    He hates Oeaux personally even though I doubt that he has ever met him. A lot of us were critical of Les Miles but I don't think any of us actually hated the man that was Les Miles, just his approach to offense. Both Oeaux and Miles were loved by their players.

    hey, tap,.. West Virginia beat Kansas, 29–24. Afterward, Jayhawks coach Les Miles had this to say about the Mountaineers: “I have to be honest with you, I didn’t expect them to be that good.”

    Here's an example.. Those Big12 teams that play that style. This is why it's common to see scores of 50-47, etc.. They know their opponent will score on their defense. The goal is to be able to stay ahead on offense so that you win the shootout. Texas, Oklahoma, Ok St., Texas Tech, etc... they all do this. Hell the Saints did it too.. It's ok if your opponent scores 50 points as long as you score more than 50. Unfortunately this doesn't usually pan out well for them when they meet a team with a stingy defense like we are used to seeing in the SEC. Now in my opinion, a way to counter this is to have (lots of) depth on defense, and little drop off from 1st team to 2nd team particularly for the line and linebackers... That way you can constantly be sending fresh guys in and out. This does two things.. it A) lets the defense keep up, and B) confuses the offense seeing all these different guys getting subbed... At least it seems like that to me.

    I agree and the 2nd best thing is to run the ball and control ToP. Since we don't have defensive depth and seem to struggle at times to run the ball, it is a concern; especially given the success top tier SEC teams/defenses have against those Big 12 teams.

    Whether you like him or not, he asked a football question and is being responded to with name call calling instead of football related info.

    Our defense does need help and we need to be more balanced too.

    You know as well as I do that he is only trying to grind his ax. He gets exactly what he deserves.

    The OP doesn't say anything a lot of other people aren't saying as well. But the original poster has an extensive record of making LSU posts that are.....shall we say...."tainted" by his hatred of the current coach and love of the previous coach. He has created an image of a troll, rather than an LSU fan, for himself. Until he shows some objectivity in his opinions, that's how he's going to get treated.
