I'm not trying to take anything away from Finley - I wish we had that same performance in a big game against a real opponent to judge on. As it stands it was a poised performance in a high-stress situation (the risk of a monumental embarrassment), but I do think it's mitigated by the fact that GSU just isn't very good and Finley only had to make one play of significance. And not to be debbie downer, but that play could have just as easily gone wrong.

My overarching theme on this debacle is that it's made a lot more difficult by the fact that the guy getting dethroned - Bo - is probably the MORE dynamic player. A lot of times for AU it's been the opposite, you've got the steady, sluggish hand vs. the up and comer who can mess with defenses and wow with some athleticism.



Exactly: do think it's mitigated by the fact that GSU just isn't very good and Finley only had to make one play of significance.

And that was a busted play, in SEC play it would have been a sack.

I’d hardly call the TD the ‘only play of significance’ in a 98-yard drive.

That "one" play was the culmination of a 98 yard drive! Remind me, how many long drives did NIX have for 3/4 of the game that he played in, that resulted in a TD?
