Saturday’s game between LSU and Auburn pitted two coaches
against each other who were on the bubble. Said the commentators: both badly
needed a win; the loser might lose his job. They were right.
Auburn won the game but by only a nose. Final score: 18-13 favor of Auburn.
LSU scored on the last play of the game, but officials ruled that time had run
out, and LSU’s score was voided.
Now word comes that LSU fathers have fired Les Miles. Firing
a coach at mid-season, which is happening more and more often lately, basically
guts any hope for a successful season. Critics say the Tigers had become
one-dimensional, that they’d hung their hopes on the running game of Leonard
Fournette and a second string QB who at least can throw the ball with some accuracely.
The Tigers defense is actually in the Top 25 and compares to Alabama’s but from
here on out they’ll just be scrimmaging. D coordinator Ed Orgeron who was fired
at Mississippi several years ago, and who failed to nab the USC job following
an interim stint as head man after the firing of Lane Kiffin was named interim
at LSU.
“Hold that Tiger," comes the recurring anthem at Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. Now the Tigers are
on hold.
