Link Gumbo - 9/10/15

First, we'll begin with Les Miles radio show on Wednesday night and on the SEC coaches teleconference. Les was still disappointed with the weather that caused the cancellation of the McNeese game. Said the same stuff he said on Saturday night and earlier this week. With regard to how the lost McNeese game may affect LSU's College Football Playoff chances he said "Should we control our own destiny, it won't affect us at all." Basically, win the SEC and LSU should be good. He said that he couldn't believe the last cancellation of an LSU game was in 1918 and that was "just before he was born." Miles believed players benefited from just being out on the field. He felt that they got their pregame and post game regimen's down. And got snaps on offense, defense, and special teams. Les said that "we've made some corrections and personnel changes based on how players have performed going into game week." What that means or what it could foretell, I do not know. And Jalen Mills is recovering quickly and well, but still no idea when he's back.
