* Jordan Jefferson is still garbage. Let me be more specific, he plays football like garbage. I don’t know if he’s a good guy, good teammate or hard worker. I don’t know if he understands the playbook or how high he would score on an IQ test. But after watching him play QB for 2 plus seasons, I’m confident in putting him in the garbage category. The numbers back me up. The following stats are from 2010 conference games only. (Courtesy of cfbstats.com)
| Statistic | SEC Rank | |
|---|---|---|
| QB Rating | 114.91 | 9th |
| Comp. % | 57.4 | 8th |
| TD Passes | 2 | 13th |
| INT's | 6 | 6th |
| Yards/Game | 118 | 11th |
| 4th Qtr Efficiency | 115.56 | 16th |
| Yards/Play | 6.2 | 8th |
* This time last year I was defending Jefferson with the expectation (hope?) that he would produce. In 2011 I agree with these guys.
* The 4th quarter efficiency rating is an interesting stat. LSU played a number of tight games in 2010 and being clutch in the final stanza was key. Guess who finished second in the league in that category. Jarett Lee. The only player statistically better won the Heisman trophy. LSU doesn’t beat Tennessee, Florida or Alabama without Lee. Tell me again why he doesn’t play more.
* Spencer Ware is the real deal. He looked great in the Cotton Bowl and shined at LSU’s Spring game.
*LSU will NOT win the division much less the SEC with Jefferson. At some point in the season we will need the QB to make plays and Jefferson does not have it in him.
*LSU’s defense will be very good once again. They will have to be because the offense will only be marginally better with Jefferson under center.
*I like the Tigers to go 10-2 this season. LSU will split these four games, Oregon, West Virginia, Alabama and Tennessee.
*LSU will go 6-0 at home and end the season with a 17 game home winning streak. The longest in the history of LSU football (?)
