LSU's Les Miles Proud to be 4-0, No Matter How It's Happened
Filed under: LSU, West Virginia
BATON ROUGE, La. - LSU is 4-0, and coach Les Miles is searching for a psychiatrist. The coach whose mysterious syntax and captivating run-on sentences sometimes drives Tiger fans crazy -- or at least to the dictionary -- minced no words Saturday night after his 15th-ranked team used suffocating defense and the deadly return skills of cornerback Patrick Peterson to dispatch No. 22 and previously unbeaten West Virginia, 20-14, in front of 92,574 at Tiger Stadium. No. 1, Miles said, no matter how atrocious his offense looks under junior quarterback Jordan Jefferson -- whose high, low and wild right and left deliveries had LSU receivers ducking for cover and checking their body parts all night -- he won't apologize for being 4-0. "I think if you look around, you'll find that's a pretty rare occurrence," Miles said, smiling. "I think there are a lot of teams that would like to be in that position." No. 2, he characterized the fourth-quarter booing that rained down on Jefferson -- boos that probably were directed in part at the LSU offensive coaching staff that appears as befuddled as Jefferson -- as unbecoming and improper.
