Who's to blame more. I know they are new but they were handed the keys to one of the most talented teams in the country and it seems they are not taking advantage of that. Bo Pelini needs to stop giving the offence a ten-yard cushion and Les Miles should actually show some emotion during the game and not just be a spectator! He'll feel the wrath of LSU fans this week and hopefully that will set him straight.
Last week I would have said Pellini but with two weeks to make changes Les didn't see that they were. Also under Miles an offensive minded coach our offense which has more talent than last year has taken a step back and has become more predictable less imaginative and more conservative. This offense does absolutely nothing to stretch the field, doesn't keep the D honest by spreading the ball around and doesn't put the ball in the hands of it's play makers(see S. Green).
Les is Bo's boss so he should take the responsibility. If he cant fix Bo's philophsy, then he should buy him an Amtrak ticket.
Any one notice Les Miles trying to call a timeout after Clausen was intercepted with 17 sec left in the game and LSU with one timeout remaining. One of the other coaches had to step in front of him and remind him that the clock automatically stops with the change of possession.
I'm not sure what was going on on defense as far as who's responsibilty it was to set up on these recievers but after Clausen entered the game you could tell who was going to get the ball on a pass play. It was always the 1 or 2 guys who had a defender 10-12 yards off his man. Numerous times in a 3 reciever set two backs would be right up on the line for a bump and the third would be in that damn 10 yard cushion and his man would get the nod. In a 4 reciever set it was two who had that advantage. It was sickening.
I recall hearing right after Miles won the job that one of his weaknesses was sitting on a lead at halftime. That seesm to be true, given the change of focus to running up the middle during the third quarter. Miles coaches not to lose; he doesn't coach to win. Pellini is Lou Tepper revisted -- the scheme is terrible and it looks like no adjustments get made at halftime or during the game. I find it disgusting that an LSU team would squander a 21-point lead AT HOME. This is unacceptable.
