is that Jefferson will be the starter against McNeese State.



Is it really THAT interesting of a national story?

We seem to have gone from under the radar to crashing into the control tower.

Meh, it seems to be working. JJ can still bring something to the table, but I don't think it matters who actually starts the game. I'd rather make sure JL is 100% going into Auburn.

Wow... So ESPN is like WTF????

If they compare QB stats side by side, LSU is gonna look really, really, stupid for starting JJ.

Geez. we cant even have a quiet week when we play Mcneese St.

I agree, I'm just perplexed they even mentioned it on sportscenter, much less the lead in story.

It is that obvious to the entire nation that Les Miles continues to start the wrong QB.

Miles says, "The two QB system is working." I say the offense would be even better with #12 getting most of the snaps.

Miles says, "#12 is comfortable coming off of the bench." I say that's a cop out. I say until you start #12 this season you don't really know if that is correct or not. What if #34 didn't start the game against McNeese, and he came in on the 3rd drive of the game and ran for 100 yards in the game. Would you say that #34 was successful because he sat out the first two drives?

You know I thought about this. This might be a situation where Lee just does better coming off the bench.

Its like the 6th man in Basketball that guy at times is the most talented but he just does not do well starting and just needs the pressure off and comes off the bench.

If LSU is a 2 QB team, I don't understand the hysteria over who starts. I'm more concerned in who's finishing which in the last 2 games has been Lee.

The hysteria is equally as absurd as the coach who punishes a player by not starting him but he's in on the 2nd series.

Exactly.

It working, but it could be a LOT better. The more 12 plays, the better we are.

We had NO passing offense until he set foot on the field.

The "does well when coming off the bench" notion is the dumbest thing in all of sports, period.

FWIW, Manu Ginoboli(sp?) rarely starts.

Won't be a problem this week, but next week if JJ starts do we just expect to punt/field goal the first drive At some point this has to stop at least you would think

because starting JJ and bringing Lee in relief has worked so far?

JJ is still getting the majority of the snaps. Maybe becuase hes the "starter"?

Perhaps if Lee starts, he will get the majority, and JJ will come in occasionally.

I think thats how it should be.
