Monday with Mike: LSU’s Lucky Les

You also won’t see a coach who is luckier than LSU’s Les Miles.

One season after a colossal case of clock mismanagement led to a loss at Ole Miss, Miles and his offensive staff actually topped themselves at home against the Vols. But an egregious error by the Vols gave LSU new life, and the Tigers were able to make it pay off. CBS broadcaster Craig Bolerjack rightly termed it “a miracle.”

Tennessee led 14-10 and faced a fourth-and-1 from LSU’s 31 with 5:47 left. Vols coach Derek Dooley disdained a field goal and went for it — but the call was a run up the middle by Tauren Poole, who went nowhere.
