I have 1 question for the Mett-Gone-Wild people

From what I saw Sat .. .MoooU is pretty weak in the passing dept. That puts their run strength up agianst our biggest strength .. run defense. I think we shut them down. Relf has to start throwing, and Tran et al., go crazy with ints.

I would luv it if we are up by 28 at half, so Mett can come in and run the offense for the second half. Yeah ..I know .. a stretch .. but ... it could happen.

 

Thursday night's game will be on a national stage. Our team knows this. The pollsters will be watching along with millions of college football fans.
On saturdays there are many diffrent games for fans to choose from where on Thursday the lsu game will be the one to watch.
I think our team will be pumped up wanting to show the world just how good they are.
On the other hand, moo state knows this is their season. If they lose they can kiss the west goodbye. If they lose they have almost no chance to go to Atlanta.
If they lose they are looking at the liberty bowl or peach bowl at best.
We will see Mississippi states best. Mullen will pull out all the stops. They will be aggressive, they have to be.
We must score early and break their backs, just as we broke the ducks backs in the third quarter in Dallas.
If we let moo state think they have a chance they will be hard to beat.
We must not come out flat. We need to be aggressive and rip their heart out from the first wistle.

 

This is what I am counting on. I was not impressed with MSU. I don't think they are as good as Oregon. I know they are SEC but I think Oregon mops the floor with em. AU seem to move the ball ok against them so I am not to worried about our offense either. I think if we show up and play like the last two weeks we win easy.

BTW I am sure anyone with a brain looked at the schedule at the beginning of the yr. and circled this as a trap game so I'm sure we will be ready.:geaux:

 

I have the drive chart up from ESPN right now, JLee threw 2 times in the first quarter. The 43 yard pass to RR and the 9 yard pass to Peterson for a TD.

Then he throws 8 times in the 2nd quarter including 4 times on the last drive. Are you looking at NWST and counting it as LSU??

Again, your theory that LSU suddenly started throwing the ball once ZM got in the game is just silly.

We had 2 possessions in the 1st QTR. The first drive JLee threw twice. The next series we had a 3 and out where he was sacked on an obvious passing down. Put it to you this way, Every series JLee was in at QB he was asked to drop back and pass at least once.

Are we protecting our QBs? HECK YES! Our starting QB was the back up 3 weeks ago. Does Miles suddenly not have faith in JLee as evident by the amount of throws he's asking Lee to take? That's just silly talk.

Les is trying to make Lee as comfortable as possible and ease him into starting again. It's clear the guy is nervous, as ANYONE would be, when asked to take over as QB especially given his past history and how it all went down. However that does not a bad QB make, it means we should ease him in slow.

I find this grand conspiracy theory that Miles suddenly started throwing more when ZM was in the game hilarious because it couldn't be further from how things actually went down.

 

He is easing both of these qb's in and its a good thing because it will take both of them to reach our goal. I can't believe after all Miles has proven to us fans we still think we know more than him.:insane:

 

Miles doesn't want lee to throw an interception, especially a pic6, and be fricked up the rest of the season.
Mett is a better qb from an athletic point of view but hasn't seen the looks that sec defenses give in real play. Lee has seen the diffrent defenses and should be better at making the correct check at the line, changing the play when needed.
Miles doesn't want to break mett's confidence before he has the chance to learn when he needs to check out of a play.
It's not the lack of ability that is keeping Mett from starting. Lee's experience in recognizing what the defense is doing is what is keeping Lee starting.
I think Lee throwing 9 straight completions in a row last Saturday will do amazing things for his confidence. His receivers also must have gained confidence in their ability to catch the balls Lee is throwing them.
Mett proved he is a great passer and has surely gained the confidence of the LSU receivers. He will be a heisman hopeful qb before he leaves LSU. Right now we need experience in at qb. We need a qb that's not going to lose us the game.
The team will win together.

 

good point

I have learned to enjoy the grass the clap the hat and the talk

it's all good

its not a conspiracy. Lee threw consecutive passes once the entire first half minus the last drive.

the reason he threw on the last drive was because they were trying to score before halftime. Did you watch the game?

Mett came out his opening possession and threw 4 of the first 5 plays.

its odd anyone would argue something different.

 

Heck, UConn went with that 'trick pass' qb... great accuracy against a barrel, but could he handle that during real play? Even up against Vandy defense this weekend his accuracy was crap and he threw 3 interceptions. A lot has to be said for *experience* ... expecially in the SEC.
