Jarrett Lee Has an Eye Affliction. Can Anyone Else See That? Bama 27 LSU 21


Instead of going to practice Monday morning LSU redshirt freshman quarterback Jarrett Lee needs to go to an eye doctor to get bifocals for his bad, bad case of far-sightedness. Can anyone else see it?
He CANNOT SEE in the middle of the field. Isn't there a name for it? It's when you see a dot or something if you try to look straight forward. How else to explain Lee in overtime throwing his fourth interception -- the third pick of the game by Alabama's Rashad Johnson. Lee has now been picked off in 6 games this year and the opponent has returned it for a TD. That's 42 points. None bigger than the one he gave to Johnson right before the half that turned a 14- 7 lead into a 14- 14 tie. LSU lost this game because of Lee, plain and simple. The 27 - 21 loss to a solid but not spectacular undeated Alabama team is squarely on his shoulders. Even the coaches seemed to lose confidence in him. He ... I ... can't even write anymore ... it ... hurts. Too (whimper) bad.

Tiger Fans Boo Jarrett Lee in Win Over Tulane


LSU had finally put away an opponent; Tiger Stadium was electric, the fans satiated for being offered as sacrifice the lowly Green Wave (who was without their best athlete). Yet, on their way toward the end of the 35 - 10 victory, the uncharacteristic wave of boos started to resonate through Tiger Stadium.
Sigh.
Near-sighted quarterback Jarrett Lee had throw another interception. And once more it was returned for a touchdown.
Still, the fans response rankled some.
“If you booed the play, that’s one thing,” LSU coach Les Miles said. “That guy’s giving you everything he’s got. … It may not be perfect, but we’re going to put him out there and we’re going to count on him. He’s going to have to get better. I just don’t think there’s any reason to boo.”
To be fair the boos weren' necessarily directed at Lee. They were a forecast reaction letting the Tigers know that such performance won't be forgiven against No. 1-ranked Alabama. Lee has shown that he can play, but he's also shown that he's a redshirt freshman that can't easily escape the pocket. “As I dropped back I was getting hit,” Lee said. “I let it go kind of expecting where the receiver was going to be and, of course, the linebacker was dropping back and picked it off.”
Either way, Bama won't be easy.

Tebow, Florida Run LSU Out of the Stadium, 51- 21


Oh, it was ugly, no doubt about it, it was horrible (not to mention confirmation of what many Tiger fans know to be true). So bad was the whipping that Florida put on LSU on Saturday night that I actually had to turn the channel, yep, and watch C-SPAN.
Do you know what it means to choose C-SPAN and listen to some irrevelant author ramble on about the post-9/11 gentrification in Idaho when your team is playing on television?
I have always said that I was scared of Tebow. Did I know he could hang 51 on us? Sure did.
Did worse to Tennessee last year.
And you know what? Saturday could have been worse, too. If not for an irrelevant fumble midway through the 4th quarter, the Gators would have had almost 60 points.
LSU's defense made ordinary players look like superstars: Gator back Jeffrey Demps got 13 yards per carry on LSU, needing only 10 of them to do uncontrollable damage on the ground. Percy Harvin got 112 yards through the air, with 70-plus coming on a fluke 3rd down which should have been batted down. Tebow's ground game looks pedestrian on the stat sheet, but what isn't recorded is how many times he lounged forward to start a play only to pull back and loft a pass over outstretched purple-and-gold fingers. Jarrett Lee? Played like a redshirt freshman, no more, no less. Andrew Hatch? I like him. Scored with his feet and is more flexible than Lee (if only he could throw the dang ball.). Is this the end for LSU? No, it's just a much-needed and belated round-spanking. The defense needed a game like this in October, so that it can have a perfect November, which is when it plays a surprisingly scary Alabama team. Florida? We'll see them again in December. Trust.
