Press conference starts at the 20 minute mark. Miles gets a good shot in at Old Man Ted talking about the 80th anniversary of the first LSU Night Game. When asked why the team does so well on the road he responds that it's "A Damn Good Football Team." Breaks out the stat that Mo Claiborne's TD run was the 15th SP Teams TD in his tenure. The team enjoys the compliment of a #1 ranking, but knows there is still work to do. Credits Kragthorpe with Lee's improvement in decision making. Injuries: TB Hebert "day to day" Hurst "likely" Loston "likely" Brockers "likely". At the 33:40 mark Miles gives a concerned response to the potential death of the Big XII. Should JJ and JJ become available (grand jury meets again on wednesday), they'll be added back in immediately, but Miles wouldn't get specific. Miles dodges the "trash talking" question as skillfully as always. Not worried too much about the few busted plays by the defense this week. The decision to burn the Redshirt on Jermauria Rasco late in the game was based on Miles belief that he'll be needed later this year. The multiple 38's on the kickers is by design. The lack of a great pass rush on Geno Smith was also by design as the coaching staff was concerned about how quick he could get rid of the ball. While he didn't play this week, there are also no plans to put a redshirt on La'el Collins.

You know you are awesome at what you do
when you are the SEC player of the week…
…as a punter…
LSU is an 800 lb gorilla. With a chainsaw as a penis.
Surprised...
that Miles seems ok with the ‘tude growing to Miami-like levels. I’m not fond of it, but I trust Miles has a handle on the any big head issues.
Anybody else surprised to see Shep listed as a clear second string to ODB? I thought he would get the"or" designation from seniority, if nothing else. Miles must have seen the last film like the fans did.

Shep doesn't attack the ball in the air.
Either the ball gets to him or it doesn’t.
The two passes he “dropped” in the game were not great throws, but Shep has to go get those passes. He can’t keep running his route and let the ball hit him in the cleats.
2011 LSU Accolades:
"Imperial Intergalactic Overlord Barkevious Mingo" -Andy Staples
"If Alabama's defense is a boa constrictor, slowly sucking the life out of opposing offenses, LSU's is more like a goon that throws the offense into a burlap sack and starts beating it with a stick." -Matt Hinton
"Oregon’s Chip Kelly is generally considered a coaching mastermind. Miles toyed with him here Saturday night." -Dan Wetzel, Yahoo Sports
"I don’t want to say that I think Mo Claiborne is faster than Patrick Peterson…..but I think Mo Claiborne is faster than Patrick Peterson." -Les Miles
exactly, Jonno
theres more to running routes than tracing the steps. Adjust your routes speed in cases (or depth in other cases) where its needed is one of the secret arts of a WR that some guys never understand.
