better than average coach. If LSU wants an OK season, then he is the one, but not to compete for NC year after year as Bama and OSU. Also, see my points earlier about sloppiness, penalties, and lack of discipline year after year, not just win-loss record.

A poster from another site said this and I agree with him 100% because that's how I feel, play "COMPETITIVELY" against each and every team, not just roll over and play dead like they did the last 3 weeks.

I don't expect LSU to win championships every year, but I do expect us to be consistently competitive in every game against every team we play - every team.

Another poster said this with stats and facts to back up about how the Defense (DC Chavis and players such as the Honey Badger, Peterson, Clairburn and such) bailed Miles out repeatly until this year and how pathetic the offense was under Miles since the NC game in 2012 and it is regressing even worse each year.

With all due respect Keith, LSU was 7-0 against pretty much no one. They beat AU and MS St., the two last place teams in the conference. Then cupcakes SYR, EMU, South Carolina, Florida and Western Kentucky. Only W. Kentucky of these 5 teams had their startingQB's for the game. So, are you impressed with the 7-0 record!?!

You do realize that LSU has averaged the #6 recruiting class for the past 4 years (Freshmen-Seniors) and neither of these teams comes close to being ranked anywhere near LSU. Translation: LSU has much, much more talent than either of these teams and more talent than any other team in the SEC other than AL. LSU has the most players in the NFL of any CFB Div 1 school; translation: the problem at LSU is not a talent deficient it is a coaching and player development problem. Miles has had 9, 4-star and 2, 5-star QB's during his tenure here. Our average Total Offense ranking is #67th including the 2013 team loaded with Mettenberger, OBJ, J. Landry, J. Hill, A. Blue, V. Alexander, L. Collins, etc. all playing in the NFL and LSU offense was only ranked 6th in the SEC!

Our Passing Offense for the last 4 years is even worse: #90th out of 119 teams. Note, that LSU has been loaded with 5-star receivers and 4-star TE's. D. Smith was the #2 TE coming out of high school but Miles starts a Jr. College transfer that was unranked because he can "block".

The defense, which Miles has nothing to do with, has played lights-out!! Their ranking for those same 4 years is #11th. Now you see the real reason why J. Chavis left for TX A&M because he too became tired of sending out his Top Ten Defense to protect a 3-7 point lead, while Miles would sit on this lead and continuosly go 3 and out against inferior teams.

The reason fans are up in arms is with all this talent, Miles runs an offense from out of the 1950's, which my 92 year old mother can tell you by personnel and formation, where the ball is going to be run... and so can every DC in the SEC. LSU is starting to lose to teams with Les(s) talent and therein lies a coaching problem. Penalities, lack of motivation, concentration and preparation are the culprits.

Miles made 4,380,000.00 and for 3 of those last 4 years had the highest paid assistant staff in CFB... we expect to compete for the Division every year and be competitive for the CFB Playoffs most years. Miles has been given the tools to work with and has only won 1 NC (with Saban's #1 and #2 ranked recruiting classes) and 3 Western Division titles and has lost 4 of 6 of his last bowl games, which are decreasing in importance! His last NCG appearance is one which every LSU fan would like to forget, as it was one of the most lopsided losses in an NCG and a total offensive embarrassment!

Holy crap OSU's play calling was horrendous to watch.
They had 1 pass down field. One!
Every other play was a throw to the sidelines, QB run, or run for 2 yards.

I never thought a change in offensive coordinator could mean so much to a team - but to compare this year's team to last year's, it's obvious the one variable involved is really, quite simply, Tom Herman leaving. Dammit, I am glad he proved himself valuable to move on to head coaching, but I'd love to pull a Christmas Vacation and go kidnap his ass and tell him he needs to change his mind. :twisted:

MSU just kicked the big 12 into the playoffs.

A lot can still happen. What if Baylor beats OkSt and TCU beats Oklahoma?

 

[postmortemIA]

MSU just kicked the big 12 into the playoffs.

I don't think that Big 10 had more than one team in playoffs anyway... still winner of Big 10 title game is going to go... Be it MSU or Iowa

I just hope ND loses and we see one team from the ACC, SEC, Big10 and Big12.

 

[cronos]

Those two aren't unlikely to happen, too. If so, we might see Big Ten teams ranked 4, 5, and 6 CFP next week. Ha.

 

[lupi]

Yes, but those teams would now have to lose and until they do big12 is in and big10 out.


And now mississippi state throwing up all over themselves.

 

[Adrenaline]

I laugh when I hear people say Miles is a great coach. I have told LSU alum where I work that he is very overrated and they just laugh it off. Laugh off the top 10 recruiting classes that underperform constantly under poor guidance.

 

[cronos]

If MSU or Iowa wins out they're in. Yes, someone else likely have to lose, but the likelihood of that happening is high. I get what you are saying though, if it was Ohio State then they're in either way.

 

[lupi]

Arkansas deserves to lose, bunch of idiots easily moving down the field getting almost 10 yards a play and then you decide to sit on it at the 30. retards.

 

[CPA]

Welp, Syracuse just released it's head coach Scott Shafer. sigh....going to be an interesting couple months for us fans.

 

[DisturbedRamm]

My Iowa Hawkeyes are undefeated, haha!!, all those critics like Colin Cowturd and Herbstreit that said Iowa was going to finish 4th in their division, how you like me now suckas lol
