Not gonna lie, I'm pretty nervous about watching Jalen his first 2-3 drives against FSU.

If he looks just as freshman like as he did the last 1/3 of 2016 I'm gonna get super nervous.

If he looks like a true freshmen in the 3rd and 4th quarters, then I will start eating a little bit of crow, and I might apologize to Teague and Huddie.

I'm hoping he looks great. If he can do what he did at A-day, in real games, then I'll be thrilled. I'm just apprehensive about how real that was. And anytime I read any reports of him not doing well, I start to expect the worst.

Here's my thing, while Jalen has hopefully improved (and I think he has, though by how much remains to be seen) the FSU game may not be the best indicator of his ability. It's the opener against what should be a legit top defense. Derwin James and Tee McFadden are studs, if there's not a lot of space (and against this secondary who knows) those balls are gonna need to be precise because a guy like McFadden has the length to really make Jalen's day difficult.

With what we return on the OL and at RB, I'm expecting Daboll to really establish the ground game, get Jalen into rhythm, but for the most part keep Jalen restrained until it's time to go deep off of PA.
