No matter how accomplished, a coach will always tell you there’s room for improvement.
With some slight inconsistency on special teams in last week’s bout with Oregon, LSU coach Les Miles cited kicking and punting as areas the Tigers need to fine-tune.
Junior kicker Drew Alleman missed his first extra point of the season, but drained two field goals from 32 and 44 yards, respectively.
“Drew had a real interesting game,” Miles said. “In his first opportunity, he misses an extra point. That’s one of those things as a kicker that will unnerve you. I just knew he was going to shift gears and be ready to kick. He comes in and kicks an awfully important late field goal in that game and just drills balls.”
Miles also touched on dropped passes as an area that needs improvement.
Despite the big win against No. 3 Oregon last week, Miles said the team is moving on.
Miles chuckled, saying that his wife wished the win would have counted for more than one, “but it State.”
