re: Coach Smart’s expectations of Stetson Bennett

That doesn't mean that people are pulling against our own QB or rooting for him to fail.

Many on here were down on Stetson all last season. "He can't throw deep! He isn't accurate! He's too short!" Well, mostly that is true. If he can't throw the 60 yard bomb and hit a WR in stride, then he throws it short or wide and completes a 50 yarder. But he had a 65% completion rate and 10 yards per attempt. Even as the wins kept coming many in here were putting Stet down and calling for JT. Yet Stet kept winning and the team rallied behind him.
Had JT been the QB all year I doubt he would have gotten the hugs and love Stet got from the team at the end of the NC game.
