Initial Impression: LSU 35, Kentucky 7
Another game, another blowout win.
It's hard to say that this game was interesting at any point from a football standpoint. LSU didn't quite blow Kentucky away, but more slowly and methodically asserted its dominance over an overmatched foe. There was never a point in this game that the final result was in doubt: a big win for LSU.
Kentucky's offensive strategy seemed to be avoid the big play. Which worked, I guess, for most of the game. Kentucky steadfastly refused to open up the offense and risk a turnover, and barely gained any yards. By the third quarter, UK slightly opened things up, and LSU got a big play and scored a defensive touchdown.
Yeah, that Tyrann Mathieu guy is pretty good.
LSU dominated this game every way a team can dominate the game, and they did so without opening the playbook or even relying on the biggest names. Spencer Ware spent most of the game on the bench. Reuben Randle caught only one pass. This was not a game in which LSU slung it all over the place. The team was so vanilla that you'd think it was auditioning for the cast of Friends.
Jordan Jefferson made his first appearance of the season and played well in limited action. He scored a touchdown, and rushed for 29 yards on 4 carries. He also did noting to unseat Jarrett Lee as a starting quarterback. In fact, after Jefferson had a few successful running plays, Miles put Lee right back in the game to complete the drive. It was like asserting that Lee is the starter.
Lee didn't have his best game as a starter, though. He consistently threw off his back foot and delivered the ball extremely high. Occasionally, a receiver would climb the ladder to bail out their QB, but not with any regularity. Lee didn't play poorly, but he didn't exactly play well either. He was just off target for the entire day.
Still, even with the drops, Lee was able to pull out a few big plays, most notably to ODB and Randle, and posted an ATVSQBPI of 9.00 on the game. He didn't complete a lot of passes, but the ones he did complete were for big yards. All in all, he did exactly what you want your starter to do, he took advantage of his opportunities and put this game away.
It was a big win over a completely outmatched foe. Precisely what you want, as Kentucky never put up a threat, and didn't score until late in the fourth quarter, aided by a questionable pass interference call. LSU isn't trying to win style points - Miles is just trying to get through with an eye towards the showdown with Florida next week. Mission accomplished.
The less said about the boo birds, the better, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention it. Those of you who booed Jefferson are absolute morons. Don't justify it. You are a moron.
LSU is 5-0 and Jarrett Lee is the starter. Deal with it.

Actually, I think these idiots are going to cause LSU players to HATE LSU fans and it’s not going to lead to great things and happy endings.
The tweets today from T-Bob, HB7, RR and several others say they have had it and are going to stick up for ALL their teammates no matter what the fans think.
“Fans” need to STHU and be “fans” and let the coaches be coaches while the players play and the Honey Badger eats.
GEAUX TIGERS!!!
What are the tweets?
Don’t have a Twitter account…
Congratulations, Tiger fans.
Noble victory, well earned. Good luck on the rest of the season.

Unfulfilling If Not Disappointing
I was watching the thing on ESPN3.com, so I missed the boos, and it’s just as well, because I was shocked enough when I heard the cheers when Les put Lee back in on the 3rd & 8 or whatever it was. Who are these people? . I was disappointed that Les didn’t let JJ try to complete that series. I really wanted to see him throw the ball to see what magic Kragthorpe had worked with him that earned him the starting job going into the season. If JJ’s improvement was equal to Lee’s improvement, it ought to be a sight to see.
I thought Lee was closer to the old Jarrett Lee today than any time previously this season. A lot of the “drops” were bad passes. The “non-interception” play would have been a TD had the throw been worth a damn (IMO, KY got hosed on that play). The only really good pass I saw was on the out route to Peterson. No room for error & he nailed it. The rest of the time, however, he seems to have reverted to throwing off his back foot. I have also realized this season after watching him take enough reps that he is clearly petrified of contact. After every pass when the D is anywhere close to making contact with him he reflexively finishes his motion turning as if to run away from contact. It’s different than merely throwing off his back foot, and although distinct from his throwing motion, it has become so automatic that it looks as if it’s becoming part of his throwing motion.
I don’t want to start up this JJ v JL debate again. I’m happy with the way JL has improved and played, but I couldn’t help but think today on JJ’s running plays how JL could never have done that. And hell, after the way Lee was passing today, I can’t imagine JJ would have thrown worse. Really disappointed that we didn’t get to see it.
I also couldn’t help but think the whole time JL was throwing poorly and the 2 occasions that Ford got dropped for losses when JJ was in the game that the mystery poster from a couple of days ago was sitting at home saying “I told you so! I told you JJ would be a cancer on this team! I told you his presence would make JL play ’tight..” Where is that guy today?

