re: How would you rank the offensive minds of the SEC West?

And now he has JFF ... so yeah I'm there with you I'd like to see what he does with another QB as well.

But vice versa can one not argue that he made Case Keenum given that his system made Case good, can't make the same case for JFF because he's JFF

That year, Houston played their 3rd and 4th string QBs and still ranked 11th in total offense, and 13th in scoring offense. I don't think that's too shabby.

And JFF isn't the first freshman QB Sumlin coached to a win over a #1 team. Reggie McNeal threw 4 TDs to topple #1 OU in 2002. And speaking of beating OU, many people were saying A&M would miss Kingsbury calling plays in the Cotton Bowl, but the offense didn't slow down one bit.

Maybe Sumlin just keeps getting lucky w/ all these great QBs like Keenum and JFF and sharp OCs like Holgorsen and Kingsbury landing in his lap, but at some point you have to start thinking he's bringing something to the table himself.

When houston lost Case Keenum they also lost his back up. They finished the season with the towel boy throwing the rock.
