We’ve already covered the Les Miles/LSU screw up to end the Ole Miss game at great lengths. If his mistakes weren’t enough, even google was picking on him calling him an idiot. But making matters worse is that Les Miles lied after the game, denying that the coaches instructed quarterback Jordan Jefferson to [...]

... with 3 sacks last week. Miles has a lot to explain after bizarre ending last week as confused QB Jordan Jefferson tried to spike ball from Ole Miss 10 with one second left instead of Miles sending out FG team for easy game-winning kick. Miles then seemed to contradict himself in post-game interviews saying he didn't know who ordered ball to be spiked. Bottom line is offense is sputtering...

... the Tigers bounce back emotionally after a heartbreaking loss like that? If they do, quarterback Jordan Jefferson will have to have a solid game. Jefferson (178.5 pass yards/gm, 14 TDs, 5 ints), however, has been hampered by an ankle injury that has slowed him since the Alabama game. He was noticably limping last Saturday in Oxford. During that same game against the Tide, star...

... goal returned for a touchdown for LSU. A 14-point swing would have made that game not very close. Jordan Jefferson reverted to his old ways of completely disappearing for a quarter plus. The third quarter and early part of the 4th quarter for Jefferson were horrid, and our offense ground to a half. Fortunately, the defense stepped up and managed to keep Ole Miss from scoring...

... game. "I'm responsible. I'm the head coach." Trailing 25-17, LSU scored on a 25-yard pass from Jordan Jefferson to Rueben Randle with 1:17 remaining. LSU's 2-point conversion attempt failed, but the Tigers still had a chance to win when Brandon LaFell recovered an onside kick, then took a screen pass from Jefferson to the Rebels' 32. Rather than running the ball, the Tigers...

... a desperation heave down the field, the clock was stopped as the referees hurried to set the ball. Jordan Jefferson looked to the sideline and was told to spike the ball with one second left on the clock. A completely assinine decision but he was simply following orders. After the game Les Miles told reporters that he had no idea what Jefferson was doing and said that LSU needed...

WBRZ-TV in Baton Rouge shot on-field video from the end zone of Vaught-Hemingway stadium at Oxford, MS last night clearly showing Les Miles repeatedly signaling to LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson to spike (”clock“) the ball with :01 left against Ole Miss. The above animation shows only one instance of Miles’ gesture. He made the same signal [...]

by Clay Travis Filed under: LSU , Mississippi , SEC On Saturday, LSU's Jordan Jefferson made the inexplicable decision to spike the football with only one second remaining in the game. Spiking the football ended the game and negated two miraculous Milacles : first, Les Miles' Tigers recovered an onside kick and then they completed a 46-yard Hail Mary. In his postgame news conference...

... rather than going for a field goal, he said he wasn't yet sure and would have to find out. Jordan Jefferson and the Tigers never got lined up anyway and Ole Miss earned its second straight win over the Tigers and the first at home since 1998. Nutt has beaten LSU four straight times with Ole Miss and Arkansas and has never experienced anything like it. "You were holding your breath...

And that was before the Ole Miss game began. LSU's last drive provided plenty more questions. We'll ignore for a second that coming out of a timeout, LSU coaches called the Jordan Jefferson-to-Stevan Ridley pass that lost seven yards. That was an execution issue. What makes no sense is why LSU coaches allowed so much time to drain off the clock before they called their final timeout....
