[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 681340, member: 265"] True, but the real reason he didn't get as much attention as a QB recruit was that he only played 7 games his senior year and people were put off by his injury. However, in those seven games he: Passed for 947 yards, rushed for 330, and accounted for 20 TDs. And was first team all-region at QB. His junior year is, perhaps, what attracted Tech to him. As a junior, he: Passed for 1725 yards, rushed for 956, and accounted for 39 (!) TDs. And was state and region offensive player of the year. So, yeah, he's a dual threat QB ok. I think what you saw is, as you say, the result of being inexperienced and, perhaps, having a bit too much trust in his abilities. He could do pretty much what he wanted at QB in high school and nobody could stop him. Now, all of a sudden, there are people who can. It was bound to be a rude awakening. I think he [I]could[/I] be our starter next year and he definitely has the inside track. He also has a lot of competition - if talent alone is the gage - to face. It's up to him and the staff to work all that out. I expect him to start. And, given our schedule, I sure do hope that our expectations about the OL pan out. [/QUOTE]
