He did say in the other thread that his soul was cringing having to pull for JJ to lead us in winning the NC.
Here's what he SHOULD say: "Coach, you made the right decision. I've never...EVER shown that I can put 500 yds of offense against ANYBODY, much less the #3 team in the nation...with perfection on the line". Box Score - LSUsports.net - The Official Web Site of LSU Tigers Athletics Jordan Jefferson led LSU passed for more yards than ARKANSAS!! ARKANSAS!! Get over it you bunch of sore winners!! I CANNOT believe these topics are even being DISCUSSED right now! Damn!
People never seem to consider that the coaching staff sees these guys day in and day out, we see them on gameday. Also, they know the guys, they know their personalities, their attitudes, etc. There's a reason that they keep wanting JJ in there over JL and it's not neccessarily just something we see on gamedays, IMO.
I think it was more of a matchup move than favoritism. Arkansas was very Blitz happy especially from the outside. I think Lee would have been rattled if Arkansas have gotten to him. Jefferson had pressure pretty often today but his ability to keep the play alive with his foot ultimately kept Arkansas blitz happy a** in check. Jefferson ability to stand tall and get rid of the ball in the pocket knowing that he would get leveled really impressed me today.
