Honestly, why does everyone keep saying that??

We had a bad game plan and every single player played like shite while Bama played pretty much a perfect game in their do over.

Sure it sucked, but what's the big mystery?? Great teams, players, coaches have shitty games all the time. It happens.

Oh, and if your question is why didn't Lee play, just go back and watch the First Game of the Century, or any other game Lee played against Bama aside from one pass at the end of the game in 2010.

Mystery solved

I really don't see the mystery either. Lee was the highest rated QB in the conference (around 150+ I believe), went into the UA game with everything going for him (success, strong D, great running game) and started throwing picks and curled up into a 'deer-in-the-headlights' fetal position. It could be said Coach Miles saw a distinct possibility of a rematch due to his remark "I would be honored to play that team again". We saw last year Zach may not be the savior we thought he'd be. JJ had done well against UA the prior year (2010). Their line played better than our line and that was that.

The mystery now is :1)is Les going to let Cam run the O completely (I think he will) and 2:)is he going to let Cam make all personnel changes. I'm not sure but I hope so. I The reports on Zach is mixed and if he is not making the grade I hope Cameron has the freedom to have another starter, if we have one better.

(1) JL for at least one series in the BCSNC.

(2) Charles Scott against UK in 2007.

There are a few more, but I think those were genuine risks. You can always change 20/20.

These two seemed strange at the time and still do.

Overall though very happy with Miles and his decision making.

#1 problem with 1/9 is the SEC championship game performance by JJ. 25 yards...fricking 25 yards for the entire game. He had 25 yards against a 3-4 defense that was not as good as Bama and Miles thought it was a good idea to let him play 100% of the snaps in the biggest game of Les's career. An LSU win on 1/9 caps by far the greatest season in the history of college football.
