re: LSU vs. Alabama in the QB department, Nick Saban holds the key!

Can we really call Mett an underclassman at that point? He had a lot of game time under his belt albeit at the Juco level but it was still more than some of the "experienced" QBs referenced in the OP. Just my 2 cents

Yeah he got that point wrong. Mett in 2012 was a 4th year player at the time. A year in UGA with Bobo who has a laundry list of great QB play, a year at Butler that shells out QBs with high passing numbers, then a year at LSU before he started.

Mett wasn't too bad. His pocket awareness and his deep passing game were the major problems, but people probably forgot that we lost like 3 OL and Alfred Blue in the 1st half of the season. The WRs also had terrible hands until November. Mett completes a 3rd down pass against Bama and we are likely 12-2 at worst because we would have won the West. I actually think we had the same chance to beat UGA as Bama did and demolish Notre Dame as well.
