And truthfully, Les has lost it, IMO...now he's still good for 9 wins off of top assistant coaches and his reputation, but I wouldn't hire him.

So LSU may be in a better position than some others because someone can take that talent and make it better.

That said, Texas gets plenty of talent too...the only difference is LSU today hasn't fallen like Texas had/has.

It'll be interesting to see how it plays out. I'd like to see Miles on Gameday during Championship Weekend (in two weeks) and see if he's any good. Spurrier SUCKED.

A muffed punt is considered the same thing as hitting a member of the kicking team.

So if I punt and your returner runs away, but my shit punt goes off one of my players who isn't paying attention and you recover. You can't advance it.

However, if I punt, you catch, run, and fumble...then I can advance the fumble recovery.

So Toledo controlled their own destiny and choked on applesauce (Valenti'd) to Western. Matt Campbell is a good coach, but shit. I'd be leary of hiring him if I were a big program since he has no MAC titles.

...but in the head and the receiver was defenseless.

It's got to be called, but I don't know what you can honestly do differently. He moved his head out the way and turned and hit him with his back.

All he could do was just let him catch it and jump over him. That's a tough spot for the defender. But in today's game, I don't see how you don't call it targeting.

I don't even think the helmets touched.

In the replay he hit him with his back. But like I said before, it was a hit above the shoulders and the receiver was defenseless. But what do you do if you're the defender? He could've REALLY blown him up and he adjusted his body that he back/shoulder got him instead of the helmet.

Do you just try to push him into the ground and hope the ground knocks the ball free? I mean, I honestly don't know. I'd like to hear an explanation from an official on the proper way to defend that play.

What is he supposed to do, let him catch it? I know it was a vicious hit, but it looked like he did the only thing he could do besides letting him catch it.
