Oh please. Don't be so spoiled. He made a couple of poor throws and didn't really impress going deep, but besides that he looked average. He was fast and able to pick up yards on scrambles with ease. He's escape ability in the pocket when under pressure was impressive. He should have been sacked about three or four times where he was able to slightly side step a defender and create more time.

All in all for a first time start, in a big stage, Blake played well. In no way shape or form can you honestly say he is a MAC level QB. He's not bad.

If by "exceeded expectaitons" you guys mean he looked like a capable MAC starter, than yes, he exceeded expectations. I am still praying Coker wins the job somehow.

You are writing the kid off after his first game as a starter. Think about that for a second. What have you seen from Coker has you "praying" for him to play, exactly? He had his chance to win the job over the summer and he didn't, yet you still think he's better for our offense? That is pretty silly. It's like you have already made up your mind about what kind of players both these guys are, and are shifting reality to suit that.
