Truth can be stranger that fiction at times. Just imagine if Jordan Jefferson ends up being the only QB to beat Saban twice during his time at Alabama. It'll be one of those trivia facts brought up on CBS twenty years from now where everybody will be surprised at the answer.

Chad Kelly will be the second after next season...

PS: and you're telling us there's hope for Jeremy Johnson?

Whats the largest lead that a Nick Saban team gave up in a loss?

Which team put up the most rushing yards against a Nick Saban team?

How many seconds does it take to beat a Nick Saban team?

I laughed. Those are pretty good.

Then I laughed a little harder when I realized that no auburn coach will ever be significant enough to have any trivia questions asked.

Not as a starter. JJ beat Alabama in 2010 as a starter, and Jarrett Lee started the 9-6 win in 2011.

JJ didn't start both games. So Lee has just as much claim to it as Jefferson.

If JJ doesn't come in and finish the '11 game, the tigers don't win.

Everything the OP said is true.

JJ was also the QB for 21-0.

Didn't Jarret Lee come off the bench and lead a comeback to win in 2010 though?

It's pretty much implied that when you ask a question like that.

He completed a 3rd down pass to seal the game. JJ did the heavylifting in the comeback effort.

He actually was not the starter in the 9-6 game, so technically your stat would be wrong, but i get your point.
