[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 174352, member: 2299"] What was Tevin great at? He wasn't a great runner, speed or power. He wasn't a great passer. He wasn't great under pressure, even as a senior. Hell I don't even think he was that great at making reads. Not bad, but certainly no option wizard. We don't have the luxury of talent surrounding the QB to allow for us to have a game manager at QB and that's what he was, which is fine for a back up, but not what we need in a starter. His senior year we produced 1.4 ppd against VT and he made the critical mistake of trying to force a pass that led to the INT that basically sealed that game. People forget that following that VT had first and goal from the 1, but the defense rebuffed Logan Thomas 3 straight times forcing a FG. Yet it didn't mean anything because we got 0 points in OT allowing a FG to win rather than tie. The inefficiency of the offense was bad enough, but the INT is simply a play that a senior starting QB with as much experience as he had cannot make. Against Miami - 36 points is fine, but we had a 17 point lead at one point, and a 14 point with the ball at one point. In this situation a senior QB needs to be able to put the game away with either long drives taking lots of time of the clock, not just a bit over 3 minutes, or preferably points. But we didn't. We punted 3 straight times, with only one semi-successful drive of just under 5 minutes. Then in OT on 4th and 1 he checks into a play, but doesn't inform the team. He gets stuffed and once again we get nothing in OT. Did the defense also play poorly? Yes. Did our offense have the chance to put the game away and not do so? Yes. Again, that mistake in OT is simply something a senior QB cannot do. MTSU - 28 points against MTSU is simply bad. BYU - 9 possession and 3 offensive points. FSU - 1.5 ppd UGA - 8 possessions and 3 points. before getting pulled. USC - The team as a whole was under 2 ppd, and the scoring drives were a Lee drive, a 1 yard Washington drive set up by a big punt return, and a washington drive. Simply looking at ppd doesn't tell the story of 2012. Does our defense deserve blame? Absolutely. Did Washington, as senior, play to a starter level. No. He didn't. [/QUOTE]
