Ron Higgins comment in a Times Picayune article dated 11/20/15 concerning LSU's Loss to Notre Dame in last seasons Music City Bowl was a self serving statement. Higgins is just now finding out that Miles' offensive play calling and selection is not good enough to compete with the top teams in the SEC and that Miles is from the old school. Well lets see, Miles has been at LSU for 11 seasons and Higgins is just now understanding Miles problem. This is the same Higgins who said LSU would beat Alabama this year and early on predicted LSU would throw to its tight ends more and have them more involved in the offense. Yeah right, it did not happen.
Jeff Duncan in a Times Picayune article dated 7/31/15 took issue with a USA today Amway coaches pre season poll that ranked LSU 13. Duncan took issue with the poll and said LSU was a prime candidate to be in the playoff position and that the poll did not give LSU enough respect. This writer wrote a commentary here in "PolitiDose" dated 8/1/15 titled, LSU, Jeff Duncan and the preseason football poll and explained why ( 3 reasons) the coaches poll may have ranked LSU 13.
As of this date the coaches poll has been accurate. The third reason this writer gave in the commentary should have been realized by sports writers long ago and all three reasons played a role in why LSU fell out of the top 10. One has to remember, it is not how you start the season, its how you end it.
