When Kansas hired Les Miles to be their football coach, everyone knew that he had a high pedigree and that he’d won a National Championship. Let’s dive into that 2007 season before getting to the highlights of Miles’ only championship.
First, the losses. And these are what the BCS committee would consider “good” losses, especially given the circumstances. Both of LSU’s losses were in triple overtime. One was on the road to #17 Kentucky and the other was at home to rival Arkansas. Their 11 wins prior to the national title game came by an average of 19 points per game, a stat the BCS must have loved at the time.
