Five Ways Lucky Les Miles Could Find a Way To Beat Auburn

Nathan DealOct 20, 2010

It seems these days that ole Les Miles has a big horseshoe under his hat. Sometimes his coaching looks as foolish as Les Nessman from that old TV show WKRP in Cincinnati. Sometimes, he wins completely on luck.

There are many examples of his luck. The last-second pass to beat Auburn. Tennessee having 13 men on the field. The fake field goal bounce that led to a victory over Florida. The list goes on and on.

Here is a satirical look at five ways ole Les Ne.... I mean Miles could sneak out a win at Jordan-Hare.

Onterio McCalebb Trips Over Tee On Way To Kickoff Return For Touchdown

AUBURN - OCTOBER 16:  Kick returner Onterio McCalebb of the Auburn Tigers runs for a 99 yard kick return during the game against the Arkansas Razorbacks at Jordan-Hare Stadium on October 16, 2010 in Auburn, Alabama.  The Tigers beat the Razorbacks 65-43.

You read that correctly. Down 24-21, Auburn's fast back takes the kickoff and finds a hole up the gut. It's nothing but open field! But then..... he trips over the tee at the 30-yard line and falls flat on his face. On the next play, Cam Newton throws an interception to Patrick Peterson, sealing the game.

Gus Run Over By Bus

How ironic... the Gus Bus has a stop sign.

Before the game, on his way to the stadium, Gus Malzahn is run over by a bus driven by none other than.... Les himself. The term "Gus Bus" gets a whole new meaning. Auburn's offense struggles a little more than usual as Malzahn watches from the hospital. LSU wins 24-10.

Cam Newton Dives For The End Zone But Doesn't Make It

Does this ring a bell?

Cam Newton is running down the field on the last drive of the game. Open field, nobody around. He feels like celebrating the win now, so he dives from the three-yard line. But a very, very, very, super-strong gust of wind causes Newton to flip in midair and land just short of the goal line.

You know what happens next... goal line stand.

It isn't that hard, ya'll...

Leading by one with 30 seconds left, Auburn prepares to just run the clock out by taking some knees. But Pugh's snap to Newton is a bad one, and LSU recovers the fumble. Jasper connects to give LSU the win.

Like some games, Les Miles seems to have butchered his clock away down by five. But as it turns out, the refs suddenly realize they ran two seconds off the clock unknowingly in the second quarter. They add two seconds to the clock. Jefferson spikes it. The next play, Jefferson finds Lee on a trick play for a TD.

Other Ways LSU Can Win

- Every Auburn player but Cam Newton hurt; Auburn becomes literal one-man team.

- Patrick Peterson takes Cam Newton pass back for a TD; tells Jarrett Lee, "That's for you."

- Mike the Tiger gets loose from cage; chases Gene Chizik out of the stadium.

- Notre Dame's leprechaun mascot shows up and punches Wes Byrum in the face before GW field goal attempt.
