Yeah, I mean it’s not like Lee could’ve played any worse than Jefferson.
I think, for Miles, it came down to loyalty. Dance with the one who brung ya. Not saying it was the right decision. Frankly, trying to figure out Les Miles is a fool’s errand. He’s quirky.
Besides, it was pretty clear by halftime that LSU had no chance on offense. Their best bet was going to be to shore up the defense, and hope the Honey Badger could make a big play for them.
Instead, the Bama offense kept finding ways to move the ball, and they swarmed Mathieu on his only punt return.
Must’ve been real painful watching that after seeing what Matt Flynn did against the Lions.
