When asked why he kept Jefferson in the game, here's what Miles had to say about it :. But we felt like with the pass rush that we were getting that we needed a guy that could move the seat and not sustain that pass rush. Really Miles? Jefferson's 18 yards passing, five yards rushing and one fumble was really impressing you at the end of the first quarter?
Or maybe it was his total first-half production of 26 yards passing and 10 yards rushing that undoubtedly proved to Miles that the Tigers' best chance at beating the Crimson Tide was to keep him in the game. I'm pretty sure responding to the pass rush wasn't LSU's problem. The Tigers' problem was that Jefferson, who the head coach decided to keep in the entirety of the game, couldn't have thrown the ball into the ocean if he was standing on the shore. Despite the fact that Jefferson either wouldn't or couldn't even take a shot down the field, despite the fact the LSU offense needed some sort of kick in the ass, Miles still refused to go to the guy who had steered the ship for more than half the season.
Miles didn't even have the courtesy to put Lee in in the waning moments with the game long decided. In his senior season, his last game, in the Superdome for the BCS Championship game, Jarrett Lee didn't even see the field for a single snap, despite all he'd done for Miles and LSU the past four years, including this very season.
It makes no sense whatsoever. I don't understand it, and I never will. Personally, I lost a lot of respect for him for that. Jarrett Lee deserved at least a chance to do what Jefferson couldn't, but he never got that chance. If you can figure out why, I'd love to know, because to me, the decision was crazy from a football standpoint and disgraceful from a loyalty standpoint. Reverend Paul Revere, aka Joe Boland, is a sports blogger out of Philadelphia whose life revolves around sports and a quarter days per year.
Jason White, the Heisman Trophy winner, was injured - bruised throwing hand, broken bone in foot - and was clearly "tiger bait" as the Tigers harassed him at will.
On the sideline, was Paul Thompson, loyal back up, who even though had seen some time at mop-up duty, had been in the system long enough to understand what the Sooners were trying to do. Yet Stoops stuck with White, as he struggled, failing to generate anything.
OU's defense kept them in the game, but Stoops was "gun shy", plus too stubborn to make the change that could have possibly saw him win a national title in as many seasons. Which brings me back to Les Miles. Next thing you know, Fields tosses the game winning TD to Rashaun Woods late, Cowboys pull off the upset, changing their own fortunes for the following decade. That's what I used to like about Les Miles; never scared to "fire the gun" when the moment demanded it.
However, it seems the pressure became too much for him and he folded; something I was accustomed to seeing during his time in Stillwater. Paul Thompson - the guy who saved Bob Stoops's behind in Sooner fans should be grateful he did not transfer after getting benched.
God bless Paul Thompson for the sacrifices he made for OU. He shouldn't have, but I'm glad he did. I kept thinking that he was going to give him a shot. History tells us that when someone is struggling and the other person has had some success, change will cause the team to lift itself up some. Jarrett Lee No. Coach Les Miles may tell you differently, but for now, Lee is the starter.
Lee comes from the Lone Star State. Last year, Lee was the third quarterback, behind Matt Flynn, and redshirted sophomore Ryan Perriloux.
