LSU quarterback Jordan Jefferson walked into a trap last season.

With all of two starts in his college career, including an MVP performance in the 2008 Chick-fil-A Bowl, there was a false sense of hope when he entered the 2009 season as the starter.

Fans forgot he was still 19 years old, the age of some high school quarterbacks.  

Jefferson had reasonably good statistics in 12 starts, but quickly learned there was a lot more to playing the position than those numbers. LSU's offense, and Jefferson, struggled for consistency.