I dunno
I’m kind of against bashing cmmc11 and others who think like him. I completely disagree with many things he said this week for multiple reasons but people are entitled to their opinions. Some things are despicable like booing college kids but we don’t know who did and who didn’t. I used to yell at my tv every short side option, even when they worked. I like to think I’d never boo anyone but a ref or an unsportsmanlike play by an opposing player or coach but sometimes I got so frustrated I don’t know for sure that I’d keep my cool when everyone around me was booing too.
Just saying, sometimes rational people do irrational things and they’re not always bad people at heart.
But I’m not excusing what I heard today. I was shocked that people booed before he’d even had a chance to play. In a country where Vick gets a shot at redemption JJ had damn well better get one too

The only problem with him (cmmc11) was the sheer volume of the same comments...
JJ is a cancer—no quotes, no examples, no anything when responded to, JJ will bitch and whine and will not accept new role, ect.—again no anything just his opinion and that is fine, but after a while like 30 comments in lol, give it a rest. We know you don’t like JJ and what you think. In the end that line of commenting ends up being annoying as can be and unproductive.

. . . Florida takes out ‘Bama tonight but gets good & dinged up in the process (nothing serious, just enough to give us added advantage next week). One of the Tide’s starting LBs – supposedly the fastest and best in coverage – is out tonight. Could spell trouble for the Tide with Demps & Rainey on the other side of the ball.
"Get's good and dinged up"

But the emphasis was on taking 'Bama Down.

Drop the bomb on em, Billy
Nothing is going to please these people that will boo a 20 year old kid that’s on a 5-0, ranked #1 team, and who IS NOT THE STARTING QB. Maybe it’s just me, but I think that the people who boo JJ are mostly the same people who still hate CLM because he is not Nick Saban, and never will be. I think they see JJ as CLM’s “choosen son”, and if JJ and JL’s roles were reversed, they would boo JL and want JJ in the game. Why do the fans who effing suck go to the game just to boo and bitch and moan about EVERYTHING CLM or JJ does. It’s never good enough. These people obviously don’t remember the Hallman/Archer/DeNardo days. I hope Coach Miles comes out and says either support this team or GTFO, but he’s too classy a person to do something like that, so I guess we will have to deal with this jackassery for the foreseeable future. The only silver lining I can possibly see coming from this is the team pulling together even more, and having an “us against the world and the ignorant part of our fanbase” attitude.

I heard someone say that most of the boos were students. Don’t know it it’s true, but if it had to happen, I’d like to at least be able to claim that it was a relative handful of drunken kids and not the “adult” fans.
I read that Les told a reporter that he didn’t talk to JJ about the boos because he figured he was tough enough to take boos from some small group of people who would boo anything and anyone (or words to that effect; maybe he referred to them as a group “who has a tremendous want to boo”)
Ok, fair enough then
I hadnt heard or missed that it may have been the students.

That is an astute observation.
I think the simplistic hushed race card answer is a cop out. Hell I was wondering why he came in the game after Lee drove them down. But booing JJ is just juvinille. I can’t speak for the nimrods as I really hate booing fans, but sounded like there was a follow up cheer. Hopefully the team gets the that the haters are just a minority group.
I hope the players raise hell about it an embarrasses the crap out of those people. Rip the band aid off and let’s move fwd.

There wasn't a follow up cheer
Some people cheered (I know I did), but a chunk were still booing.
And it’s not even about race (though to pretend that it’s not involved would be naive), its about idiocy and ignorance. People don’t like Jefferson because they don’t think he’s a good player. Period. They dress it up with other BS, but that’s the crux of it. To dismiss it because we don’t want to hear about race would be every bit as misguided as to say that race is all its about.

