The running ability, the pinpoint pass on the TD in the Ark game and confidence we saw in the last minute of the Arkansas game, was nowhere to be seen today. The QB position should be wide open next year, and hopefully the best QB which gives us the chance to move the offense and get us a victory wins out...



It was two completely different situations.

In the AR game AJ was thrust in - he didn't have any time to get nervous and there was really no pressure. If he didn't do well, then everyone would have just chalked it up to him being a freshman.

He had a lot of time to develop some nerves for the bowl game and the pressure was definitely on. That said, I think the kid did okay for his first start in a big situation. I hope...that if he gets the chance to prove himself next year that he will grow to be more comfortable running the team.

In any event, the QB race SHOULD be wide open next year.

About the only decent observation you have made.

I agree you could see the pressure get to him. He started aiming his throws causing them to be high, and was waiting for people to become open. Other than the one that was picked I thought he did a good job of not forcing the ball. Our D was lights out....so run run run punt.

It was pretty abysmal. Even for a first start, 37%, 82 yards, and 1 INT is pretty bad. It wasn't like he didnt have time to throw, and he didnt really "settle in".

No, he really didn't. Thankfully, the D was looking pretty sharp

That said, I think he will be fine and ready to go for next season.
