Les Miles Presser - Auburn vs. LSU

[RunInRed 12,425]

Miles on the LSU Tiger Stadium during Auburn: "Should be deafening."

...

Miles on LSU's penalties: Says they cost Tigers 200-plus yards and 17 points.

...

Miles on Fournette at State: "Performed excellent on the day."

...

Miles on Harris: "Only going 2 get better. If he maintains that relaxing composure and doesn't try to make play out of reach, he'll improve"

...

Miles on LSU D and Steele: "First game in the conference, did a great job."

...

Miles on Auburn: "Very talented. Got into an OT win vs. Jacksonville State. Jacksonville State is a good FB team."

...

Miles on Muschamp: "Done a wonderful job there. His teams have always played an aggressive style of defense."

...

Miles on Harris: "I enjoyed how my quarterback played. I suspect he'll get better."

...

Miles says Maea, Will Clapp or Boutte will start at one of LSU's guard spots.

...

Miles on Orgeron and LSU's pass-rush: "First of all, the two veterans - Neal, Bower - are both guys who have really improved."

...

Miles: "Arden Key is going to get nothing but better. Wing span is huge He's going to enjoy playing in his career."

...

Miles just called Rickey Jefferson "ballistic," I think.

...

Miles on only 3 WRs playing vs. State: "There's a need to get a quality of play you have to play to."

...

Miles on 2 p.m., hot kickoff: "Hydrating at the cellular level is the new buzz word."

...

Miles says you have to get water, hydration to the "different" parts of the body.

...

Miles on Isaiah Washington (broken hand): "Isaiah Washington will practice this week. That's good news."

...

Miles says the LSU D-line was "getting off blocks." "When the QB carries the ball, there was no place to go."

...

Miles asked if LSU's game plan was conservative: "We labeled it as imperfect. Things we'd like to get accomplish we called."

...

Miles on game plan: Notes LSU's penalties costing Tigers 200 yards and 17 points.

...

Les asked if he views Auburn differently after J-ville State scare. As you'd expect, he said "It makes no difference whatsoever."

...

Miles on Harris' performance/improvement: "Pretty accurate. Very, very accurate. Things we asked to do in run game, did exactly."

...

Miles asked how much he relies on history of coaching vs. Muschamp: "He does the thing his players do best."

...

Miles says LSU is looking at Muschamp's defense at Florida, film-wise.

...

Miles on Diarse's hold: "That was a great effort hold."

...

Miles on Jalen Mills update: "Very positive. I think he's really in position where he's running on a treadmill (on water)."

...

Miles says he'd "be guessing" if he gave a Mills time table for a return.

...

Miles on Auburn WR Duke Williams: "Tall and can go up and catch. Good player."

...

Miles on LSU playing no SLB: "One back formation" by State led to that. "We look forward to get Lamar Louis on the field."

What the hell is he saying????

[Tiger 8,524]

What the hell is he saying????

Les Miles knows the answer he's going to give before the question is even asked.

He's kinda like Jeremy Johnson I guess lol

He's kinda like (Jeremy Johnson) I guess lol

Too soon? :-}

[Tiger 8,524]

Haha all in good fun. Wasn't an angry comment. It's not like JJ doesn't know he's deciding what to do pre-snap anyways. Better than saying HE SUCKS BENCH HIM.......after 2 years of clamoring for him to come in the game lol

[AUtiger98 24]

How can so many coaches say this out loud without following it up with "just kidding"?

Miles on Auburn: "Very talented. Got into an OT win vs. Jacksonville State. Jacksonville State is a good FB team."

[cole256 15,884]

Maybe the people that actually know football are a little more enlightened than you?

[alabamabrown14 9]

Jacksonville St. is #1 in the FCS rankings....I think that proves they are a pretty good team.

[AUtiger98 24]

Maybe the people that actually know football are a little more enlightened than you?

So how many Auburn Fans do you think spent Monday morning telling Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia fans how good that JSU team was?

[AUtiger98 24]

Fair enough. Where do you think they would rank in the SEC?

[alabamabrown14 9]

LOL...they probably would have given many SEC teams fits. probably could have beaten Vandy, SC, maybe Kentucky

I think JSU is a good football team. They were well coached, and executed well. They played hard and maintained composure until the last 2 minutes of the game. They aren't as talented a team, as other "good" teams that we face, but from all other objective factors I'd say they were pretty damn good.

That being said, it didn't matter who we played, Les Miles wasn't going to come out and say "yeah can't believe they almost lost to _________." You've got to give everyone their due respect. Maybe we would have played better against JSU with that attitude.

[Barnacle 7,988]

Maybe, maybe not. Every team in the country is capable of playing like dog crap. If Ohio State came out and played with the lack of focus, execution, effort and game-plan that we played with, and JSU played like they did, I think they would give OSU fits too. Look at what happened to Arkansas. Every team is susceptible to it.

That being said, you have to have a standard to play to, and we failed to coach and play to our standard.

Being kind and generous, but we all know that Jack State should not have been able to mount any type of threat against AU.

In all honestly I agree JSU is a good football team for their division and they deserve a lot of credit for their performance this weekend (Glad the polls reflect this). In addition, I don't think a coach would ever say disparaging remarks about JSU or Auburn (or any other teams in a similar situation).

That really don't have anything to do with what you said though....You said how do coaches not sicker saying they're a good team...maybe because they really feel they're a good team. I'm not saying they should have beat us or even been close to but that wouldn't mean they're not a good team...Things like their poise and how accurate their timing routes were??? That's a good team man

[PoetTiger 1,790]

Miles gives the best interviews...gotta love him....

Patrick Towels can read coverage and Connor Mitch before he was hurt could

totally agree

[aucanucktiger 1,552]

fwiw, it would be interesting IMO if Will assigned a QB "spy" for this game, though that often falls to a dominant, athletic, experienced, aware linebacker and I'm not sure who fits that bill. Garrett? Tre without the experience part? Could be a hybrid player too. Would be a waste to do it with Carl. Seems like a worthy idea in light of our dual-threat QB struggles so far but the downside of course can be some plays (unless its 3d and long) can be like playing with 10 defenders.

That is actually the one role that Frost is fit for. Dude is dominantly athletic. And, good or bad, he's hugely experienced. Aware? Well, maybe if he only has to be aware of one thing...
