As usual, you're misinformed.
Lee actually improved and had better RAT in games after JJ was reinstated


Yet...Miles benched him for the rest of the season

Well, of course it went up until we played Alabama. Then he turned into a deer in the headlights again. 1 TD 7 career INTs against Bama.

2 INTs on SEVEN attempts in the GOTC.


Miles knew JJ, despite his limitations, gave us the best chance against a D like Bama's. Lee's limitations would have cost us the game. JJs at least left us the opportunity to win if the D and STs could dominate like they had all year.

JJ had very good career numbers against Bama before 1/9. Had never turned the ball over. The game plan was the same that got us to 13-0. Run the ball, don't turn the ball over, wait for D and ST to make game changing plays and then make them pay.

But AJ played great and never turned the ball over and they bled us to death while their deer sprayed front 7 mauled our OL all night with some play book tips from Crowton.

The way their front 7 owned our OL it would have been a ND type blowout had Lee played but we ended up with the slowout with JJ instead.

It is what it is. We didn't get to 13-0 because of QB play and didn't lose the 1 solely because of QB play either.
