See the problem with this statement is that you assume that Les Miles doesn't have his hand in the cookie jar. Les has a bad way of calling redundant run plays and wasting downs. Just as he will not let RP throw, he won't let Crowton pass either. This is whom we've crowned our "savior".
Flynn looks like he re-injured his ankle. I feel bad for Flynn. If we weren't ranked #1 and in position to play for a BCS title, his "warrior-like" play (i.e. playing thru injury) would be glorified by all LSU fans... But when you're in the National Title hunt, were a loss could knock you out of the hunt, as fans, you don't want the "hurt warrior" in the game any more. You want the healthy, talented Soph.
