I'm so freaking proud of that kid. Yes, he struggled. Like any true freshman thrown into the fire would. But he showed guts and never gave up

definitely better in the 4th than he was early in the game. He needs a lot of work.
Me too. You couldn't really imagine a harder spot to become THE man for the first time in college. Don't be too hard on him. It took us a long time to shake off the shock of seeing Fitz go down. This team is as much Fitz's team as Dak's were his. The kid is going to be all right.Quote:

Good assessment. Agreed.Quote:

He, just like fitz, was w out his top 4 receivers. Not many teams overcome that, we did for most of the year. Couldn?t tonight. I?m excited for the kid. He will be hurting tomorrow tho after that game.
Mmm, he wasn't good...at all. I'm truly hopeful that he can be great, but honestly he was terrible tonight.
Key had 316 yards. Ole Miss as a team had 355.Quote:

13-27 for 195 yards 1 TD 1 Int and 121 yards rushing as a true freshman thrown into a rivalry game. The two fumbles hurt bad but he came up big in 4th for us to score 21 points.Quote:

I hear you. But the turnovers killed us. 316 yards don't matter with 4 turnovers. But I hear you in terms of optimism for the future.
Don?t forget, zero ****ing prep to play basically the entire game. None.Quote:

He never looked scared, at least to me.Quote:

Tonight was an uppercut to the dick. Especially since #1 delivered a lot of it.Quote:

And Key will be a stud. I never saw Fitz at the same stage but I image Key is ahead of him as a passer at the same stage in his career.
