Not my fault or your fault again. I didnt build him up this way, the media, Meyer and himself did that. If your great your great, right? Their numbers are about the same. A sophomore making his 6th start vs a Senior who has played almost every offensive snap for the past 3 years. Im not saying that they are on the same level either.
Mastermind is spot on that LSU's ability to pass the ball with Jefferson is on the same level as Tebow with Florida right now, even if Tebow were pressed to play for 60 minutes in a game that was in the balance.
all i know is that Tebow passed up Kevin Faulk for all time rushing touchdowns in the SEC and moved to 2nd place behind Herschel Walker. LSU owes it to "all eyes on 3" to smack Tebow in the mouth for that.
If we lose against UGA...WHICH IS NOT GONNA HAPPEN...but if we do I dont see them taking a chance with Tebow.
The only way he will be on the field is if the doctors give the OK. So if they give the OK we shouldn't concern ourselves with it and just try to blast him as usual. One thing I'd do is take a long hard look at what Monte Kiffen did to him because he sure looked uncomfortable in that game with more happy feet than I've ever seen from him before. One thing I noticed was that when he tried to pass he wasn't finding anyone open or at least not right away. Then he would take off to run and it seemed to me they had Eric Berry spying on him because by the time he got to the line or just past it he was almost always met 1st by Berry.
If we apply the same defensive pressure that we have against Miss. St. and The Cajuns, Tebow doesn't have a thing to worry about. We didn't have a sack in either of those games and rarely had any real pressure on the QB. In fact, if he is allowed to play, Tebow could probably play in a wedding dress and not have to worry about anyone stepping on it or getting it dirty based on our blitz packages lately. Hopefully things change in that area. It would help our D out a lot.
AZ quarterback Tuitama received a concussion on the first play at Tiger Stadium and he was not the same for the entire season. Tebow is tough, but it could change the way he plays, and he is much tougher runner than he is a gifted passer. His big pass plays almost always come because he is such a threat to run, sucks you up and then he goes up top. If they change that up, he is not superman anymore.
Meyer came out and said he expected Tebow to play @ Death Valley in 2 weeks. There is no way he can know right now, so i think he is playing mind games. I don't think Meyer has a clue, and by him saying that, is he going to force LSU at least put some kind of game plan together for the backup quarterback?
