“As much as I would have liked to have put Jarrett Lee in because the program owes him a lot, he really did a great job for us in the beginning of the year and really throughout his career, I felt like it would be unfair to him with the pass rush that he would sustain to put him in late in that game and considering that Jefferson, in my opinion, could throw in a like fashion but could avoid the pass rush,” Miles said. “So that was my call.”

Throwing downfield would make them stop stacking the line.

Jarrett is a better passer

And JJ was just sitting the pocket holding the ball...so he was trapped

so legs didn't matter they way the Bama rushed the pass.

if nothing else you try to stir the team up with some change at QB.

Miles just left the team out to die

First time I have ever heard that it wouldnt be fair to give a player the opportunity to seek redemption and win the game for his school and have a chance to be the greatest hero since Billy Cannon.

Yea def not fair to give a player that opportunity.

Contradicts what Miles has been saying all season, and can't take the rest of what he says seriously now.

No need to feed lee to the lambs with a 15-0 deficit. Bama was out for blood...Let JJ own this one...he didn't get pulled and the gameplan was all about him...Hopefully Mettenberger is a hell of alot better,,,so the receivers continue to come to LSU.

This is what I've been saying all along. Les actually believes JJ is a good quarterback.

The only part of the statement that is in touch with reality.

Seeing Lee repeatedly throw passes to the bench would've been preferable to watching Jefferson get sacked over and over.
