He was far from good in the game's entirety. A qb rating of 31.9 isn't going to cut it most games, but he really grew up in this game. I do agree that he made good decisions with the football. He made a lot of good reads on running plays and threw some nice timing route passes. The most impressive attribute to his game in my opinion was his management. We lined up correctly, we had plays called in time, he was a confident leader. Also, 8 of his 9 completions went for 1st downs....the only one that did not was the Travis Dickson fumble play.

As a team there are things that we need to clean up and we have to explore more of an intermediate passing game, but Jennings really led this team well.

His NFL QB rating for the Wisconsin game was well into the 100s (116.96), which is excellent.

His rating was like 170. It would be pretty damn hard to have a 31 with no interceptions.

His completion percentage is overblown. His YPA in this game was awesome. But you can't just look at either stat in a vacuum.

Jennings will help this team win this year.

Eta: the number above is NCAA passer rating, which is not capped at 158 (I think) like NFL calculation.
