What if after securing a berth in the BCSNC game Les and the boys want to try to implement a speed of play similar to what Oregon does when on offense? To do this both quarterbacks would have to be able to run either type of offensive style. It seems that JJ and JL ran the offense that is more suited to the other's style of play. If we implemented the hurry-up "O" we could run a quarterback in and out according to our whim and take advantage of the defensive personnel we face. Perhaps even including running a "new" quarterback on after every play. Total mass confusion for a defense...easy scores for us.

I kind of like this idea but doubt this is where clm is going with his play of the QB's.

Our offense looks just as confused whenever Jefferson is in the game.

Clue number 1: Stop trying to think.

Why would CLM deviate from what's working? If LSU goes undefeated, there's absolutely no reason to change what's worked.

Good God.

Maybe JL got hurt vs. Alabama. You know Miles does not like to disclose information like that. Why don't y'all shut up and let him coach?

IMHO, there has been far too much made of the QB situation since day one. I believe Miles is a far better coach than many give him credit for and I trust his judgement on who to use and when as well as how to extract best opportunity to win using the best combination of talent he has available.

This just invites trouble and results in the type of confusion rarely seen... except when we play Tennessee or Ole Miss.

The only thing keeping from saying this is completely retarded and saying that it's only mildly retarded is that we already practiced doing this.

It's how we got the defense ready for Oregon's speed, remember? Lee would take one offensive squad to the line while Jefferson was off on the side getting the play called for his squad, then as soon as the play was over, Jefferson and company would come to the line and Lee's squad would run off and prepare for his next shift.

In a gametime situation, though, this is not a good idea. Also, I'm not so convinced there's not some obscure substitution rule that would make this scheme illegal.

The key to the hurry up is no substitutions and quickly getting set so the defense cannot sub either.

Subbing a quarterback in and out means the defense also gets the right to substitute players.

So you've essentially removed your ability to run "hurry up" by subbing a player.

But you knew that already and this thread is one big troll job..........right......?

Now that I have calmed down a bit, I can see the logic in CLM giving JJ the start. Let him get out there and put a full game under his belt, work on some techniques, give our future opponents something to have to game plan for. Still not happy with the decision but it is starting to make a whole lot more sense.

in the recent past, when the team needed to move the ball in a short time, JL ran the team. even last year when he never started, he got to run the team in the 2 minute (or less) drill.

That was (and maybe still is) because JL could pass better (most of the time).

With any luck, Ole Miss will be another practice game for both QB's and they can each run the opposite QB's plays, as happened in WKU game, with JL sprinting out and JJ passing a lot.

I feel like the fact that both QB's were NEEDED, to practice the hurry up vs the Oregon Ducks, got them both ready. Thank goodness JL was ready for Oregon.

So you're saying that if we get to 13-0 and play for the MNC, we should change everything that got us to 13-0 to run a scheme we've never run before, because it would be easy to score on the confused defense? Oh. My. God.
