moments of a big game. The dude is so unpredictable he gives opposing DC's nightmares.

is one hell of a coach in my opinion. He knows when to pull the trigger and when not to. Saban got completely outcoached tonite.

Richardson is awesome but Lsu owns the secondary and of course the field goal kicker

Play hard and as the game went on they gathered momentum. Oh yeah, he was also willing to let Jefferson make plays. Doesn't seem like luck to me!

Besides winning, he had a superior special teams game. Saban made the mistake of putting Maze in (hurt ankle and all) to field that punt. Miles didn't luck into anything tonight.

they tried long FG after long FG when they should have tried to pin LSU deep. It was a field position game. He sent Maze out there on a bad ankle to return a punt that led to a huge field position change. And they try the gimmick pass when a FG probably would have won it. Not to mention the 3rd downpass in OT when they should have ran the ball for an easier FG.

but he has had an inordinate amount of breaks go his way while at LSU. The bounced fake field goal, the 4 fourth down conversions against Florida, the Ole Miss clock mismanagement win.

There was a game they played when we had our homecoming game last year. I don't recall their opponent, but we were at John Cohen's house for the Alumni dinner and we were watching their game. The game was lost and I said to some of the folks there "don't be sure about that, Les is the luckiest man on the planet". They ended up winning with some unbelievable breaks.

It is just unfathomable that he gets that many breaks, but he does.

I think you may be referring to their game with Tennessee last year. I think Tenn had 13 men on the field to give LSU another play or something like that.
