Here’s what LSU coach Les Miles had to say after the Tigers’ 31-14 loss on Saturday night:
Les Miles: “You start a game off and the defense played hard. Offensively you have to move the football and we didn’t.” #LSU
— James Moran (@SmartestMoran) November 15, 2015
Miles: “We faltered at the start of the game and gained no rhythm.” #LSU — Marcus Rodrigue (@RodrigueAdv) November 15, 2015
Miles: “If anybody would think this is a hangover from the Alabama game … absolutely not true.” #LSU
— Ross Dellenger (@DellengerAdv) November 15, 2015
Les: “We gave up three touchdowns on mistakes. You can’t play defense like that.” #LSU — James Moran (@SmartestMoran) November 15, 2015
Miles: I take credit (for the loss). That’s on me.

Miles: “I think our team is going to have a difficult time with this film. Not the effort, but with the position they just vacated.” #LSU — Marcus Rodrigue (@RodrigueAdv) November 15, 2015
Miles: “You will look at that defensive film, and except for three big plays, they played their butts off.” #LSU
— Marcus Rodrigue (@RodrigueAdv) November 15, 2015
Miles: “This is mine. Absolutely my fault.” #LSU — Ross Dellenger (@DellengerAdv) November 15, 2015
Miles on taking blame: “I like my QB, tailback, offensive line is pretty good. It’s something I’m not getting done.” #LSU
— Ross Dellenger (@DellengerAdv) November 15, 2015
Miles for a fifth time: “That’s me. Players did the things we asked them to do.” #LSU — Ross Dellenger (@DellengerAdv) November 15, 2015
Miles two years in a row after #Bama with L: “I don’t explain it. Good quality team shows up when we’re mistake-ridden.” #LSU
— Ross Dellenger (@DellengerAdv) November 15, 2015
Miles on O-line: “I didn’t expect the problem with protection. Gave up sacks, gave up pressures.” #LSU — Ross Dellenger (@DellengerAdv) November 15, 2015
Miles on the OL: “I don’t think some twists and movement are things we have not seen.” #LSU
— Marcus Rodrigue (@RodrigueAdv) November 15, 2015
Les has repeated phrases like “our guys gave tremendous effort and energy” and “we didn’t give them the right stuff.” Falling on the sword — James Moran (@SmartestMoran) November 15, 2015
Miles on Harris: “He started the game not crisp, and I think that affected the offense. There were times when he was on the money.” #LSU
— Marcus Rodrigue (@RodrigueAdv) November 15, 2015
Miles: “Offensively, we have to have a better plan. It’s that simple.” #LSU — Marcus Rodrigue (@RodrigueAdv) November 15, 2015
Les asked about two minute offense: “We were in it from eight minutes on. Did you enjoy it? I didn’t. I would’ve like to be up 10.” #LSU
— James Moran (@SmartestMoran) November 15, 2015
Miles: “We started the game throwing the football. And then we said, ‘OK, let’s see if we can get the run going.'” #LSU — Ross Dellenger (@DellengerAdv) November 15, 2015
Miles said #LSU “felt like it had some advantages” against Arkansas’ pass D. That’s why they started throwing.

Miles: “There’s nobody more hurt than the players that are wearing the purple and gold, nobody more responsible than myself.” #LSU — Marcus Rodrigue (@RodrigueAdv) November 15, 2015
Miles: “I got a good character group of men and they want to play.” #LSU
