Are you happy with the performance of Jordan Jefferson?

Yes!

I just rewatched it. After the TD;

1) Lafell doesnt even want to get up, he just sits there. TT has to literally pick him up
2) JJ runs down to celebrate with him, but Lafell just walks toward him yelling
3) Lafell walks right past JJ, still talking. JJ has a WTF, look on his face
4) Lafell then jumps to chest bump Richard Dickson, further up the field
5) The camera follows Lafell to the sideline and he just shakes his head from side to side
6) Miles grabs Lafell to talk, and Lafell looks unhappy
7) Reverse angle shows Lafell wide open, but barely making the catch on a low throw

Pryor > Jefferson.

But, I was pleased.

I noticed that as well. I would hate to think he was jealous of tolliver having a big night. Hopefully that attitude doesn't pressure jj into forcing the ball to lafell as lee did last year.

yep, always about race for some of ya'll isnt it. I havent seen anyone after this game saying anything about flynn or mauck being better than JJ. but, those that want to play the race card will always find a way to play it i guess.

Jefferson started 1 of 5 and finished 11 of 19. That means he completed his completed 10 out of his last 14 passes! Good stuff.

P.S. OH58 you are an idiot.

I thought he did pretty good.

Was I the only one that thought "oh shite" when he went out and Lee came in? How about Lee's pass to Holliday? What a perfect throw!

You've got a USC fan here dissing Jefferson, and a poster who named himself after one of the most disappointing and damaging-to-LSU athletes in the history of the school, who paints himself as a UNO fan.

To you two, I say

and go on your own damn message boards an sow dissent.

3 TD, O INT.

LSU Win.

Jefferson was running for his life due to our OL not giving great protection. If not for his heady play UW would have had sacks and had Lee been in the game, numerous INTs.

A win is a win. No picks is a HUGE improvement from last year.

Jefferson shows fire, leadership, and poise when under pressure.

Show me any other QB on our roster who has played in a game that does the same. There aren't any (of course for those less well endowed in the reading comprehension category -- note that I wrote "who has played in a game").

I am pleased. He was given a very conservative game plan and executed it, while protecting the ball.

It seems to me that they are trying to get this kid some confidence... a lesson that should be learned from what happened last year.

My guess is that Les and Co. knew we could win this game by playing very conservatively and by not making stupid mistakes--while at the same time letting JJ get his legs under him.

Next week they will open it up a little more... incremental progression, so they'll be ready for the big games.

I'm more worried about the defense than JJ; he's the guy we need. Good manager, good decision maker (so far).