Everybody wanted JJ to play when Lee was struggling in 08
that’s just the way people are. Shit happens everywhere. It’s counter productive, and in this case particularly unwarranted. JJ was more than adequately punished for whatever he did, and now he’s trying to help the team win. If he plays well (and I think he will), the problem will go away. Otherwise, it won’t. I wish you could talk to the fanbase and explain why it’s stupid, but there’s really no hope for that.

I think the booing was terrible. But it’s not irrational for some fans to think, “I like JJ, but I hate the decision to put him in here – and I’m going to boo.” I doubt very many of the booers actually thought this, but some might have.
Nope
People can tell themselves what they want. You boo the decision to put a player in, you’re booing the player. People who say this are just trying to make themselves feel better. It’s a cop-out and its a load of crap.

If you boo a “decision” to put in a player, you’re booing a player. Booing a playcall is booing a decision, like if a coach kicks a field goal or punts when you think he should go for it.
People booed Jordan Jefferson for coming in to take a quarterback sneak because it was Jordan Jefferson. It wasn’t about the decision, it was about the player. If they’d stuck somebody else in to sneak that ball, you can bet your bottom dollar THAT decision wouldn’t have been booed.
Writer (and a handsome one at that),
And the Valley Shook
i think the point is
no matter what has caused you personally to boo, whatever it is, that distinction is not clear to the players. If a guy goes in, and boos come from the stadium, he’s going to assume he’s getting booed. I think Jefferson has been through enough in his career that he can handle it.
You have been mad and drunken, furious and wild, filled with hatred and despair...but so have we - Thomas Wolfe, inadvertently commenting on college football.
Exactly right
People think they’re being so nuanced and clever with this “booing the decision not the player” bs. But do you think that distinction is somehow clear to the player who walks on the field and hears 10,000 boos raining down on him?
If you truly want to register your displeasure with the coaches’ decision, call in or Tuesday night or better yet, head down to Acadian and let Miles know what you think in person. Don’t boo during the game.

Usually agree with you
But not here. Your position is unfalsifiable, which is…..convenient.
I also happen to agree with you that more than likely at least some of them were just booing Jefferson. But I also don’t think it’s out of the question that some were just booing the change in QB right there.
Billy's position is that he said it - therefore it's right
and if you disagree too much, he might just ban you (3rd week in a row he’s said that to someone). I think maybe Billy drinks too much on gameday.
Look, I think JJ got screwed by the police and the DA. I think he should be on the team. I also happen to hate the two QB – one drive system with him and Lee. JJ’s not that good of a runner and Lee’s not that good of a thrower for that to work consistently in my view.
I wouldn’t have bood JJ coming on to the field, and I think it showed poor taste – but you didn’t have to be a racist to dissaprove of that decision. And I am sick and tired of both sections of LSU fans – the ones who are never happy no matter how well the team does – and the ones who say a ton of LSU fans are racists. I wish both groups would shut up.
Yeah
Cause its always just about disagreeing with me. Seriously look at the guy’s post before you pop off about that shit.
This whole “I said LSU fans are racist for booing JJ” line of thinking is not only a fantasy, it’s a really stupid one.

