As long as it was 15-0, I think Les (and me) thought there was always a glimmer of hope... an interception, fumble, kick return for a TD.

I think Les was more concerned that a pick-6 would seal the win for Bama. And frankly, based on Lee's 1st performance against Bama, he had a right to be.

This is probably very close to accurate. But as it became more and more obvious that Jefferson could not move the offense, any coach in America would have tried Lee (at least for a series).

If anything, Lee has proven in the past that he could come in a provide an offensive spark, especially in the hurry-up offense. It was just buffoonery to not at least try something with Lee.

Les said it was his call not to put Lee in, but I would like to know if Krags or Stud wanted to put Lee in (and if so at what point in the game).

Question: why is no one complaining about the poor numbers put up by our stable of RB's?? Answer: Because it's easier to blame the QB. Did anyone see much help from the O-line? They've been great for most of the season but I feel that's more where we lost the game. No running lanes at all, no pocket protection. JL would have been running for his life. We need to get better at defending against Bama's D front. Win that battle Monday and we're all broke buying NC merch today.
Hoping Collins and other young guys are ready to step in....
