not really. its all on lsusports.net.

If i just linked it then no one would read it, and just claim they know for a fact this happened when they were wasted 9 months ago.

Ive only highlighted 12 games since 2008. Not a whole lot. Obviously I didnt outline all the losses or all the wins that were not in question.

so my short answer is



GT 08
UW 09
Uga 09
I say no, but peeps will argue Ark 09
UNC 10
WVU 10
Bama 10
Ole miss 10

JJ was the qb on our last score in all these games. I leave out UT and UF 10 because of Lee played a roll in those wins also. Plus JJ was the qb in many other games that were not as close or in question of losing.

No. We don't count the Tennesse game. That was all JL. As was Florida

Ole Miss 08 -LOSS

Arkansas 08 - LOSS

GT 08 - GAME WINNING DRIVE IN A 35 POINT WIN?

UNC 10 - DO YOU REMEMBER HOW THAT GAME ENDED?

I guess technically if you kick a FG on your first drive of the game, and win 3-0, that is a game winning drive, but thats not what the OP is asking I don't think.

The players aren't the engineers, they are the laborers.

LSU lost both of those games, one by 18 points. You can argue the method that they lost, but a QB can't "engineer a game winning drive" in a loss.

quote:

GT 08

Don't you think the defense holding the opposing team to 3 points played a little more of a factor than Jordan Jefferson?

quote:

UW 09

I'm beginning to think you don't understand what is meant by "game winning drive."

quote:

Uga 09

I'm willing to give you this one, because if the defense had held up it wouldn't even be in question

quote:

I say no, but peeps will argue Ark 09

I'd actually be inclined to give this one to Jefferson. He had two solid drives that resulted in the points that forced overtime.

quote:

UNC 10

See UW 09.

quote:

WVU 10

First TD drive started on the 7, LSU scores on 4 straight Ridley runs. Peterson punt return for TD. Jefferson hardly factored into the victory.

quote:

Bama 10

Jefferson was the quarterback on the field for what was ultimately the go-ahead drive. 0-1 passing, no carries.

No arguments for the Ole Miss game. Jefferson played well and was a big factor in the victory.

I think the main point is that football is an ultimate team game. Giving one guy all the credit or all the blame is incredibly short sighted.

I could be mistaken, but re: your UF analysis, didn't TM force that fumble inside UF's 15 yard line? If so, I wouldn't say JJ DROVE us to a FG.

That is all.

Yeah i was just highlighting games jefferson was playing and was the qb for the last score. Sorry for putting those 08 i just put those up there cus he was a true frosh and those loses really had nothing to do with JJ. Other games i.was simply stating he was the qb on lsus last scoring drive of the game. Some games lsu just let off the pedal, and some tbe O and D played terrible in the end of game but we still won.

Yes tm did force a fumble. But i didnt give JJ credit for that one cus JJ and JL both helped in that game. But i also highlighted where dbose had a kr for a td.then muncie fumbled it on our kr. So the game was already won if not for those 2 plays. The team not JJ was responsible for tje collapse. Then lee had to drive us one last time to win.

You have to give jj credit. Even if we run the ball and never pass it. He was the qb. Like against wvu. Im just putting this out there so people that think JJ had nothing to do with us winning can see they are wrong. And for peoe who claim lee saved JJ last year more than he did.

I know what the op is asking for. I just put that together so people could make their own decision. If you score and the defense holds the team off, technically there.was a game winning drive orchestrated at some point. Even if the game was already won in the first half.

I think things will be very similar again this year. We will need more than one qb. But some games were closer than they should havebeen, and it wasnt always our qb. I even put where lee went 4-7 and 2 of those were dropped passes. Our qbs werent getting a whole lot of help in some of those close ones.

Funny you ask. Just watch the LSU Fla rerun at Fla. JL went in the game with the score 7-3 Fla. He engineered a drive to the one yard line. Miles subed JJ for JL and JJ scored on a one yard run........

I thought JJ's pouting was a myth invented by everyone who didnt worship at the altar of JJ!
