what is the plan for Jordan Jefferson?

We go over this every year.

one play loses your redshirt, but not your medical hardship

 

right. just like i said.

 

miles better?

I beg to differ. I am one of the people in the minority who feel Lee has looked a little better.

Hatch: 17-31 (54.8%) 202 yards 1 TD 1 INT
Lee: 16-28 (57.1%) 200 yards 2 TD 1 INT

You can say, "blah, blah, blah, he is a better game manager."

But Lee is more gutsy and is more willing to unleash the 25-yard pass into a window down the field.

LSU can not win anything of significance throwing only screens and only to the TE's which is all Hatch seems interested in doing.

As far as Jefferson goes, he could be the "Perrilloux" and come in and run some draws and things of that nature.

Him throwing 20-25 times a game would be a train wreck, though. He was 2-yards wide on a screen pass yest in his only attempt.

P.S. How do any of you here know Hatch is a better 'game manager' than Lee? It's easy to manage a 30+ point blowout, which is all that either has seen so far.

 

My view as well. Not only a 5-star, but Garrett will probably prove to be a good get as well.

 

I agree with this completely. Lee has looked better. And worse. But the point is, Hatch has looked consistently mediocre at best to me. Lee, on occassion, shows glimpses of being very good. But clearly he's not ready for a Sam Bradford redshirt freshman act.

Like everyone else, I'm very concerned about our SEC schedule with these two being so inexperienced. But I think those saying they don't have talent - particularly Lee - are jumping the gun.

The Auburn game will be very intersting - yet again. Two teams with questionable QBs and good defenses.

And the UNT QB is a very good college QB. I'm also worried about Auburn expoiting the corners like UNT tried to. But that's a different thread.

 

There was a series last night when Lee was in where he ONLY threw screen passes. It was clear to me that Lee's knowledge of the playbook is just much smaller than Hatch's. That series had the same formation almost every play down the field.

Code:

I think only two of those passes were past the line of scrimmage, and they were slants.

 

what that drive chart Berge posted shows me is a lot of why I think Lee has looked better.

He is doing it with Murphy.

85% of Scott's snaps has been with Hatch at QB.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Most of Lee's completions and yardage has come off of screen passes. And even most of those were not real good throws, just real bad coverage, and real athletic receivers.

 

I agree. Without the threat of a deep ball, it would be a waste and frustrating experience for the receivers like Lafell and Byrd; Hatch can't seem to connect deep, and Lee ,as well as Jordan, seem to be the hope although Jordan is the greenest of them all. However, Lee is very unsettled at this point as he seems to overthrow, long and short balls, esp. when things are pressured.

 

Hatch's consistency is what makes him the better game manager.

Lee's ceiling is substantially better than Hatch's, but it appears that Hatch knows the play book consideradly better.

However, I do think Lee showed a fair amount of improvement from game 1 to game 2 where Hatch pretty much looked the same.
