The announcement came Saturday night after LSU beat Texas A&M 19-7 & capped each one week filled with speculation & ominous reports about whether or not Miles can be back.

“The reason I came here was because the expectations are so high”, said Miles.

The LSU coach admits the strain was hard as speculation about his tenure in Baton Rouge swirled the past two weeks. Fisher reportedly told Florida State last week, though, that he will be staying in Tallahassee, Florida.

When asked whether or not tonight’s victory affected Les Miles’ job status, Alleva immediately denied any presumption that tonight’s outcome had any affect on the future status of the current head coach.

Indeed, Miles said he did not know for sure whether he’d just coached his last game on the home sideline of Death Valley until after the game. “For that to happen, there would have had to have been a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors”. And I’m very pleased that Coach Miles is our coach. “My policy has always been to wait until the end of the season before saying anything about our coaches”.

On ending the regular season with a loss…

LSU remains the only SEC West program the Aggies have not defeated since joining the league in 2012 – with or without Chavis. Another Miles staple surfaced in his watershed victory – a awful passing game.

Quarterback Brandon Harris continued his November regression and delivered arguably his worst performance as a starter since his first career start at Auburn last season.

When the Tigers finally got a big play to take a 13-7 lead, it came on Guice’s long run. “The guy who delivered our body blows was Leonard Fournette”.

Miles didn’t specify about whom he was referring to, but added the strain it put on him and his incoming recruiting class was hard.

“There’s not a serious overhaul (to be done) because the motor seems to be pretty stinking strong”, Miles asserted.

Whether you believe that Miles won that title because of his outstanding job of coaching a talented group of young men to the pinnacle achievement of their young adult lives, or if you just think he got lucky by inheriting Saban’s leftovers, is a moot point. They blew their third scoring opportunity to open the third period. Taking the ball at the goal line, Guice broke numerous tackles and spun out of several more for a 75 yard return to to the Texas A&M 25. “What a great job it has been to lead a team on Tiger Stadium”. LSU lost to Ole Miss before winning Saturday night.

The win improves Stanford to 10-2, and sends them into the Pac-12 championship game against USC with hopes of a playoff berth still intact, however faint they may be.

Jones said the effort had everything to do with what the Tigers didn’t do the last three weeks. This will likely involve moving on from offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and trying to modernize the offense, although next year’s offense will still include Fournette, the all-world running back and Heisman contender.

The win continues the string of at least eight wins per season for LSU. “LSU played very well on defense”.

Allen finished 15 of 28 for 161 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Allen highlighted the 80-yard drive in seven plays with a 47-yard completion to wide receiver Josh Reynolds.

So — how did we even get to this point in the first place? However, Domingue’s kick from 23 yards out hit the left upright.
