Lee was never going to play.
There was a fallout between not just Lee and Miles, but Lee and the team. Not necessarily any collection of individuals on the team, but on the team as a whole. Maybe the class rumors were true, maybe it was something else. However, it was clear that Lee was never going in that game. Miles was not going to play him.
In my opinion, based off of Miles' character, Lee didn't deserve to be in the game as a result of something he did. Something that was more important than winning and losing. Some sort of selfish act that could have been a betrayal to the team. Would Saban have played Lee? You know it. But Miles is Miles, and he's going to do things his way. It's his program. And I love him for that.
Miles proved by not playing T-Bob and Shepard that he wasn't playing favorites. If Lee didn't see the field, there was a behind-the-scenes reason for it. Maybe Miles was actually protecting Lee by not releasing this reason. I guess we'll never really know for sure. Miles did what he thought was right, and that is the one thing that I won't question. Not about this man.
ETA: "It was fair that he finish." - Miles on Jefferson regarding the Jefferson/Lee situation.
That's a very telling quote to me.

Wow, that is quite an opus. Miles stayed with JJ because Miles has too much character?
You realize that JL was not the only other QB on the sideline. If you watched the game you also know that JJ played about as bad as a QB can play and that we had no chance to win that game with him "triggering" the offense.
If there really was some reason that Miles could not put JL in the game, he could have tried one of his other highly recruited options.
Miles stayed with JJ out of pure stubbornness. He heard the fans booing and refused to let them get what they wanted...which was some semblance of a chance to win the game. He stuck with JJ not out of high character, but out of a lack of character.
He played favorites at the expense of every other player on our team. Shame on Miles for that.

My thoughts EXACTLY.
There is only one other scenario to go along with this, and I don't think it has been mentioned. I believe Miles is a man of his word to his own detriment, at least tries to be. I believe he made some promises to JJ and his family during the recruiting process. Maybe something to the effect of how he was so confident in JJ the he would guarantee that he would play as long as he gave LSU a chance to win. Probably didn't have the same type of recruitment as Lee. I know Lee's dad was very involved in Lee coming to LSU, and maybe the differences in the two relationships is why he always leaned toward JJ. I don't know ANY of the details surrounding the recruiting of these two, but it would make sense to me if that had some influence over things as well as how they both have functioned on the team, on and off the field.

That was really obvious during the first 8 games of the season when we had something that actually resembled a college football level offense for the first time in years. The line didn't block, the running backs were laying down, and the receivers? They obviously hated playing with a QB that could actually get them the ball. Yeah, the team was totally dysfunctional when JL was in. If there was anything there, it was when the cancer returned.

thats why the post-game quotes from the players were puzzled about why Lee didnt play, and reports of them requesting Lee.
you and the rest of the JJ fanclub need to stop with your lies.

Absolutely not true.
