But, the 8-9 people problem was caused mostly by the terrible play calling. There was no need to drop anybody past three yards from the line because LSU only tried to throw the ball five yards or more past the line like 5 times.

As for Lee, I think the major failing this year is the fact that they did not get Mettenberger ready for this game. They had an entire year to get him ready and get him game experience and they did not do it. I would have much rathered give Mettenberger a shot last night. If he succeeded, great. If not, at least you got him some live action in a meaningful game against a great defense. Lee was never going to be good and he is graduating anyway. If you are going to throw a wild card out there, why not let it be a guy with some upside?

and the terrible playcalling is due to having no trust in a terrible QB (and people thought it was all crowton's fault the last couple years). they really only went downfield twice and JJ missed both passes. he hit beckham once on that 19 yarder so i guess you can count that as another time but even that wasn't a good pass. everything they did was predetermined because he can't read defenses and i'm surprised bama didn't get a couple more picks jumping routes.

basically when your QB situation is at the point where you have to cherry pick the few bright spots out of the pile of doodoo which is his career in order to justify playing him.. you have a big problem. there was no bright spot cherry picking necessary with Lee this year.. it was only done when people wanted to point out the few negatives of his season.

in the end.. all this only makes me appreciate what we have in drew even more.
