I usually am pretty fluid in Lesisms, but this one escapes me. If I had to take a guess he is referring to the amount of misdirection and fake handoffs that keep defenders occupied.

AUTUmike 79 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I haven't seen LSU play much this year, but I believe I saw that CB Dwayne Thomas was out for the year now. How much of an impact will that have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not all that insane, he's been beating us like a drum for several years now. Yes, he's the proverbial crazy like a fox, I think. As goofy as the guy seems, he has had a ton of success against AU. NOTE: AU and LSU didn't start playing each other annually until 1992. However, since Pat Dye was hired, from 1981 - 2006, AU led the series 11-7 and LSU is 6-1 since (and Miles is 7-2 overall against our Tigers in blue). I, for one, give Les Miles his due (even with the questionable late game decisions). Plus, he's one of the few coaches who I love to see interviewed.

Miles is one of those coaches that frustrate us Auburn fans, because he seems to have our number, but can't beat the turds if they spotted him 30 points. He always seems to find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory when playing those gumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keesler 5,924 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I often times wonder if Les sits down with a dictionary and just picks out random words from the Webster's to use in his pressers. He never makes any sense to others, I wonder if it makes sense in his head? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Mikey, in a sport built around the idea of running as fast as you can to throw your body into another person's body, insanity can be a major plus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMan70 3,277 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 You have to defend both the QB and the RB on the option. So if the defense goes for the QB without accounting for the RB, the defense just "gifted the handoff" to the RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU64 10,122 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Probably Les had just come from church where his preacher mentioned about God "gifting" him with the ability to teach or something... ....and he figures in this case the RB was "gifted" with the football ...kinda the same thing perhaps...but guess that might be better than saying he was "blessed" with the football....but hey....it's Les...who knows why he said what he said?

AUbritt 611 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I wish we still played the gifted handoff offense from last season. I really enjoyed running the ball at will. This season, at least so far, we've got to do something different. Of course, LSU may help us out again. Their run defense has not been up to their usual standards, while their pass defense is awesome. So, perhaps Les is right to fear the gifted handoff. One can only hope!
