    Why didn't we see more of Jordon Jefferson?

    Jefferson ran for two yards on third-and-goal in the first half and then he vanished. Why would we put him in on a goal line situation, 3rd down no less, and then not let him make another snap? Very odd IMO.

    Didn't need him. Patience, my friend. You'll see more of him when the time is right.

    I so wanted him to get that TD and it was so close.

    Would have been a great boost to his confidence to contribute to our victory.

    Ball security. Les is making a point with him.

    Tigers will be working hard on that for the next 2 weeks.

    Well, everyone in the stadium knew he was going to run the ball. It didn't fool State, for sure.

    I think it was situational. Given the opportunity to get the young man in the game with a chance to score in the North Endzone. He was so close. I think he would have had it if he had cut up the field about 1 sec sooner.

    Sometimes you do things to get young players experience. It will keep Jefferson's head in the game, knowing that he has a chance to get on the field at any given time.

    Incidentally, I would love to see Trindon get a direct snap from a similar formation. That extra burst of speed would be wicked.
