re: So it seems the qb controversy has started...

The offense was clicking with Lee in 11, Jefferson gets reinstated and our passing game goes to crap. Sorry, but that's the truth.

That's just not true. LSU had more 200 yard passing games after Jefferson was reinstated than before. More importantly, the offense had its three best games of the entire 2011 season in the three regular season games that Jefferson started.

LSU will go down in history as the only team not to score a single point in the BCS game.

What the coach believed was stupid. And it showed. Now Miles gets to live with his stupidity for the rest of history

Lee was terrible against Alabama. Just terrible. Lee had three of four games with a QB Rating below 70. His average was 68. His 2011 game was a 14. His career completion percentage against Bama was 41%. 12% of his pass attempts against Bama were interceptions. Jefferson had only one game with a QB Rating below 115. His career completion percentage against Bama was about 65%, including the BCS game. In the BCS game, Bama's D used a mush rush, a slowed down rush, against LSU because Jefferson was a threat to run. Bama would not have slowed down their rush against Lee. Miles and Studrawa were absolutely right to save Lee from that defense. He would have been annihilated.

Truth

We just have to hope Cam prevents a debacle like that from ever happening again.

Finally, this thread is getting a little closer to the truth. Cam will prevent a debacle like the BCS game because the QBs will get some coaching, and it will be good coaching. Miles didn't play favorites with Lee and Jefferson. Miles played the QB who gave LSU the best chance to win. Studrawa said the same thing. Unlike Crowton, Cam will help the QBs reach their potential. Lee and Jefferson were handicapped during their time at LSU under Crowton. He didn't coach either one of them. Neither Lee nor Jefferson were coached to their potential.