read my post again Billy
Did I ever say you said fans were racist? No. I said I’m sick and tired of fans that have made the argument that a bunch of LSU supporters are racists. I also said I’m sick of the “fans” that are never happy with the team. Obviously, as a charter member of the delusional optimism squad that doesn’t apply to you.
I don’t think you ever said fans were racists for booing JJ. You’ve made that clear – as you have made it clear that you see no reason at all for fans booing the home team. I generally agree with that – but I think it is rational for a fan to think – I like this player, but not the play call. Have you never heard fans boo a decision to take a knee with 20 seconds to go in the half? The QB taking a knee isn’t beeing booed there – the coach is. Now, that’s not exactly the same thing as what happened yesterday, but it’s not totally different either.
Regardless, I do think you’re a a bit of a hothead and that you sometimes have a real problem when people disagree with you. You’ve consistently jumped all over posters who have disagreed with you at times. And you’ve made a lot of comments about getting ready to ban people – which seem rather ridiculous given that the site never seems to ban anyone – even obvious trolls (since I’m not a mod, I don’t know this for sure – maybe y’all have banned some trolls?).
We’re sports fans. We disagree sometimes. As you said in the original post, “Get over it.”
LOL seriously
A guy chimes in and calls me a “bleeding heart liberal” and I’m not supposed to react? Get real. That guy got what he deserved, and so did that CC clown on Wednesday. And for the record, neither was banned. CC was invited to defend his point of view and never did.
You’re cherry picking comments to fit this little view you have. It’s wrong, and it’s ridiculous. The decision WAS a player. This wasn’t booing the kicking team coming on the field. This was booing Jordan Jefferson coming on the field. If you can’t see that, you’re in denial. That’s YOUR problem, not mine. You said something about booing Lee, and guess what, that’s just as wrong and I said as much.
You weren’t in the stadium Saturday. The second Jefferson trotted off that sideline, the boos rained down. Yeah, totally wasn’t about him.
And I’ve disagreed with other people on this board many times, including the other writers. People who are respectful get treated in kind. People that aren’t, are also treated in kind. We’re critical of players, coaches and administrators here, and we’re damn sure going to be critical of fans when they have it coming. And when they boo a particular player just because they don’t like him, they have it coming.

This is probably true

Les is a players coach...
A minority of vocal “fans” want him to be a “fans” coach. He is not and has never been a fans coach. What I mean by that is he isn’t the type of coach does things just to appease the fan base. He coaches to win and I believe he is one of the most loyal coaches out there (loyal to his players, coaches and LSU). That loyalty does not always set well with the minority of fans who would rather he coach based on their belief system.
I think real fans, the majority of LSU fans, appreciate and trust CLM to do the right thing.

i dont think they were booing JJ as much as they were booing the coach’s decision to put him in.
That’s a cop out which makes no sense. Let’s assume it’s true for a second, which I don’t think it is. why are they booing the decision? Certainly not from a strategic or football standpoint. Bringing in the big burly QB who is a better runner to take the snap on 4th and goal at the one foot line is a fairly standard call.
So the reason anyone is booing the decision is because they don’t want JJ in the game at all. And the reason they don’t is because they don’t like JJ. Booing the call, in this instance, is clearly booing JJ.
I dislike booing the home team, but if you’re going to do it, for godsakes, be honest about what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Don’t try and hide behind semantics. You’re booing JJ. Hell, you’re booing LSU.

I don’t know what your experience at LSU was like, or what group you observes but I can’t count 5 LSU fans I have encountered over 20 years that would prefer a QB, LB, RB, WR or waterboy over another just because of their skin color. To the contrary, LSU fans just want to win, win win – with a QB with 3 eyes and blue skin if need be. I get that blogs and talk radio might give you the wrong impression, but damn man, it really is not about race for the normal folks who make up the vast majority of fan base. I expect people fear exactly what I fear, and what you said would never happen, that Miles was starting his ’10 Tenn rotation of JJ near the goal. Booing is just stupid and mean, but your race card complex is over blown. You should see somebody about that man.

In fact, I’ve said, multiple times now, that’s its far more to do with people disliking Jefferson because they don’t think he’s a good player. That’s by far the biggest reason actually.

It’s not like we need to make people aware of some huge racism issue at LSU…

Kids born today will have probably never heard that word until they are taking history classes in college.
I wish you were right, but you’re not. We are no closer to eradicating racism as we are to eliminating jealousy.
Certainly, we are nowhere near as racist a society as we were two generations or even one generation again. But I think it’s a dangerous belief to say, “Hey! Solved that! Good thing it’s not a problem anymore!”
This has nothing to do with football, so I’ll stop now.

