Anyone else recall the similarities? Les Miles support for Jefferson who was routinely sub par caused #1 LSU to go down to Alabama without crossing the 50 in a national title game. Technically they crossed it once in the 4th but Jefferson took a sack and fumbled on the LSU side of the 50 right after. Les was adored at the time. He had 2 decent years afterwards but his support for Jefferson was the start of the 5 year slide that sent him to Kansas.
