Gotta be 1 we?d bring in?.after watching TCU I got excited about what our offense could look like.
I don't know why people keep getting excited about this. No way a starter anywhere else comes here due to Will. My biggest fear next year is if Will gets hurt. We got nothing ready behind him and this offense hinges on the QB playing with few mistakes.
I would grab someone if I?m Leach if he possesses the arm strength and mobility I might be looking for. And has the intellectual capacity to pick up my offense. Can?t hurt. Just my opinion.
Leary from NC State would be a massive upgrade. We won't get him but he's the guy who gives us a shot next season.
Austin Reed from WKU - #2 passer in the country - just entered the portal. This is a kid we need to be on to challenge Will.
OU just lost their stud freshman - Evers, would be a good fit as far as backup for at least one season.
Then again, you just don't know with kids these days, they find out they aren't starting and off to the portal they go.
I'm genuinely surprised Sawyer hasn't put his name in the portal, my guess is that his options may be limited.
There are very few quarterbacks in the country that would look worse than ours did in 6 of our 8 SEC games this year. We won in spite of him against Auburn and Ole Miss and we looked like absolute dog shit against any defense with a pulse. The idea that we are in trouble if we lose Will Rogers is comical.
Without an upgrade at QB, I just don?t see us doing any better than 7-5 next year.
Going to waste all that talent coming back on Defense.
Sawyer is not entering the portal. I don't know why everyone is trying to kick dirt on the kid. He has had very little chances in games to show anything. He hands off a majority of the time. Against ETSU he showed his ability to extend a play and get a 1st down with his feet. The WR seemed wrong on 1 pass, and the interception he threw his Olineman hit his legs. Determining this kids future based off of what the stadium experts think is misguided.
SEC Numbers on Will:
62.83% completion % - 7th in the SEC
40.05% success rate - 9th in the SEC
6.28% Explosive play rate - 11th in the SEC
9.3 yards per completion - 12th in the SEC
30 interceptible balls - Most in the SEC
26.96% TD/1st Down % relative to passes thrown - 10th in the SEC
8.85 turnover worthy play rate - Good for 4th highest in the SEC
1.31% Big Play Percentage (over 35 yards) - Last in the SEC
Will was extremely pedestrian win it mattered most. This is all SEC QB's against SEC competition.
I am normally a stats guy, but "Interceptable Balls" sounds really suspect. Unless you qualify that with something like "balls the defense had their hands on and couldn't catch" it seem very subjective.
Sounds like something the Clarion Ledger would make up for a headline.
I'd put us in the 6-7 win range for next season at this time.
