re: Watching the '94 LSU/Auburn game and Howard...

I didn't bring this topic up, because the J.L./J.J. debate has been beaten to death here, but I knew eventually, someone would throw J.H. into the mix. Thankfully, I guess, it was a Bama fan.

You nail the distinction between the performances of J.L. and J.H.; and both raised major coaching issues. That aside, every team can rebound from a team's or individual's horrific performance in a game. When it stretches into a season long malady.... weaknesses in players and coaches begin to unravel, resulting in unpleasant and unforseen consequences.

J.L. needs a chance to regroup under the new coaching staff. To LSU's credit, and judging by the sheer number of J.L.'s supporters on this board, I think he'll get every opportunity to do just that.

May the best man win for QB, and may we have a 2d and 3d best ready to play if something else goes awry.

jamie howard is the man.leave him alone. i remember the game though.

I was in Gulf Shores over Christmas and saw this on television. Hallman was such an idiot to not run the ball and play D. Auburn's offense had 18 total yards in that 2nd half. That's the game that cost him his job - thankfully. He wins that one and he likely finds a way to win 6 that year as opposed to 4 and that "magic" returns.

Cheetah, Not to worry. Between Sheppard, Jefferson and Garrett, the QB spot will be one of the strongest in the SEC. As much as you would like to continue to see Lee, won't happen.

I seem to remember that all but one of JH's pick 6's were rebounds off of receivers who failed to catch the ball.
Lost in all of that is that even after Auburn had taken the lead, JH led LSU to a go-ahead fg and had the morons on the sideline and in the pressbox made the right decisons, this topic would never have seen the light of day.
