So there's two versions. He's injured. He got beat out. Again there's been no comment on our coaching staff like they're protecting some sort of nuclear secret.

Not going to lie, I like the way Puckett has played given an impossible situation
100%. He’s not at fault if we lose. Put in a tough situation and has played good when he doesn’t have a DL blowing by the left side of our OL.
Who's actually getting the game reps? That should be all the answers that you need.
Isn’t that completely X’s and O’s? Smoot couldnt defend 2 yards from 7 yards away.
I still refuse to believe that. I have no idea why Lebby is playing him but he did not beat out AJ Swann in an honest competition.
Let us remember that Lebby isn’t the best judge of quarterbacks. He stuck with Blake Shapen who is now selling insurance for way too long last year.
Pucket threw a great pass to Evans on that quick out. Hate he couldn’t grab it
I'm being obtuse? You're the one trying to read more in to a situation than what's there. He's not on the injury report and he's not getting snaps. That means the better quarterback is playing in Lebby's eyes. It's no different than people screaming about JJ Hill. If he was injured, he'd be on the injury report, and if he was worth a damn he'd be playing. It's a simple as that.
I agree with that, but that's a different argument. I don't trust Lebby's judgment on much of anything
Right. And because he beat him out he got the majority, if not all, of the 1st team snaps in practice. Some folks apparently would like for us to play the lesser QB who is also worse prepared.
The goal line play calling wasn’t terrible.
first down Wilson has to win that matchup and get in or at least cut up and get to the 1.
2nd down was a good ball
3rd down OL gailure
4th down wr couldn’t get enough separation to turn upfield

He does need to do a better job there. But in this case, I'm glad he didn't use them. When you don't score on that last drive, it's best to get off the field as quickly as possible without giving up anything else.
There's no reason to use timeouts when you're trying to get hell out of there without getting more people hurt. He'll I'd pull the starters after LSU scores again.
Good news, ESPN still gives us a 1% chance of winning. I'll take those odds in BR every time.
There is just no freaking way Puckett beat out a 5th year senior with 2 years sec experience. I know Swann is mediocre at best. But there’s still no way Puckett beat him out
I rarely bet and never bet against State, but I’m legitimately mad at myself for not taking the easy money on this one. There was very little chance we’d be in a competitive game without QB1 and RB1 and this is going pretty much exactly as I thought. Puckett has been better than expected and we still couldn’t put it in the end zone.
I will say that watching a 6’ guy try to survey the field vs watching a 6’4” highlights the difference just height can make.
