Love the guy.
Played great for a true freshman. Great representative of State, on and off the field.

Will is good. If you watched last night, it’s clear we need more
I grew up in a small town outside of Lubbock so naturally we watched a lot of Texas football in the area. My dad still lives there and hasn't missed a game. He's pretty good at judging players and says Sawyer Robertson is the real deal. He says he's the best qb he has ever seen for a high school player. Should be a good battle between Will and him.
And also did it against an all-SEC schedule minus the bowl game.
Will finished 3rd in the sec in comp %, but finished last in yds/att. Lots of short passes helped inflate comp %. For example, here's top 5 in sec in comp % and their yds/att...
1. Mac Jones: 76.5%, 11.4 yds/att
2. Corral: 71.3%, 10.6 yds/att
3. Rogers: 69.1%, 5.7 yds/att
4. Trask: 68.9%, 9.8 yds/att
5. Franks: 68.5%, 8.9 yds/att
So, Rogers' yds/att is 56.1% less than the closest one in that group, Franks. Most of these short passes seem to be to marks (60 catches at a really low 4.5 yds/catch).
Now some of this is by design bc of our offense, but it does make the comp % high. Now that list above has 3 seniors and the most talented qb in the league, so it's great company. If will can stretch the field more, he could be pretty good.
Somebody e-mail him this, his address is thorka@gannett.com. I started to and realized my e-mail account is company, I don't have a personal account. If I sent it to him on my company account he might try to exact revenge and get me fired, for all the nasty comments I have posted on his articles.
Leach says he wants a QB that is accurate. Rogers is definitely that.
We need a QB who is accurate 30 yards down the field.... Robertson already has that...Rogers hasn?t shown that yet.
Throwing a true freshman into an all SEC schedule, and a supporting cast of freshmen and sophomores ....he did quite well. We should at least give him these props, without breaking him down. Next year takes care of itself. Enjoy the young man helping us out this year after the senior starting QB got a case of the yips.
PREACH! Rep given!
Rogers is going to be significantly ahead of Sawyer by kick off next Fall
