We get it. You don't like Finely regardless of what happens. He ONLY orchestrated a 98 yard drive and gave us the go ahead score. I don't care if he doesn't the Moonwalk before throwing a TD strike. That dude is a baller, and you are in a serious minority of people that don't see it. o Nix?

I just think there is some middle ground between baller and Nix. If you mean he's a gamer who stepped up, I agree, although it was still GSU.

I'm hoping Finley's 98 yard drive was a somewhat rusty version of himself that he will improve upon but shows his mettle, which would bode well for his chances to take over the job. As opposed to his ceiling or his finished product, which was good in the moment but won't win many games against real opponents.

Across AU nation I see very few people who are convinced Finley is about to take the job and never look back, which is how I'm reading your enthusiasm. I think most people see him as guy who couldn't hang on to the LSU job and did a very good job stealing a win from a bad opponent (which Bo probably couldn't have done), but has limited upside from the evidence to date. Basically, he'd be a good backup if Bo came anywhere close to the expectations we had for him (even with those trending down).

But, FWIW, I hope you're right.
