250 yards on those 15 completions. 

Completion percentage is a misleading stat from this game. 

LSU didn't have a bunch of drives where they got a few first downs and then punted. It was either 3-and-out or resulted in points for the most part. 




One of those was for 71 yards though. He had some clutch throws, I'll give him that. Thought the 3rd (maybe 4th?) down play on the winning drive was a a great play call and resulting toss.

But you can only polish it so much. Completion %, pass efficiency, YPA, Rating, etc... are all better indications of the big picture.

It's comparable to Hurts. Let's say he is that super clutch all year, and we aren't just seeing a skewed result due to small sample size, eventually does the lack of production catch up to you?
