As a whole, I agree with you. But, in the context of talking about J.Lee's performance, MSU is actually pretty good at pass def. They went into the game allowing 127 yards passing and got hit for 261 by Lee. Qb's were only completing 42% of their passes. Lee completed 66.7% of his against them. Opposing QB's Ratings averaged 98.5 . . . J.Lee's rating was 164.9 against them. So. . .it's not like MSU was pushover against the pass. Lee just took them to the shed. It's not like he's played against "only" pushovers.
Pegues is an all-SEC player, possibly the best safety right now in the SEC. This was a challenge for us in the passing game and Lee passed with flying colors. I don't think I need to once again mention the stats of the 2nd half of the Auburn game but I guess I will be forced to. 310 total yards of offense and 23 points with Lee throwing 2 touchdowns against a top 5 defense in the nation (where they will most likely end up at season's end). That's insane numbers. Lee led that attack. I vote that he has had enough "sampling" at this point.
