I get it. Its the end of the game, and we can run the clock and lock down the W, but... I would have loved to see the coaches show confidence in Lee and go right back to him, even if its a five yarder.

The fact that they didnt let him throw it again and let him in the game that way sort of left me with the feeling that he was in a way being repremanded.

They actually called a pass play to Randle on 3rd down late in the game, but then called a timeout and the play was blown dead right before Lee threw the ball. After the timeout, ran up the gut.

My buddy who is always saying we should be more agressive, said last night after the INT...(next possession)

"I would run it here also....game over..MSU is tired"

I don't know about the reprimanded part but I was wanting him to throw another pass before the end of the game. Always hate for your last throw to be an interception.

Nah not at all. We just didn't need to throw the football anymore. We have very little to gain from a passing attempt. And if I remember correctly we were going to run a passing play after on 3rd and 7, but called a time out right before. Then came back in with a running play.

This game should have been great for Lee's confidence. Hard to beat 21 for 27.

??????????

Get real.

It's late... all you had to do was run off about three minutes on the clock and MSU's chance at victory was practically zero.

thats what i was getting at... i know all we had to do was run it a few times and game over, but to show condince in Lee knowing we didnt have to i thought would have been a pretty cool attaboy for a great game.

i guess thats why im not a coach though.

The play wasn't a great call. We didn't need to throw it up like that.

But unless Lee audibled that play, it was what the coaches called, and they knew the risk. I don't see them reprimanding Lee for something that was as much their fault, and RR's fault, as it was Lee's fault.

Plus, we were winning in the end of the game and our running game was churning out yards. No need to throw it.

During the game, I was waiting for the nail in the coffin...but at the end of the day, we won and passing wasn't needed.

I dont want to throw the ball in the 4th quarter unless we have to.

Hmmmm worry about JL feeling reprimanded or securing the win??

Seriously bro! This is rantard material. JL obviously wasn't being punished. They only way we lose the game would have been a TO that resulted in a quick TD for MSU.

I agree. I couldn't care less if we pass it at all. The key here is WINNING. If we don't have to pass it then why try. Jared will be fine.

I thought the same thing last night, but really, if you step back and realize....

a) the season has really just begun; we'll see plenty more of Lee and him throwing passes.
b) Miles wanted to secure the win

As others have said, we shouldn't have thrown the ball to begin with at that point. A couple 1st downs and the game is over. The OL was dominating at that point and we were running at will. Throwing the ball that late always adds an element of risk of a return.

I totally agree with the OP. I sometimes think Les has it out for Lee. I mean do you honestly think Jefferson has been our best option the last 3 years? Not leeting him throw after that pick is ridiculous. You saw last night this kid had the second longest streak of completed passes in school history and there have been many qb's run through this school. I'm not even sure that pick was his fault. Randle cut off his route with what looked like man coverage but either way don't see how Lee could have predicted he'd do that. Miles needs to get over his ego and let the kid play ball.
