If LSU loses this game, Les Miles will have doubled the amount of losses he had at LSU coming into the year, in just one season. It might be time to question whether or not LSU got the right man.
In the last four games of the season, they lost to arch-nemesis Nick Saban and Alabama, then got pushed to the brink by Troy, narrowly escaping what would have been LSU’s worst loss of the decade. With the Cotton Bowl on the line, Ole Miss came into Death Valley and beat LSU 31-10, then to close out the season, Arkansas – yes 5-7 Arkansas, beat LSU 31-30.
Les Miles won a National Championship with a roster still full of players recruited by Saban. Lose this game to upstart Georgia Tech, and Miles will find himself on the hot-seat next season.
