What's your expectation from Jennings in this game?

In terms of stats:

14/25 140 yards 1 TD

7 rushes 50 yards

In terms of outcome, a 3 point win.

I think he'll play well enough but will disappoint many who are expecting way too much from the freshman based on one great drive.

Either way I think we need to not put too much stock into it.

If he comes out and destroys Iowa, we shouldn't expect complete dominance and heisman trophies next year from him.

If he struggles a little bit, we shouldn't have the sky is falling mentality and start anointing Brandon Harris the next starter.

However, that's exactly what's going to happen.

I think those are reasonable expectations, maybe 1-2 more rushes (I expect a few "happy feet" scrambles when a first or second read isn't there ).

Les certainly won't ask much of him other than not to beat himself by forcing what's not there.

The thing that gets lost among all the statistics and all the measurables is who has heart. That drive against the Hogs doesn't prove it, but it sure is a sign that AJ might be a champion. Champions win when the game is on the line. When a team has a poor record in close games it's a sign that they don't have enough guys with championship mettle.

What do I hope to see from AJ? I hope to see a killer...like I saw against Arkansas.

If the OP stats are coupled with 250-300 yards rushing by the backs, then we win by 3 tds

Im hoping he comes out and just runs the offense, be efficient, and make good decisions. He doesnt need to try and force something. Just let our WRs and RBs make you look good. Take what the D gives you.

16/27 220yds 2 TDs. 1 INT.

6 rushes for 33 yards.

In what I would describe as the first game of next season, I think he will fare ok.
15/24 and 183 yds. 2 TDs
74 yds rushing and 1 TD

If he doesn't pass for 400 yards I'm going to be pissed.

Les is gonna shock everyone and play Bolden because of seniority over the other guys. 4-17 for 41yds 0 TD's 3 INT's. 22 yards rushing. Les leaves him in the whole game refusing to pull him. Cameron attacks Miles after the game ruining their friendship forever and Cameron leaves for Bama's OC job.

Or not. I actually love Miles and think he is gonna do something this game that surprises everyone and make everyone love him again while seeing he really is a true genius, he just hides it extremely well. Jennings will look like a smaller and darker Andrew Luck and destroy Iowa like LSU did in the Miami game in Atlanta.
Jennings stats:

16-21 240yds 2 TD's 0 INT's
65 yrds rushing with a TD.

Jennings wows everyone with his pocket awareness and poise. Never gets sacked. Most of his yards come in the first half while Hill &Co punish Iowa for the rest of the game.

LSU wins 49-3

Just go out there and play ball relaxed. Do what he was coached to do and not force the issue.

I hope he's 0 for 0.

I'm like that guy that used to call "Conference Call" with Max Howell for those if y'all that remember it. Would have been like in early 90's.

RUN THE DAMN BALL!!!
