For better or worse AJ caught lightning in a bottle against Arkansas. I guess we were just hoping to see some glimpses than we did.


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.

if i was the coach i damn sure would not have dialed up ONE fricking run for him today unless the game was on the line. good coaches try not to get their back up qb hurt so they have a better chance of WINNING THE frickING FOOTBALL GAME.

common sense just doesn't seem to be real popular on this board.

The kid had about 10 seconds to think about what was happening against Arkansas. He had a month of intensive game prep to think about it this time. He looked ok early. Not great, but made a couple of good decisions and throws. He went into a shell in the 2nd half, and that was it. Give him a little time, and have some faith in Cam. He did a pretty good job this year, and his track record speaks for itself.
