Q&A with Case Keenum ... er ... J.J. McDermott

Postby PonyPride » Fri Oct 23, 2009 2:44 pm

The SMU defense studies a new offense each week, learning the key players and personnel packages, and the schematic tendencies and nuances of the system each team runs.

But the Mustang defenders are not the only ones who must learn each opponent's offense. Transfer J.J. McDermott also spends considerable time studying each new offense, so he can offer the best possible impersonation of each new quarterback SMU faces as he leads the scout team's offense in practice. This week presented McDermott with perhaps his biggest challenge of the season, as he took on the role of Houston's record-setting quarterback, Case Keenum.

McDermott visited this week with PonyFans.com to discuss what he sees in Keenum on film that makes the Cougars' signal-caller so effective, and the challenges he faces as he runs a different offense each week.

Thanks, tristatecoog — when I asked him about the video he had watched of Keenum, it was obvious how much respect he has for what CK is able to do every week.
