Big game for Ole Miss, LSU and Tigers head coach Les Miles
Florida State Seminoles head coach Jimbo Fisher meets with Oklahoma State Cowboys head coach Mike Gundy at AT&T Stadium.
Steve Spurrier just up and decided he didn’t want to coach at Florida anymore, and left for the NFL. Fournette and Ohio State’s Ezekiel Elliott are at 9-2.
Cheyenne Wood led the team in assists with 22 last Sunday, as she is averaging 5.43 assists per set on the year.
Miles said on Wednesday’s SEC coaches teleconference he’s not feeling additional pressure going into Saturday’s game at Ole Miss, but that’s is “imperative that the Tigers get back on track”.
One minute a team can be on top of the mountain and two games later, that mountain can turn into a mole hill.
Are we watching the end of Les Miles at LSU? That’s beginning to happen all around us. Why Arkansas Will Win Oh yeah, the running game.
Last week against Alabama, however, Prescott didn’t look so impressive.
The Tigers are 4-2 in SEC play right now, but have declined each season in conference wins since 2011.
Miles said he likes coaching at a school where winning is expected.
It’s not the first time we’ve been to the brink. Ole Miss had the week off following a stunning 53-52 overtime loss to the Razorbacks.
“The wisdom of connecting with people that are disadvantaged and suffered the bad tragedy of terrorism, which is not only a national but an global issue, I felt like it was the right thing”, Miles said.
Arkansas has won four straight games since a rough start to the season. We got an extra practice in after giving them a few days off. I was really pleased with the attitude and the way everybody locked in. Tigers running backs coach and recruiting coordinator Frank Wilson held the same position at Ole Miss from 2005-07…. He hasn’t carried the ball more than 17 times in any of the last three games, but he’s tearing off yards in chunks as the offensive line is burying exhausted defenses trying to get through November. The Rebels are a 4 1/2 point favorite over the Tigers. “We’ve just got to gang-tackle him and get a lot of bodies around him”.
Rebels also have to stop the run, taking note that the LSU offense struggles when Fournette does not gain over 100 yards. After debuting at No. 2 in the first College Football Playoff rankings, LSU has lost to Alabama and Arkansas. Not to mention star safety Tony Conner, who has battled injuries all season. You’ll need to register with an email address and password.
Another key will be schedule. A Razorback defense that had just eight sacks during its previous nine games took down Brandon Harris five times last Saturday. The Tigers need to avoid obvious, long-yardage passing situations as often as possible against this defense.
The Rebels also primarily use cover-three in the secondary, so crossing routes off of play-action will be important, as well as 4-verticals and other seamers.
“I hope they’re not in a slump”, Miles said.
“I know he will have his defense ready”. Kelly has thrown for 3,224 yards which is 500 yards more than any other quarterback in the conference.
But now his time at LSU could come to an end according to Scott Rabalais of the Advocate if the Tigers lose to Ole Miss and Texas A&M.
Miles took over the LSU program ahead of the 2005 season. A loss this week would mark the Tigers’ first three-game skid since 1999. “I’m happy. I’m going to keep pushing them and try to keep getting them better”. That may be a problem against a stout Ole Miss front allowing a mere 3.2 yards per rush, the scary news about Denzel Nkemdiche notwithstanding.
