1. First of all, I was extremely impressed with Jennings. He has a very quick release and also obviously has some wheels. I could tell he wants to throw first and runs when necessary. He doesn't spook easily into taking off. Very excited for this kids future ad expect him to take the reigns come 2014.


I commented on this earlier and said I too was somewhat impressed. Now the stats are out and we can let the numbers speak

AJ10
rush 7 - 26 yds
pass 8/21/0 98 yds

Mett
rush 2 - -4 yds
pass 12/19/0 236 yds

Rivers
rush 1 - -12 yds
pass 7/10/0 185 yds


Now take in mind that Jennings played more than anybody today. All of first half and some of second half. So if all you saw of this was the numbers how impressed are you now?

Stats are nothing without context

well going on stats alone wont tell you anything in a spring game.

Mett and Rivers had first team Oline, Odell, Jarvis, and Dural and played against walk ons and back ups in the secondary and a Dline that is pitiful beyond the first stringers.

Jennings had second team Oline only and didn't even have Vadal because he was out. Played against the first team secondary, first team backers and first team Dline that consisted of two monsters in the interior.

Mett is in his fourth year and Rivers his third. Jennings should technically still be going to high school. The fact that from what we hear of him being at least that good basically being a high school senior against a experienced college secondary speaks volumes.

Of course he will need to get better but from all acounts, he will have no problem doing that once fall hits and the season starts. I believe he earns the starting position next year after taking over the backup position later on this year.
