Who is jarrett lee

Sure, Jefferson played the majority of LSU's previous matchup with Alabama, but the reason LSU won wasn't his "versatile" play, it was their dominant defense.

I'm not even sure that Miles had a good reason for why he kept Lee on the bench. When asked why he kept Jefferson in the game, here's what Miles had to say about it :.

But we felt like with the pass rush that we were getting that we needed a guy that could move the seat and not sustain that pass rush. Really Miles? Jefferson's 18 yards passing, five yards rushing and one fumble was really impressing you at the end of the first quarter? Or maybe it was his total first-half production of 26 yards passing and 10 yards rushing that undoubtedly proved to Miles that the Tigers' best chance at beating the Crimson Tide was to keep him in the game.

I'm pretty sure responding to the pass rush wasn't LSU's problem. The Tigers' problem was that Jefferson, who the head coach decided to keep in the entirety of the game, couldn't have thrown the ball into the ocean if he was standing on the shore.

Lee redshirted the season, so he is now considered a redshirt freshman, though he is only 19 years old. Perriloux was going to be the starter this year; Lee and Andrew Hatch were going to be his backups and learn how to play the quarterback position in the SEC.

But, Perriloux was kicked off of the team, resulting in Lee and Hatch competing for the quarterback position. Lee is considered highly talented and has already helped LSU win two close game—one against Auburn and another against South Carolina. He has thrown a few interceptions, at least two of which were returned for touchdowns, but coming from a young quarterback, that can be expected.

There, he threw for 6, yards and 70 touchdowns.
