It was successful with Bert Jones.


Did you ask Bert about this? He was NFL MVP in 1976. Why would this guy only play half of every game in college. I recall a quote when he said the highlight of his LSU career was graduating. Pretty sure that was meant as a jab at Cholly Mac’s system. I don’t think he was a fan of it.

I worked for Bert when I was a lot younger. Bert said they played two QB’s because his coach liked to create experienced depth in case the starter got injured. And no he didn’t have a problem with it. Back in those days the rules did not protect the QB.
