re: 2013 LSU QB position problem

A good answer?

Mett was the starter who needed all the snaps he could get this year.

And that's because last year (2011), when we were blowing teams out, the HC chose to hardly give the guy a single rep in a real game. And so by the time 1/9 rolled around, you had what was effectively the next year's starter with practically zero SEC playing time. And the erstwhile starter (JJ) stinking up the field. And the former starter (JL) who won 8 games at the start of the season warming the bench for no clear reason. And this year, the same beat goes on and the problem perpetuates itself. Now picture this: next year Mett is not in the game for some reason or another. Rivers gets thrust into the crucible with no real field experience. What do you suppose will happen?

Rivers is back up, Bolden is 3rd string, Randall is 4th string, the other 2 are walk ons who will never see the field. After next season will have Rivers, Randall, and 2 freshmen.

We kind of knew all this, but thanks for the review.

One point of this thread is that Rivers is apparently the next pretender to the LSU QB throne; and so far, he's got virtually no playing time at all. In case of the unforeseen next season, is he even remotely seasoned to take over for Mett?

Last year, was Mett even remotely seasoned to take over for JJ/JL? What was missing? What is missing?

If you answered: "Playing time" you win the prize!
