Yes,he did!
He started most games. Split time his first yr with Paul Lyons.Mac used 2 QB system to change tempo of game. Was NFL MVP in '77. Neck injury cut short a HOF career.

Yes he did. Mac turned to him when Notre Dame came to Baton Rouge and from that point on he started. Yes, the relationship between Jones and Mac was a little strained at times, but Mac still knew what Jones could do in terms of passing. The triple option was in vogue at the time and Paul Lyons seemed to be able to run that better. However, Lyons could not pass like Jones could. Jones was the better overall package. Unfortunately, LSU didn't use his true talents as well as they could have.
By the way, I don't think Booty could have carried Bert Jones' jock strap. Jones had a couple of pressure games that he pulled off that Booty didn't. Notre Dame and Ole Miss were a couple. Jones is a solid guy. I have no qualms as to his character as a man. Again, the guy's ok.
