08:31 AM ET 09.13 | Though the numbers seem to be fairly significant, Les Miles said Wednesday a recent and sudden increase in attrition will not adversely affect the Tigers. Miles, speaking at his weekly post practice press briefing, said despite having lost 12 players since the summer and seeing his roster shrink to 74 scholarship players that "we've got plenty" enough players to move forward. Starting linebacker Tahj Jones was one of four players academically ineligible for the season, a source told the Times Picayune. Miles confirmed they would not play but did not give a reason. ... The attrition is one of the main reasons 13 LSU true freshmen have seen action in the first two games, and the number who redshirt will likely be the lowest in Miles' tenure.

While I am not sure that Miles could have done anything about the Mary Jane issue or injuries the academic casualties fall squarely on him. The program should have what is needed in place to make sure kids are going to class and getting the grades they need. More just getting the grades they need than actually going to class. :-)
