I wanted Mettenberger to get some snaps during the 4th quarter. We had the game won. Why risk our tops two with Auburn and Bama coming up.

A) Fix your title.

B) JJ needs the snaps more than him, since he's our #2.

C) Have fun with this one

Handing off at the end of today's game wouldn't have meant anything for next year.

I guess Les did that just to make you cry?

Gut feeling says he's gonna get a heavy dose of Western Kentucky and a helping of Ole Miss.

Because we're not interested in preparing for next season while in the middle of a national championship hunt?

Give him snaps against WKU, Ole Miss, and...wait for it...Arky.


Need to have all QBs sharp for Bama.

If the coaches insist on playing both Lee and JJ, then JJ needs the snaps.

Good point--It would be great to get Mett some experience in an SEC road game, albeit the game was decided. I thought Miles & the staff squandered an opportunity. I also did not like to see so many first stringers in the game the last 3-5 minutes with a 31 point lead. Williford (I know, not usually a first string OG) pulled up a bit lame & it would have been silly to get someone hurt with that game under control.
