said he would have LSU at the top again,and we could finally utilize our skill players on the perimeter.Feels good to hear news like that,and get this JJ crap behind us.It's time to move on,quit worrying about things we can't control.

The Rant expects this team to crawl up and die after losing one flipping game.

I agree. Feels good to have a real QB on the horizon and so much talent in the trenches. Now if Les can learn to be less pig headed, along with making a couple of good hires in the offseason, there is no stopping this team in the next few of years.

Yes, the Rant resembles Jefferson's much-discussed pouty-face today.

the question will then be, how good could he have been in 2011?

That's the irony. If he does as well as we hope/expect, then we'll wonder why the hell he didn't play this season.

seems like ESPN is going out of their way to pump LSU some love

Probably for putting us in that rematch that should not have happened without a playoff system

What's to wonder? The fix was in. Mett was told he would studiously ride the pine for a year before guiding the team for two years. He was never going to get a real chance to beat anyone out. That's not the Les Miles way regarding QB's. See Russell/Flynn, JJ/JL. No mystery there.

If we'd just had a QB of Matt Flynn's caliber this year (good but not Heisman college QB), we'd have gone 14-0 and gone down as one of the greatest teams of all time. If Mettenberger can just reach Metty's level of performance, we are golden in 2012.
