I've been one of his supporters the whole time (probably comes from living in Fayetteville and watching him through high school), and I thought he had a good game tonight.
The one WTF moment was on our drive to end the 1st half. He rolls out and has the back (I think it was JWill) wide open about 8 years away with two defenders between them. If he gets a little air under it and leads him, we score another touchdown going into half. Instead he sort of flicked it out and almost got pick-sixed.
I almost gave into the Allen hate on that play. Luckily, the rest of the night was really good.

Well if we want Brandon to play his best games we need to keep the pressure off him and I'm not just talking about the other team's pass rush. Put into positions where he has to throw 40 some odd times against a defense expecting the pass he's going to collapse.
Last night, thanks in large part to our defense, we didn't make him try to carry the offense, we ran plays that played to his strengths, and with the addition of those TE crossing routes we gave him some get out of jail free cards. If we want to keep having success this season then we need to stick with what worked against LSU and Allen should do fine.
