Yeah, I understand the competition gets a lot tougher the next three games.
But, against Wake Forest (top 25 team) and NIU (favorite to win their conference two years in a row), this kid has been outstanding.
In those two games, he is 26-39 for 401 yards and 6 TD's with zero turnovers. That is basically flawless football right there! He also had 3 runs for 14 yards yesterday.
The stats are great, BUT, this kid has something even better. Poise. Moxy. He side stepped a defensive end in his face to throw for a first down like it was nothing. He spun around a LB and a DE in his face to throw a 30 yard dart to Davis (great catch by Davis btw) in the end zone for a TD on 4th down like it was nothing. Those are senior type plays, not true freshman in his first start (on the road, no less) type plays.
Now, we have #2 Alabama, #20 Ole Miss, and #1 Georgia next. He may look human against this murderers row stretch of the schedule (who wouldn't?), but I really like this kid going forward.
Who knows how his career is going to play out, but I'm thinking we are going to enjoy having this kid being our QB!
