re: The misconception that Jefferson does not open up the running game....

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.

The stats I put up are for the entire season. They are for the first 4 games without JJ and the last 6 where he was a part of the offense. Please show me where he has improved our running game? If anything, he may have hurt it a bit, because we run packages now where Ford isn't in with Lee as much and all we do is run Ware up the middle with Lee in. It's pretty damn predictable and neither QBs fault. It's on Les and the coaches for shitty playcalling.
