Quote of the day
Last week I said I keep waiting for him to call neither heads nor tails at the pregame coin toss and see the coin land on its side. This week I'm even more convinced this could happen.
Why?
His team scored on a 33-yard touchdown run with under 50 seconds to play. What's more, it was his second consecutive rushing play. It was second-and-five when they scored.
And it's not even like Charles Scott had been gouging Georgia all afternoon. At that point, Scott had 18 carries for 62 yards, an average of 3.4 yards per play. If the average carry happens on that play, the clock is running, and you're facing a third-and-two, with a field goal still in the neighborhood of 47 yards. What's the third down play then? I can't even fathom the thought process. But of course we didn't get there. LSU scored on a running play from 33 yards away.
Seriously, think about this, have you ever seen a trailing team score with under a minute to play on a running play from this distance?
I thought about this all day Sunday. I'm not sure it's ever happened before. Yet, when I saw it happen for LSU, I wasn't even surprised.
Meet Les Miles.
-Clay Travis desperately tries to wrap his brain around the enigma that is Les Miles.
