LSU comes back to beat Texas A&M, 19-7

He smiled and gave them a reassuring wink.

DEION JONES PLAYER OF WEEK: LSU outside linebacker Deion Jones was named the SEC’s defensive player of the week on Monday after making 11 tackles with two pass breakups and a quarterback hurry in the Tigers’ 19-7 win over Texas A&M on Saturday.

“There’s probably a guy or two I’d like to meet in an alley and have a little straight-talk with”, Miles said following the Tigers’ 19-7 win over Texas A&M.

When the Tigers finally got a big play to take a 13-7 lead, it came on Guice’s long run.

We also learned that politics and college football are the foundation for which controversy is born. This is something Joe wants to work towards fully.

“It’s not enough to win occasionally”, Miles said. If he can get consistent production from the quarterback position, there is no reason Miles can’t secure his long-term job security this time next year. “This team should be competing for championships”. The Tigers have covered kicks more effectively in recent weeks, but they were atrocious in that department in the first half of the season.

LSU fans don’t want to admit it, but it’s their blinding hatred for Saban that has been the driving force behind everything that has happened up to this moment; and Les Miles’ inability to beat the man that he replaced a decade ago, almost became his undoing.

Earlier this week, Miles comforted a tearful LSU fan during his call-in show.

There were a handful of pre-snap penalties and the passing game was largely ineffective.

With his 159 yards rushing on Saturday night, Leonard Fournette put himself back in the discussion for college football’s greatest award, but how can anyone argue with the season Derrick Henry of Alabama has had? A number of his passes sailed over intended receivers or skipped off the grass short of their mark.

LSU running back Derrius Guice rushed 50 yards for a TD. During that stretch, the offense managed about 16 points per game. In the third quarter, Fournette broke the school’s single-season rushing record that was previous held by Texas native Charles Alexander.

Miles will likely make some changes to his coaching staff this offseason.

“A serious overhaul of the offense, does that include Leonard Fournette?” Do you want to consider change?

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. “We didn’t play very smart tonight”, said Sumlin, who dropped to 0-4 against LSU since the Aggies joined the Southeastern Conference in 2012. I get that. The reason I came here is because the expectations here were so high.

Despite the apparent discontent with the team’s overall performance, news that Miles remains “Forever LSU” was welcomed by many fans who turned out in force on Saturday with signs, handshakes and chants of support.
