Reality check

We faced a senior Heisman Trophy winner with the #1 defense with 11 returning starters and our offense hasn't looked good all year.
Granted our QB play is lacking,but Christ, he's 19 in his 7th start. We'll get there. I was proud how hard we played. We'll be fine and we will improve.

We've played 6 games. When do you think we'll see these improvements on offense? Next year?

The real reality check will come when Florida drops 2 games this season.

I am not seeing development of the offense as the season has progressed. Granted, Tebow is a phenom, but he won a Heisman when he was a sophomore. I don't expect Jefferson to win a Heisman but I do expect some development at this position more than I've seen and this is directly the responsiblity of Gary Crowton.

I was impressed with LSU's speed, and talent. Yes you need a QB- he might get there eventually, but your team is not chopped liver. I have a lot of respect for LSU.
Good luck the rest of the season.
And yes, our defense won the game for us- they are ridiculously good. We just wanted to get the W, and keep Tebow from getting hurt again.

I agree. At the beginning we said this was a 10-2, 9-3 season. The problem with that is the majority of the people on here think you can have those records without losing. If you know this is not your year then who do you expect to lose too. I hate to lose but I would rather go through the growing pains this year and only lose 2 games but win our bowl game. I was upset I did not see shepard but I understand the situations did not dictate his use especially against the #1 team. Fans need to relax and just give the team a chance. If at the end of te year our sec record is below average then we can complain.

I don't know.I think we will start to see it after the bye and when Auburn rolls into TS. I think JJ isn't seeing the field properly. Clearly, our WR's are not thrown to unless they are wide open. He's afraid of making mistakes and won't let his playmakers make plays. He needs to be coached to take some chances down the field. What good is it to have a 6'6" WR if you don't throw it up???

Your team took care of business. They did exactly what they had to do. Thanks for the ups.Congrats on the win.

I agree our receivers need to challenge jj to get them the ball. Take a few chances. Heck last year we lived on those chances and if we had any kind of defense we win Alabama, Arkansas, and possibly ole miss last year.

Our "best offensive line Miles has ever seen" was getting beat by three DLs.
In the second half FLA started dropping eight back in coverage and Jefferson could fine no one to throw the ball to.
He was running for his life.

When will it be enough? 10th start? 15th start? 20 start? At some point the baby gloves have to come off and you have to start playing football.

I think he said it's the best he's had while at LSU, the potential is there, we aren't executing.

Shoot, Why did we play them ? we should just not play the game if that is the attitude that we should lose going in.

I don't know, but considering all things he's done alright for 7 starts. Think back to Jamarcus...it took him 2 years to become decent. JJ didn't learn under any experienced QB. It's been jut hima nd JL for the most part. When RP was let go, we really took a hit. Even on defense preparation.

It's too early to write off Jefferson as a failure. He had a great game v. Washington, a good game v. MSU, mixed results v. Georgia and a poor game v. Florida. Bear in mind that his worst performances have come against better teams in this, HIS FIRST GO AROUND in SEC play. Unless the coaches have a compelling reason to pull him, I'd start him in the Auburn game--and see what happens. If he's crapping the field, bring on Lee at some point in the game.

Why didn't this attitude apply to Lee?
