LSU prob has 40 or more future NFL players on their team.
Vandy prob has 5.
They dont belong on the same field.

if you take out the Vandy game, it drops to 4.7, which is pretty average for college football.

Feet are average at best
Honest dude, go to Walmart and get that optemetric(eye doctor)checkup before the season is out.This post was edited on 9/28/10 at 11:20 pm

I still don't get where he thinks he could have run for 200 against WVU though

His high this year is 159 yards against Vanderbilt.
My apologies.
I trusted the Advocate.

The Tigers tailback produced a career-high 20 carries for 116 yards against a defense that came in allowing only 62.7 yards per game and 2.2 yards per carry.

that was his high for number of carries

Then why the frick didn't he? Did we not want him to get tired? Are we saving the secret plays?
We won by 6 pts!! Whos idea was it to keep him from getting 200? crickets

Thanks for the clarification. And thanks to the Advocate for that meaningless stat. Yards matter way more than carries and touchdowns matter way more than yards or carries.
And regardless of whatever career record Ridley set, someone still has some 'splain to do to figure how Ridley "could have" got 200 yards against WVU. Would have needed at least 10 more carries on top of his career high number of carries.

Not sure they "suck"...six wins is attainable. And, explain what you mean by "inflated" stats?
And I'm not sure what Vandy team you're watching.
Prior to them knocking off a horrible Ole Miss team, I was questioning whether they'd actually win a game this year. They do indeed suck.

Guess you where wrong,huh? I like to pull for Vandy. Six wins may be a streach, but like so many other "fans" on the Rant, maybe you just need to let the season unfold before pronouncing an ironclad edict.

i like Ridley, but i think he struggles against good defenses.
he had trouble running against the only "legit" D we have played, UNC. And they were missing some players.
I don't think he struggled against UNC. He had some very nice runs, one that was called back from a questionable holding call.

He could have if we had run the ball on second down after running on first down for good yardage. With our running game against WV I think 2nd and 4 is a running situation. The coaches don't.
Also penalties changed a lot of short yardage situations into pass plays.

I appreciate what you're trying to do, and it's almost valiant the way you've defended our QB.
At some point, however, you have to accept reality. Passing completion percentage is one variable in a numerous amount of variables that add up to a sum. In reality, you cannot quote one statistic that, while it supports your somewhat blossomed argument, represents part of a whole that must remain in context. You've extrapolated the sugar from the cake, so to speak.
The proper way to actually grade JJ on a proper scale is compute his QB rating using the NFL, not the college, passer rating equation.
Since you provide very rooted arguments, I shall humbly ask if you would like the formula to compute this on your own, or if you would like it computed for you. This takes into account completion percentage, average yards per attempt, percentage of touchdown passes, and percentage of interceptions WITH limits (categories ranked less than 0 receive a score of 0 without dipping into a negative range).
Would you agree that this is the most sound measurable to use in assessing Jordan Jefferson's ability to be an effective passer?

Are you people so blind that you can't see stuff like not seeing wide open receivers? Bounce passing balls to receivers! Waiting to long to throw and getting receivers lit up! Throwing the ball high and preventing yards after catch?
I don't need statistics to see that but either way a. watching the game or b. reading statistics both show that JJ is at the very bottom of all the div 1 QB's.

Right
And typically when you look at teams that have very low passing attempts the averages tend to go up
Look at Roberson for KSU a few years ago. They rarely threw it but when they did, they went down the field with play action.

No. I stand by my assessment. They DO suck.
And all the semantics you want to use just to try to win some sort of internet argument can't change that. It is what it is.