THIS all day long
"The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." - H. L. Mencken
some of this is what i was worried about with JJ coming back
I think lee’s been great this season. Sometimes his passes are high – but honestly, that’s just the way it’s going to be with him – or with JJ. Our star receivers should make those catches or sit on the bench (RS).
Now, the “problem” is that everytime Lee throws a slightly high pass that is dropped people are going to say – put JJ in. The thing is, JJ has spent the last three throwing the same sort of high or low passes – or getting sacked.
It is going to be tricky to manage this the rest of this season – but I have faith in Les.
Based on today I'm pretty sure people aren't going to say that
It’s pretty clear that the folks in Tiger Stadium today wanted Lee at all costs.
Writer (and a handsome one at that),
And the Valley Shook
i dunno
it’s pretty clear that some vocal boo birds wanted that. I wasn’t in the stadium – so it’s hard for me to judge. Was that 10,000 students? 50,000 fans? 250 guys close to the camera mike? I heard the boos, but it didn’t sound that loud.
Was anybody in the stadium that can give more feedback?
they were audible
but it wasnt everybody. maybe 30% booing? so hard to tell. Lee got booed a lot more even last year
I'm proud of my damn strong football team. Have a great day!
I disagree
I’d say it was at least 50%. A smaller percentage booed after the touchdown, but when Jefferson trotted out there it was a solid, audible amount of booing.
Writer (and a handsome one at that),
And the Valley Shook
Now, the "problem" is that everytime Lee throws a slightly high pass that is dropped people are going to say – put JJ in
Luckily, the fans don’t make substitutions. I think Les is long past caring what the fans think. Well he should be. I think Lee played poorly, though not awful. And I never thought Miles should yank Lee and put in JJ. Lee’s the guy at this point.
Fake Pundit. Real Fan.
And The Valley Shook!
I self-indulgently tweet @ATVSPoseur
yeah, i think you are right about Les - and about Lee actually
I disagree about Lee’s play though. Good grief, Thompson for UF has caught two passes from Brantley already that were worse than anything Lee through – he had no trouble at all with “off frame” and very high passes the led to him immediately getting hit.
Lee looked bad to me
The back foot thing was the worst it’s been all season, and he’s been doing it pretty much all season. Les isn’t gonna be in a hurry to yank him, but JL has to know that the leash just got shorter.
You have been mad and drunken, furious and wild, filled with hatred and despair...but so have we - Thomas Wolfe, inadvertently commenting on college football.

I was surprised that we had Lee roll out a lot today. I don’t think we’ve done that too much, and it didn’t seem to work
I'm proud of my damn strong football team. Have a great day!
Yeah, it was something I wanted to see more of
But after watching him do it today, yeah he’s very clearly uncomfortable with it. Which is a little discouraging to be honest.
Writer (and a handsome one at that),
And the Valley Shook
Also, for those who watched it on TV
what really happened on that almost interception called they reviewed but called our way? It seemed to me to be a INT, but they never showed the replay in the stadium
I'm proud of my damn strong football team. Have a great day!
it's not an INT. It was identical to the WVU play when claiborne almost had the INT last week
he was down instantly with the ball. Tie play goes to offense

No post game thread for the rest of the games?
Because I would really like to talk about how overated the Tide’s defense is
Fun to watch, is it not?
Doesn’t make me any more confident going to Tuscaloosa, but I am glad they are finally getting to face a good team. Not looking past Florida either. Brantley looks good so far.

LSU took care of business; I like that in the games we are supposed to win easily, we have
Was concerned with Ware being out, but glad Blue, and Magee got work in. Defense was great as usual—no problem with the pass rush today and TM7, Wow the play with the strip and scoop and score. Should be #1 on SC.

Lots of short crossing routes and screen plays will be in order I think.

Which means the WRs need to be ready to catch the harder passes

Jefferson is gonna be a huge piece
vs. Bama (I hope).
When I thought he wasn’t coming back, I’ve been looking at the Bama game as the game on our slate where I thought we’d really miss his services most. If Lee played his absolute best for a full 4 quarters, I’d have confidence in him. But we know he’s not going to do that, and a mobile QB who is not scared to tuck it and take what’s there is a great weapon to have against a suffocating defense like Alabama’s who is likely to make using every other weapon we have a living hell.
USCe meltdown, maybe should have had a shot for a fg with clock stopping after picking up a first...
probably should have had a try to run fg team on with the clock stopping with at least one second, but you dont throw it over the middle with no to’s, twice with the play before. Garcia having a rough rough year.
