I hope this isn't insinuating that Jefferson should mimick Crompton's numbers when we play Bama.

k, JJ is more accurate and has way better WRs than Crompton/UT.

I am saying that it doesn't take a great quarterback to beat Bama.

I am saying that Crompton almost led Tennessee to a win over Bama.

I am saying that it appears that Jefferson is playing at least as well as Crompton.

I am saying that I hope LSU throws the ball as much as Tennessee did against Bama.

Take out statements 2 and 3 and I agree with what you're saying.

You don't agree with:

It wasn't Tennessee's rushing. They didn't run for a touchdown.

What makes you think that Crompton is playing better than Jefferson?

The two statements in conjunction are crap. Just because Crompton had a good day against them doesn't mean that Jefferson will.

This. Not to mention that Crompton's peformance was by far the best by any QB all year long against Alabama whose defense was worn down anyway. Keep in mind, Snead and Mallet have the two lowest single game completion percentages of any FBS QB this season, both against Alabama.

Thats a good point. 36 passes and 35 runs, quite telling.

I'm also interested in seeing what D plan the Vols had against Bama.

Of course not. I never said that it did. I know all about causation. That's why I made the two sentences seperately.

What am I saying is that a quarterback with Jefferson's level of ability can beat Bama; in fact, he almost did.

but it does make a little bit of an argument against those that say since Jefferson had a bad game against florida that he can't have a good game against bama.

More importantly, Crompton didn't overachieve against Bama. His stats against Bama correlate with this stats for the season.

It's not like Crompton completed a higher percentage of passes against Bama than he usually does.

To win this game all the fazes of LSU's game will have to show up positive in some shape or form. It is not on just one player's back as ESPN seems to think about all these great players each week. In order for the QB to do his job effectively the recievers have to run their routes correctly of the reads that both get from the defense, also that OL does it's job effectively. So one player does not win a game it takes several pieces coming together at one given time each time they snap the ball during the game. So, the next time tries to tell you that it is in one man's hands for them to win the game, that is not true. If it was then why do they have 11 on offense and 11 on defense. JMHO!

I say LSU 34 Bama 27

I say

I'm not a big fan of comparing performances in just one game to prove a point. If you compare JJ & Crompton's performances against Georgia, Crompton outperforms him. If you compare them against Auburn, JJ does better. Just seems to go back and forth. Not to mention, Crompton is a senior and has alot more experience than Jefferson.

My biggest fear is Saban blitzing the snot out of Jefferson the whole game and get him rattled early. Unlike Auburn, I think Bama's secondary can cover our receivers better against the quick throws.

Hope I'm wrong.

Past performance does not guarantee future results.

However, the best predictor of future performance is past performance.

What I am primarily trying to say is that a quarterback with Jefferson's skill level can beat Bama without performing over his head.

Take away the INT and add a TD, and I'd take 'em.

I just hope Crowton lets JJ throw the ball. All those weapons...

Agree on all three. Its just my belief that if Alabama uses a gameplan against Jefferson that is similar to Florida's, Jefferson's skill level may not be enough. I expect our running game to be non-existent just like Tennessee's was. That means our true sophomore facing one of the best defenses in the country on the road in a game that may decide the SEC West will have the offense on his shoulders. Kinda worried to say the least.
