Is number 10

By the numbers: Last season, Austin Allen replaced his brother, Brandon, as the full-time starter for Arkansas. The younger sibling posted a 61.1 completion percentage for 3,430 yards and 25 touchdowns, finishing 7-6 on the year.
Why he's here: When afforded time in the pocket, he's a highly accurate passer. Unfortunately for Allen, the offensive line was a sieve in 2016. Opposite Alabama, for example, the Tide pressured him on 42 of 61 dropbacks, per Pro Football Focus. The lack of protection shouldn't overshadow Allen's ability to throw.
Biggest tests in 2017: The SEC West brings a gauntlet for Allen, but no matchups are tougher than Alabama and LSU. Constant pressure from the front seven may frustrate the 22-year-old, who tossed five interceptions against those defenses last year.

With a clean pocket, Austin has the best QBR in the SEC hands down. Really hoping the O-line can be solid this season.

I don't think it will be frustration more than just trying not to get killed.

Finally someone sees it. I'm sorry but I don't even see it as a troll when I say Austin is the best qb in the sec. Or at least he was last year. Dude was 10x better than hurts and that lid from South Carolina couldn't touch Austin when he's on. Dudes legit

This could be a special year, just have to have the protection.
