quote:For Bama, the problem was the QB. Jalen Hurts' completion percentage was less than 40% and his QB rating was less than 60 when Tua replaced him. Hurts was awful; he needed to be replaced.
but we'll never know for sure, will we?
It's the last game of the season, for the National Championship.
No sense holding anything back. Our offense was utterly ineffective, so ANY COMPETENT COACH would've tried something (ANYTHING!) different, just to see if it could light a spark.
Remember when Saban benched Jalen Hurts at halftime of the National Championship game against UGA and inserted a true freshman at QB. It worked, because Tua led them back to win that game.
That's what good coaches do.
For LSU, the problem was not the QB. The problem was the offensive line. At halftime of the BCSCG, Jefferson had completed 85.71% of his passes, and he had a QB Rating of 116.91. He was not the problem.
At the end of the third quarter of the BCSCG, Jefferson had completed 76.92% of his passes, and he had a QB efficiency rating of 97.08. So Miles could stick with a QB known for his leading his team to comeback victories . . .
Or Miles could turn to Lee:
In the 2008 game against Alabama, Lee had a QB Rating of 69.13 and a completion percentage of 38.24%.
In the 2009 game against Alabama, Lee had a QB Rating of 56.96 and a completion percentage of 40.00%.
In the 2010 game against Alabama, Lee had a QB Rating of 137.54 and a completion percentage of 57.14%.
In the 2011 game against Alabama, Lee had a QB Rating of 14.52 and a completion percentage of 42.19%.
Comparing Lee's QB Rating against Alabama to Jefferson's QB Rating against Alabama in the BCSCG, Lee had a higher QB Rating against Alabama only ONE time in Lee's entire career.
Comparing Lee's completion percentage against Alabama to Jefferson's completion percentage against Alabama in the BCSCG, Lee NEVER had a higher completion percentage against Alabama in Lee's entire career.
Miles can stick with a QB who is completing over 75% of his passes, or he can substitute Lee into the game.

Did you just wake up in 2016?

Salviati - that's a lot of stats, which I appreciate.
But sometimes, a change at QB can light a spark and change momentum, regardless of prior effectiveness.
We just needed to do something (ANYTHING) different to try to give us some energy, because what we were doing CLEARLY wasn't working.
But Les just drove the plane straight into the ground.

The boy yelled that the old man had to throw something to the woman to save her. The old man had two choices: an ice chest and a full keg of beer.

The old man threw the ice chest to the woman. It didn’t seem to work immediately. However, the old man believed that the woman could struggle to use its buoyancy to stay afloat.
The boy yelled at the old man that the ice chest was not working. He screamed at the old man that he had to throw in something else. The old man responded that all he had left was the full keg of beer.
The boy shrieked, “You have to try. The ice chest is not working. Trying anything is better than nothing.”

On top of that he hogged the ball running it instead of giving it to a running back. He had more carries than the rest of the team COMBINED. Averaged 1.1 yard a carry.
Yes, JJ was the problem.

He should have thrown the boy in.

I mean, you know that, right?

quote:Because Jefferson had 53 yards passing. And rushed more than anyone else even if you took out his 4 sacks, which are partially his fault too. Really sacks were a huge issue throughout his career.

LSU should have kept Les Miles on board to do exactly that job in the Football Building - MANAGER, i.e. Equipment Manager. I think that he could have done a marginal job as Equipment Manager, if we were to ignore his occasional flirting with pretty co=eds.

At some point yall have to admit that maintaining some kind of standard for a decade in the golden era of the SEC is not something just any idiot could do.
Once tRantards get a idea going, the ignoramuses will just keep repeating nonsense no matter what actually happened.
The truth is that Les Miles put together the most successful decade of winning football in LSU history. LSU was in rare company as one of the elites for Miles' first 10 years.
1. Boise State — 113 wins
2. Ohio State — 110 wins
3. Alabama — 107 wins
4. Oregon — 106 wins
5. LSU — 103 wins
That's what Miles accomplished starting in 2005 through the next decade. And this is with Urban at Florida, Saban at Bama, and the SEC dominating college football like no conference ever had before.
It's pretty rare for a coach to have that much success without having a decline after more than a decade of domination. Les Miles is going to be a Hall of Fame coach.

Les Miles was a good…era. Looking back at it, I don’t know if it was his management skills or coaching. But he had a Golden Horseshoe up his arse and it worked for the time. I had a good time. The Les years were incredible. I’ll always be grateful for him coming here…and…doing whatever the hell it was he did.

The truth is that there wasn't a right decision at QB in that game.
There was a Zach Mettenberger who honestly should have started from day 1

That is the same team , except for the freshmen class that lost 3 games with Saban! Including a blowout by Ga

The most overrated coach of all-time.
