re: Am I the only one who doesn't like that Hatch will play

Where is the info coming about Hatch this week? JJ is too nervous- get a huge lead and put him in. Let Lee lead....

with scott in the game they are going to be thinking run any way so why not have lee air it out

if Lee goes down we are screwed.

Most teams don't have that mentality. I can't think of the back ups of Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy, Chase Daniel, Pat White, Dirty Sanchez, Graham Harrell coming in "just in case" they get hurt.

You play the qb that gives you the best chance to win. That's why Lee won the starting job. Now, if they want to put Hatch in b/c they think they can shake the D up...then do what works. But, I don't think they'll take out a great passer, just to keep the back up fresh.

At this point Lee will start because he's won the job. The lights went on for him in the 2nd half of the AU game. But I agree Htach needs some PT just so if Lee gets hurt he's not completely cold. He may not be enough to beat UF but it may make the difference whether or LSU beats a lesser opponent if he has to play.

Anyone who says, "Well I would rather JJ than Hatch" can leave now and never come back again.

Friendly reminder.....Lee probably would not have played another down in the Auburn game if Hatch hadn't gotten knocked out....clearly, he took advantage of the opportunity and made the best of it.

However, he looked good at times and sloppy other times....i.e. the mishap on the pass/fumble and the follow-up INT that put MS back in the game......so, before we start nominating Lee as "our #1 man", let's give Hatch a little credit for his steady play while at the helm against Auburn....

we damn well might need him again.....

and, for those that think we need to model ourselves after the OU's, UT's, and Mizzou's, I might remind you that when their QB's went out, they all looked like also-ran teams vs. "world-beaters".

Miles knows what he's doing, so let it play out.
