Texas A&M done in by turnovers in 19-7 loss to LSU
“And Joe Alleva followed that up”. We should be a team playing for championships. This is something Joe wants to work towards fully.
Miles will likely make some changes to his coaching staff this offseason. The Tiger’s have had consistently poor quarterback play and a far too heavy reliance on the run game.
“It’s nice for them to come say to me, ‘Hey, the job you’ve been doing, you can still do it.’ I like that”. And second, a $15 million buyout from private donors would have been needed to send him packing – not a good look for a school that still wants to receive public money. We were imperfect offensively.
Here are a few things we learned on Saturday…
Even in victory, Harris had an abysmal performance. The Tigers have a dual-threat quarterback in Harris, but he has rushed only 64 times for 185 yards and three touchdowns.
Leonard Fournette ran for 159 yards and a touchdown, while Derrius Guice had a 50-yard scoring run for LSU.
Hindered by a false start and a sack, the Tigers had to settle for a 46-yard field goal try, which Trent Domingue pushed wide right for the kicker’s third miss of the game.
The Aggies, who led 7-6 at halftime, scored their lone TD on Allen’s 8-yard, third-down pass over the middle to Ricky Seals-Jones.
As the game ended, fans chanted, “Keep Les Miles!”. “Who knows whether he can choose to do what’s right or not, I don’t know”, McElwain said. “It scares you to death, and you just pray you can hang on to the ears because there’s just not much to grab onto”. “I was praying that I could hold on to the ears”. LSU Board of Supervisors member Stanley Jacobs, the vice-chairman of the athletic committee, became the first LSU official to publicly back Miles as Alleva and others have been silent about Miles’ future since stories of his demise were leaked out shortly after the Tigers fell to 7-2 on November 14 with a 31-14 loss to unranked Arkansas.
Magnificent, indeed. It was a magnificent moment, for a magnificent man who quite honestly has done a stellar job in his 11 years at LSU; compiling a 111-32 record that most coaches would KILL for.
LSU head coach Les Miles is carried off the field after an NCAA college football game against Texas A&M in Baton Rouge, La., Saturday, Nov. 28, 2015. Tiger Stadium erupted when Miles walked out before the seniors were honored, tipping his cap to the crowd at the 20-yard line. “We have talked about this program and we are committed together to working to win and compete at the highest level”. “I’m very pleased about tonight’s outcome and very pleased that Coach Miles is our coach”. There were signs in the crowd thanking head coach Les Miles. You have to win all the time.
“It’s not enough to win occasionally”, Miles said. I just love going to that stadium when everybody out here, 104,000, believe that in fact you should kick somebody’s behind.
Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron is in the final year of a three-year contract and could be made the scapegoat for the Tigers’ offensive failings down the stretch.
ESPN reported that the decision to keep Miles was made during the second half of Saturday’s game.
