hasn't passed for more than 230 other than that game. Starting to think he may not be that good of a qb after all, granted a lot of those yards and td's came off tipped balls and really good plays by his wrs

I had a strong feeling that he was going to look pedestrian after our game. He got into a groove and played unconscious against us, to borrow a basketball-ism.

Some off those throws and tbh the catches were clutch. I thought he was one of the best qb we would face this year after that game. Home crowd and energy could have helped but he and his receivers were money that night.

NO. He is very good!

I think he is that good. Bama is Bama and a tough defense for anyone especially on a dry/home field for the Tide. The rest of their opponents has he really had to throw for a bunch of yards to keep them in it? I don't think so. They got ranked "after playing us" so they were winning! Remember they were down early and he had to throw it. The kid is solid and will continue getting better! The CU defense grew up a bunch that night and will be better for it.

He's pretty good BUT....

...a lot of those passes and catches were improbable and not easy to replicate. All the tips and circus catches were ridiculous. That said, I wish him and aTm the very best to win the rest of their games.

That's true, but as BV said after the game we were not

very disciplined in that game.
A chunk of A&M's receiving yards were wide open receivers due to busted coverage. Plus, there were at least three unbelievable catches by one of A&M's receivers.
We have played much better in the secondary since the A&M game.

Which Offense. Spread or Pro Set.

Mond to his credit did a good job hitting the open man. The "wide open man"!
Tell me if it doesn't stand to reason: "what offense was the CU defense preparing for"? The spread that all the A & M players were recruited to play in? Or the more pro set with a traditional TE that Jimbo Fisher runs? The talk from A&M was they had come up with a funky mix of both to fit the personnel! B/C of the lack of certainty about how A&M would look; I just don't think we got a good prep-week or weeks leading up to the game! Had that same game been played 4 games in; I think it would look different. They did play a game prior to us; but didn't lean on their passing game much. Didn't need to.

He attempted 40 passes against us, and the most he had in any other game was 33 against Alabama which is the only other game where he's attempted at least 30. However to be fair, his numbers last season as a freshman weren't very impressive so he still has a lot to prove.

Was a 5 Star HS recruit out of Texas . I know he made at least one visit to Clemson during his recruitment process . He's a good quarterback , still learning to play at this level as a starter .

I expect Jimbo has spent more time studying Clemson's tendencies, strengths, and weaknesses over the past few years than any other team on TAM's schedule.

When we used to shoot hoops and he was about 10 or 11, the harder I guarded him the better he shot. I learned to back off a little and he could not hit anything.

Dang, your 11 year old nephew kicking your butt in hoops? Probably shared too much. Haha.
