LSU class helps Les Miles with his grammar

The Tigers are not going to lose *less* than four games. They are going to lose *fewer* than four games.

Les Miles is in the habit of ... let’s say “evading” questions. Like, for example, the answer he gave on Wednesday as to who would be LSU’s starting quarterback. He’s cagey!

But his manner of address could certainly be more concise, less clunky. That’s where LSU communication professor Jay Shelledy comes in.

Best of luck, students. That’s the best/most difficult homework to have right before the opening game of the season. Just remember: when it comes to communication, Les is Miles.
