I think I was wrong about Anthony Jennings.

I might have jumped the gun a little in judging Jennings ability to play quarterback for LSU. I guess my assumptions were based on the Iowa game last year. After watching the Wisconsin game again today, I think the coaches held him back a lot in the Iowa game.

On Saturday night he was very accurate with the majority of his throws. Yes, he doesn't throw the screen well, but beyond that his throws were very good passes.

I assumed after the Iowa game that he was going to be just like Jordan Jefferson. What I saw was that JJ only threw the ball when the receiver was open. I saw Jennings performance against Iowa and it looked like he was doing the same as JJ. But against Iowa, he was throwing to where the receiver was going, not to where he is at that moment.

In my mind, what makes a good QB, is his ability to anticipate when a receiver will be open. Mettenberger was tremendous at "throwing receivers open". Jennings showed that same attribute against Wisconsin. There was one throw in the third quarter where he hit Dural in stride across the middle for a big gain. Jennings threw a tight spiral, and it was delivered in such a way that Dural didn't have to break stride

He throws a great ball, very tight spiral which makes it easier to catch the ball. His throwing motion reminds me of Warren Moons throwing motion. He's very accurate with the long ball, which helps take defenders away from the line of scrimmage.

I'm excited about what he brings to the table. I know it was just one game, but his performance gives me hope that we won't have to re-live 2008.
