    Why is his opinion nonsense and how is what you say not speculation? Be consistent.

    Wow, you call b.s. on "nonsense and speculation"... and then you immediately follow that with more speculation.

    At the end of the day, both games were team efforts.

    Jefferson has a long history of the same. Only he never gets benched.

    All of us have seen how they play when it matters. Who gives a rat's ass about practice at mid-season?

    We're talking about Les here! The man works from passion, not from logic.

    I don't agree with that at all. JJ had two really bad games: Vandy and WVU. And they weren't even losses! Other than that, JJ has made mistakes, but nothing compared to the mistakes JL made that costs us games. Last year, JJ was not that bad for a first year QB behind a terrible line. He did not make stellar plays, but he didn't make too many mistakes.

    I suspect that is partially because they don't trust Lee not to self destruct to the point of completely falling apart. If they had another option (after Lee) that was more palatable, I think that they would have switched. But they don't so we will never know. I think they are doing a fine job of keeping both as contributing QBs so that they will have at least one if Lee goes off the deep end (which it looks like that is what they are worried about by the way they are bringing him along slowly).

    I really hope you didn't mean that... How long has it been since you played an organized competitive sport? Is your memory that bad? Practice means a TON!

    So you are buying that hype eh? I say BS to that. I think he works from logic and panic. His logic leads him to the realization that passion is a good thing that should be nurtured (unlike coach Satan that always spat on emotion). It is logical to be passionate about college football and to nurture the players. It just makes sense. Then there is the side of him that panics under pressure. My theory is that he is trying to hide that panicky side by feeding us this passionate persona. :)

    I think that when Lee comes in for one or more series, Jefferson has been benched. If Jefferson was hitting on all cylinders and there were no offensive issues, Lee wouldn't be playing, in other words.

    I've decided to stop questioning the decisions being made by the coaches, mistakes and all - just keep winning!

    Maybe when Les was an O Line coach at Michigan, he decided to go out, got hammered and was a wingman for one of his buddies. His buddy finds a chick (who also has a friend from out of town) buddy gets the girl and Les gets the girl's friend who just so happens to be from around St. Rose area. Well, 8 hen dogs later he is gettin it on with the slimstress without a jimmy and springs a leak. 9 months later Les has a son in Louisiana. The woman names him Jordan, but they both decide to keep in on the low as long as Jordan gets a scholarship to play football for wherever Les is coaching. The deal is struck.

    Honestly if you have a kid in sports, or used to play sports as a kid, who is the 1 kid on the team that gets preferential treatment? The coaches son.

    I couldn't agree more. The way JJ acts when a WR drops a pass is just horrible.

    It is very clear that you do not know what the word "speculation" means.

    Also, how do you get "Jefferson = 2 FGs" when he rushed for two TDs himself? I get the feeling that you don't know what nonsense means either...

    Saturdays game should be Lee's warm up game to get the kinks out (the entire game), he's the only QB we've had in how long to beat Auburn in their place. Auburn could be the game he becomes THE QB at LSU.

    He's rushed for 2 TD's off of drives that Lee lead all the way to the goal line. Any number of our backs could have ran it in from there. That counts for Lee drive not JJ.
