He was a true freshman that hit a wall against 3 elite pass defenses. And, as much as I love Kiffin, he failed Hurts against UF and Washington. By the Clemson game he was broken.



It was games 13, 14 and 15 man, I mean...I realize he was still young, but the fact is he just looked limited in his ability. He looked like a "true freshman" against FSU too. Didn't see any improvement.

Disagree 100%. His accuracy looked much better and his decision making as well. He missed some reads, but he managed the game much better than the prior year and made a some difficult throws (one that was called back and one that was dropped) against a secondary full of dudes who will be 1st round picks (while running for his life most dropbacks). He wasn't perfect, but he was definitely better.

I thought he looked limited in what we allowed him to do. And, like I said, the UF and Washington games were abysmally poorly called games by Kiffin.


Again, we'll see it how plays out. It may turn out that his ceiling is JT Barrett. We won't know for a few months.
