Recent Opening QB Performances

In 2011 people were beyond excited with J. Lee's effort; he went 10 for 22 with 98 yards and a TD.

you must have missed the threads here after Oregon. I seem to remember most being kinda "meh"/ wait and see with him, and a few saying it was a bad game. and screenshots. lots of screenshots.

I'm hopeful after Jennings' game.

I thought he really made some strides in crunch time against a good opponent.

He seemed to have a little mobility, enough to sell the option a couple times. He also showed an arm on a couple throws; not just the lofted ones, he had some ropes in there too.

His back was against the wall, we were getting beat pretty bad, and things weren't looking good. He was able to find Dural deep a couple of times (enough to convince me that the Arkansas pass was not just a fluke); and he then made a couple plays with Diarse.

Hell, he wasn't that far removed from a 300 yd game: the tight end drop was almost criminally bad, one of the screens to Fournette was hard but could have been caught, and the ball to Quinn was close. I think Quinn makes that catch later in the season.

This was not against a pushover.

On the other hand, I think some of the unrest is due to the lack of a running game for most of the game. We supposedly had the greatest running back of the past decade on campus, and he looked very ordinary yesterday.

Jennings exceeded my expectations. His play in the second half was comparable to Mett's last year. The timing with the receivers was a thing of beauty - throw where Durall and Diarse will be. Won us the game.
