Well if A&M was a good defense the only QB who led a scoring drive was Max Johnson in the 4th Quarter after Finley was benched.

Arkansas had a terrible Defense and the winning TD by Finley was a terrible pass which was behind the receiver who made a great catch of a poorly thrown Finley pass.

You calling the Florida Defense poor is self serving at best. Truthfully, LSU would have lost both games vs Florida and Ole Miss had Finley played.

Calling Auburn a good defense is also questionable as the Aubies finished 6-4.

How and why any of you want to glorify TJ Finley after his showing in 5 (half) of the games last season is beyond me.

Finally regarding Boutte “going off” in the last 2 games, well he had a QB who could get him the damn ball. If Finley was the best QB for LSU then I would acknowledge that fact. However, to penalize other QBs just to attempt to and hope TJ gets better is ridiculous. Finley is too slow of foot and too slow to process information and as a result cost LSU the ballgame at A&M. Period.

Max’s Drives vs A&M

Drive 1: 4:36 3rd Down 20
6 plays -4 yards punt

Drive 2: 14:02 4th Down 20
5 plays 9 yards punt

Drive 3: 9:38 4th Down 20
3 plays 6 yards punt

Drive 4: 4:38 4th Down 20
14 plays 81 yards TD leaves 38 seconds on the clock

That is a junk time TD drive against a defense just trying to let us run out the clock.

When A&M was trying he looked just as bad.

My point is that Finley should be glorified.

It’s that people shouldn’t bury the guy because he didn’t look as good against Alabama and Auburn as Max did against Ole Miss, the statistically worst defense we played all year.
