One of the observations I've made based on the analysis I've been doing of draft comparables is that LeFevour's numbers against top competition (defined as BCS conference opponents) do show a decline from his career numbers against MAC opponents.
This would seem to be perfectly intuitive, but Kevin Kolb, who played four years (as many starts as LeFevour) in C-USA is basically the exact same player against BCS conference competition as he was against C-USA competition.
So, as much as I like LeFevour and think he's a second round value in this upcoming draft, I think his relative lack of success against teams who have a clear talent advantage over CMU is a limiting factor on how great he can be in the NFL. If he comes to the Redskins, he'll be on a team where most defenses he plays will have more talent than his offense, and would have a much different prospectus than if he landed with Pittsburgh or New England.
