    I think Miles decided at the start of the year to go with Jefferson as his QB and Lee as his backup and that's how he ended it. I think he should have developed Mettenberg as the year progressed, but that would probably have resulted in a QB controversy which is destructive in itself. As it was, when he needed a QB to win a NC he didn't have one.

    Not sure this was all Miles fault. I suspect the team itself wanted Jefferson as their QB. They got him.

    That amzed quite a few fans. I think most hoped that Kragthorp decided JJ was the best option. JL was the best option as long as we kept the rush off of him.

    This whole QB situation this year confused and frustrated a lot of us. Not at all convinced the coaches believed either JJ or JL were the best fit when you have Mett on the bench. I do believe seniority played too much of a factor in the QB decision. With that said, I still can't figure out reason for CLM unyielding love for JJ, and I suspect I never will.

    I'm OK with it for what it counts. Les is a good coach. We'll be fine.

    As disgusted as I was about our play, its time to move on. What's being said now will only hurt the program and recruiting. Let's concentrate on the spring game and Baseball!

    I have to agree. We got our but kicked in a total team effort. We didn't give one guy all the credit when we won, so why do we need a scape goat when we lose. Bottom line is the team was unprepared which falls on the players and the coaches. Really no need or benefit in trying to figure out who to blame it on. Next year we will have new QBs, so let's just move on.....

    I was out of town for the game but dvr'd it so I could add it to my "collection". First thing I did when I got home was delete that sucker. Like you, I'll never watch it again.

    I deleted that game when Richardson scored the touchdown, and all the BCS shows that were recorded as well, I also was given a LSU BCS long sleeve t shirt for Christmas, luckily I left the tags on it, so I took it back for an SEC championship shirt. I want to forget we even played that game in the superdome.

    I was given THREE t-shirts that dealt with the BCSNCG for Christmas. I guess I can wear them to the gym...
