Clemson game with a whole years playing time plus 3 years in college total, plus a cannon arm, plus inside a dome with perfect conditions, plus Clemson's "defense"

14/23 120yds 1 td 1 int, 6 rush -41 yds

Jennings against a top 10 defense (6th nationally in pass defense: thanks MrWiseguy) with no prior playing time but a 99 yard drive and one year of college. Not a great arm (yet), with rainy, slippery conditions, with a gameplan tailored to running the ball thus handicapping the QB early (see Mett vs UF for an example)

7/19 82yds 1 int, 5 rush -31 yds


This is not a post ragging on Mett and it's definitely not a post propping up AJ, it's a post stating again for the, IDK how many times, this game meant nothing in the grand scheme of said player's career. There is definitely going to be competition as it would have been in the Spring/Fall just with AJ having a leg up early. People thinking that the game changed that position are assuredly mistaken.

Well let's see...who was the OC in that game? Our play calling was horrible. Our O-Line was horrible, anemic really.

This year we have a great OC, healthy and much improved O-Line, play calling improved tenfold.

Lots of sacks in both games. But the Clemson game we had a quarterback with no mobility and this one we have a qb with a ton of mobility that took sack after sack.

Mett should have been 14/21 vs Clemson. I'll go to my grave wondering why Les didn't feed Jeremy Hill twice on 2nd and 2 on our last drive. Why o why???

It's an apples to oranges comparison that shows absolutely nothing. LSU's offense had major changes between the Clemson game and this past season.

Open competition welcome. May the best QB win.

Whoever that is. I don't give a rats arse if it's a walkon.
