4) Defense

If Lee had anything remotely looking like a defense, he doesnt force the ball in '08, and would be a 3rd yr starter at this point.

It's a combination of all 3..

With Krags coaching the QB he is teaching them the fundementals needed to mold a QB and the play calling is key. We aren't asking J. Lee to come out and throw the ball 50 times a game.

I feel he doesn't have pressure on him that if he makes some bad plays he'll be taken out. He has the team behind him and that does wonders for him. Hopefully he can continue to improve week by week!

I would say "1" is the biggest factor...his problem in the past was staring down his receivers and happy feet in the pocket...he is much better at both....

I have to also attribute a good bit of his improvement to far better protection by his o-line as well as the emergence of the running game....

the way to fix happy feet is with max protection and the way to fix staring down receivers is to eliminate the long ball...we have done both...

1) he was a freshman thrown into the mix, because the Starting QB got kicked off of the team. Therefore threw all the INTs for TDs in his 1st year (which has since defined him as a QB for some reason)

2) he is a senior now! last year he showed progress from previous years; as any player should throughout a college football career.

3) because he is a senior and because of our defense, he knows that all he has to do is manage the game and take what the opposing teams defense give him and the Tigers win another BCS Title…

plus all of the things that the original poster said don’t hurt either...

AND - that O-line is good; giving lee time to throw the ball is helpful...

I would say all 3 but also the game plan this year appears to be much more focused and thought out. There seems to be a bit of a swag to the offense that has been missing the past few years.
