That was a fantastic win for LSU and Les Miles. I really thought the LSU coaching staff had a much better game plan in the second half, than Auburn. The onside kick call was brilliant, even though LSU was unable to capitalize on it in the same possession. There were a couple of other calls in that half that I thought LSU made the right call on as well.

I also think it has the potential to be a historic win for Les Miles. This was probably his biggest win on the road, since he got to LSU. Miles had other big time wins, and a few on the road, but I really think winning at Auburn was a huge win for the program. It was something that not even Saban was able to accomplish at LSU. The knock on Miles is that he inherited a great program, and never had to turn a program around by himself. While that is something that he will probably never be able to erase, wins like this and sustained consistency will definitely catapult him to the upper echelon. I think Miles and his staff were excellent in the second half; he showed poise, confidence, and made great calls to win the game. If you are going to criticize someone for what you perceive as doing a poor job, you got to praise them when they do a great job.

Also, as an aside I was really impressed with Lee, especially on the last drive to win the game. He did a fantastic job of staying poised and understanding that he had plenty of time left; a credit not only to himself, but the coaching staff too.

Great win!

that Hatch even realizes that we came back and won the game. Even late in the fourth, when the camera panned over to him, he looked dazed. (It looked like right after the hit, when he was wobbling toward the sideline, some of the staff was trying to tell him to stay out there; I hope I am misinterpretting that.) I do of course hope he’s OK, but that unfortunate blow seems to have cost him the starter job.

I had to listen to it, but I went out to a bar later just to catch the highlights. So take this with a grain of salt, but…

Lee’s second half passes (the ones ESPN showed) looked like they still lacked touch. He has the arm strength, but, unfortunately, I think we’ll see some more throws like the interception. Because of that, I think Hatch’s ability to run will remain attractive to the coaches.
