I think there is no doubt, barring injury, Jefferson will be the starter when LSU plays Oregon. He is clearly the better runner and the team was practicing option plays (to the short side of the field, LSU fans!) with all three quarterbacks in the drills with running backs.


:omg:

What's Krag doing?

I hate to say it, but if JJ progressed at all last season, it was in running the option more effectively.

We're going to see JJ one way or another. The question is how much of the other guys (be it JL or METT) will we see.

What the frick are we running options in practice for. No shite JJ runs the option better than Mett he's been doing it for the last three years.

Short side option - so maybe it was Miles all along?

Hope we are not paying 700k a year for a yes man that acts as a pseudo OC.

Are you kidding me?! We wasted another scholarship and another hire?! Les Miles is an idiot. He can't coach. I miss Saban. Give Tommy Banks the ball more.

Yeah, I think he's jumping the gun, which is why I added the "too early" part. He'll get to see 4 more practices, so we'll see if anything else develops.

It's obvious that Miles called alot of plays. I mean he's on the sideline studying a playchart almost constantly...

It's true we will see plenty of Jefferson b4 Mettenburger...good and bad..Miles will play his senior QB over a QB transfer no matter what hype the kid has coming in.

What a terrible review! All my coaches scream about the option that ain't. Maybe Miles is just showing off what JJ does best! There are a few plays. Then, Krag can develop something better.

I'm sorry you're unable to recognize sarcasm. Question for you, oh super fan, Is Tommy Banks still on the team?
