Seeing as they actually call runs to the outside when he's in the game, you'd be right, but it has almost nothing to do with JJ and more to do with the fact that they actually run to the outside in those situation.

With Lee in, Les and company are determined to run Ware up the middle 100 times a game even if he is averaging 1.5 yards per carry.

We also ran extremely well with Lee in last night, so I don't see where your misconception is coming into play.

Ford was averaging 5.8 ypc before JJ came into the fold. Since JJ's been back, he's averaged 5.6 ypc. There is no statistical difference.

Ware on the other hand average 4.1 ypc before JJ's return, and has since averaged 3.6 ypc.

Outside of Blue emerging, there has been no difference.

Ford is the main one to look at because he most commonly runs with JJ in the option game and his numbers haven't changed.

Lee came in late in the 4th Qtr against a physically beat WKU defense. I'd throw that out of the window. In fact I would throw all of last night out of the window but this entire board is having a fit over a lackluster blow out of a cup cake I felt the need to chime in.

I'm not talking stats here either, as the backs are sometime used differently when the two QBs are in. The fact of the matter is, you can clearly watch defenders bite on Jefferson, which gives a RB a split second to make that extra move. Sometimes it doesn't work, sometimes the defense made the right call, but sometimes it does and to discredit Jefferson for that is just as unfair as most of the crap being thrown around between this meaningless QB discussion.
