Looked like he didn’t see a lot of wide open receivers and generally looked uncomfortable in the pocket. What did you see?

F!

He sucks, bench him. Freshman TJ Finley is way better. He will surprise people!

Bench Brennan!
Fire Pelini!

He needs to just sling it. It seemed like he was thinking too much and afraid to make a mistake, which led to mistakes. I’m interested to see how he improves.

I saw him double clutching quite a bit out there, seemed afraid to let it fly

If the Oline was letting free blockers in through the A-gap, I wouldn’t be comfortable either.

He’s got some confidence issues, but the first game was not bad. Receivers dropped passes, o linemen missed assignments, Brennan held the ball too long. Those are things that can be fixed.

The defensive backs just couldn’t cut it. We missed depth and preparation. The lack of spring cut deep. Real deep.

Though the rant seems to think Brennan is worse than JJ in the 2011 championship game.

I’ll give him a C-
It wasn’t pretty. Had a few good throws here and there. Showed decent accuracy. Held the ball WAY too much. Looked scared to slang it around. Needs to be A LOT more decisive and confident in his decisions. Missed a bunch of open receivers

He looked like a scared dog. Beta male mentality won't cut it in this conference

Pretty accurate and has a good arm. Holds on to the ball entirely too long and definitely gets "deer in the headlights." O-line did him no favors and the WRs had a few drops.

Hopefully he gets his feet under him quickly and settles down. If not the Alabama game is going to get very, very ugly.

We're fricked. He has been here for 4 years and still looks completely lost.

I'd give him a C as well. He looked like a guy starting in his first game. He missed some coverages, some wide open receivers, and wasn't comfortable in the pocket. Tards are going nuts because he didn't pull a Burrow and bring us back for the win. Can't put a new starter in that situation and expect him to do it every time.

The line didn't help him though and his receivers had a lot of drops.

The bigger disappointment was the defense and the play calling on coverages.

I actually liked what I saw out of our line though.

Overall we will get better.

I give him a B-. 345 yards and 3 touchdowns is nothing to complain about but the interceptions and fear of being hit are. He needs to be fearless and just do what he does best.

The defense gets an F- for sure.

O Line gets a C-.

Receivers get a C+. They need to learn that when the ball is placed right in their fricking hands, it's okay to hold that ball.


In my opinion, Brennan was probably the best part of the team on Saturday.

Had happy feet, pocket awareness was all over the place.

On quick read RPO, he reacted and looked good, put the ball in tight windows

On long pass plays, he hesitated and tried to place the ball instead of letting it fly.

Grade C

He was pressing in his first start.

How he responds over next two games will tell us what LSU has.

He played ok, but his o-line did him no favors.
