Title: How one play changed everything for LSU coach Les Miles Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on November 03, 2011, 08:30:33 AM http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/paul_finebaum/11/03/les.miles/index.html
Quote The television series, better known as the Les Miles Reality Show, was reaching the cliffhanger. I had made the bi-annual pilgrimage to Baton Rouge for the Alabama-LSU game. Instead of a 50-yard line seat from above the field, I watched perhaps the biggest play of Miles career at LSU on a dirty, smudged television set right next to the press box elevators at the bottom of Tiger Stadium. I had mistakenly thought with Alabama leading and LSU way back on its own side of the field, this was the best time to make the mad dash to the field. However, by the time I arrived, LSU, trailing 14-13 with 9:51 remaining, had moved the ball to the Alabama 26. On fourth-and-1, Miles called timeout. Much to the shock of my new friends by the elevator, he eschewed the field goal and was going for broke. Typical Les Miles. Most LSU fans, who had witnessed many of Miles' other gambles, was thinking Armageddon was one down away. As the play began, the peanut gallery started screaming at the television. But it worked perfectly, a reverse with DeAngelo Peterson scampering to the three-yard line to set up the eventual go-ahead touchdown. The jeers turned to cheers and Miles went from dunce to deity. But such is life for the one of most enigmatic figures in the game.

I mean, who goes for a TD with only a couple of seconds left when you are in the red zone and only need a FG to win? He did not do that on purpose, he just didn't realize how much time was left on the clock. That kind of stuff will get you beat eventually. Then they will be calling for his head.
