1. What? One of the big arguments in favor of running this offense was it was easier to recruit QBs because we could easier get an elite option QB, since every tom, ****, and harry ran a similar offense in highschool apparently, and that we didn't need the prototypical NFL QB that everyone wants and was competing for. It doesn't really matter if Nesbitt was recruited ofr the offense or not. He was highly rated coming out of highschool and a good fit for our offense anyways. So what if Thomas was an outlier. That doesn't change the fact that he was here and anything I said about him.
2. Oh, I'm sorry. He was really good against 2-9 Presbyterian, 4-8 UVA, 2-10 BC, and 4-8 Maryland. I mean he did put up the 6th most points 6-6 Duke allowed all year. Or how about that stellar play for 15 points against FSU? OR what about the offensive explosion for 14 points against USC in the bowl game including a masterful 2 yard drive after a punt return. Of course I'm missing the Clemson game. That was his best game probably. But it's saying something that his best game featured two failed 4th down conversion, where again his number was called, one of which set Clemson up for an easy score, and the other wasted a a red zone opportunity given by a short field late in the game taht could have given us a good lead. Of course I'm also cherry picking the VT game, because obviously Tevin was amazing outside of that last mistake. Wonderful 17 point performance, where one of the TDs was a 24 yard drive.
There's something wrong if you look at Tevin's senior year performance and think "that's what we want and need a 3 year starter to perform like".
