accuracy doesn't mean anything if the qb is gun shy. Brennan was afraid to throw against MSU. We need someone who is comfortable getting the ball out quickly.

He hasn't thrown a pass yet, so no.

First to 30 wins the game... the running game (and stopping it) will be the most important aspect of this game

For a head coach to say it could've been a coin toss on which true freshman starts doesn't make me feel too good about this situation. But are we really supposed to? I mean expectations have to be limited. So yeah, I'm concerned about accuracy but not near as much as reading the defense, seeing the field, instincts, etc.

Yes. Horrible completion percentage in high school. Will only go down vs. SEC defenders.

Your over analyzing dude it’s clearly coaches’s speak he’s not gonna come out and say TJ was clearly the guy in public. Even nick Saban dragged out the tua vs hurts battle until after the Louisville game even if it’s obvious tua was the better passer

Also had horrible talent around him and head coach who previously ran a triple option offense

I’m very concerned that a 50% completion rate will not be enough to win squat considering we are a passing offense.

Finley Senior year HS - 159 of 295 - 53.9%

Johnson wasn't all that much better - 164 of 258 - 63.6%

Finley's big issue in HSwas has footwork, which directly impacted his accuracy. Now you can teach footwork and that can be improved. The problem is that LSU doesn't really have a track record of helping QBs do that...

I’m more worried about a freshman trying to make pre-snap and post-snap reads.
