From what I can tell the aren't that good stopping the run, this does not bode well for their offense being on the field a lot against us...


Hence, Jefferson taking more snaps these last 2 games. People bitch but INCLUDING yesterday, Bama is giving up ~75 yards a game rushing. Jefferson got 43 himself AND 3.9 YPC. Bama averages 2.53 YPC allowed.

On the other hand, Arkansas allows ~164YPG and 4.31YPC. Rushing the ball is our bread and butter. 4.77YPC and ~210YPG. The threat of Jefferson will help us win that game.

ETA:
I really like Lee. I love what he's done for us this year. The kid stuck around after a HORRIBLE 2008, didn't play much in 2009, bailed us out several times last year, and played great this year. At this point though, who gives a shite who gets the snaps? Both help us win games and with (possibly) 3 games left, who starts or not doesn't matter. I really doubt they care either. They'll both be instrumental.

Maybe...just maybe...Les, Stud, and Krags know what they're doing. Just maybe.

I see what you're saying, but honestly I'd be more worried about LSU's offense with Lee under center and his play-action passing game. I'd rather worry about containing Jefferson on his scrambles than worry about the deep pass while also having to stop the power run. Our defense had little trouble stopping Jefferson last year.
