LSU Closes Practices Early With Oregon Game Approaching

It’s not like Les Miles was running complete wide-open practices a la Pete Carroll anyway.  But now, with a season-opener with #3 Oregon fast approaching, Miles has shut down even the first 30 minutes of practice — stretching, warm-ups, and individual drills — to the media.

According to LSU’s sports information director:


“We had too much reporting on injuries and who wasn’t at practice as opposed to what was going on during practice.  We just felt like it would be better if we went ahead and closed it a few days early.”


Miles originally planned to completely close his practices on Saturday.  But as we noted above, there’s not a whole lot of information to be gleaned from watching calisthenics… aside from who is and who isn’t taking part.  So it’s not like reporters in Baton Rouge have much to complain about.  Miles won’t let ‘em see anything worth reporting on anyway.
