Like the other guys said: true freshman, bowl game, first start, raining. Not exactly a recipe for a Heisman like performance.
If just to clear his head, I think Les should have sat him for a series once it became obvious the Iowa D had him intimidated.

that would have given him the confidence needed.

Seriously, Iowa and their D are no joke. The fact we ran it down their throats was unexpected.

The game plan against a top D and Arkansas are slightly different. You cant compare apples and oranges.

He suffered, and they obviously showed some coverages of our big 2 receivers that we did not expect, and he did not handle that well at all. Hate to break it to everyone, but we are going to see it out of a sophomore AJ as well. He will get better, or he wont. Rivers is adequate if needed. Rettig can then have his shot.

Look, it is a big mean world and AJ will have to improve, but not one of our QBs on roster would have done much better against Iowa yesterday. Mettenberger will be missed next year. Everyone will be up in arms by second half of Wiscy. It will be a miserable year to even check in on the rant.

Nope, some things take actual experience to learn how to grapple with them. He did a good job, he was competent, he will improve
