Former LSU QB Jarrett Lee says booing 'takes a toll on you'

This past week, many fans said they were booing Coach Miles, not Jennings, for leaving Jennings in the game. What's your take on that?

"I think that's probably true. I think that is the case. But as a player, you don't know that. You're coming off the field, you just made a mistake and it seems like they're booing you. Like I said, it takes a toll on you," Lee said.

How does booing affect your performance?

"As you mature as a player, you get thick-skinned. You learn how to take it. As a young player, once you hear those boos, you start to make mistakes. You start to press. And, that just causes more problems," Lee added.

Did that happen to Anthony Jennings?

"I think from experience, he kind of felt the pressure. He kind of felt like he needed to press and make some throws he's not used to doing. When you start to do that, you start to press and I feel that's what happened to him," Lee replied.

You guys devote so much time and work. To get booed has to be frustrating from that angle alone?

"You prepare for these moments your whole life. That's why you come to this school. You're proud. You don't go out and throw interceptions on purpose or are trying to fumble. They happen and you learn from that," Lee explained.
