Seriously? You want to blow up this roster?

I think the pundits who were proclaiming Kevin Jennings an early 2025 Heisman candidate can scratch him off that list

I imagine there are a whole lot of torn ACLs on this thread, what will all the knee-jerk reactions…

This was a great learning experience. Now we can see first hand where we need to get to as a program.

After watching this game, yes. It was an absolute embarrassment of low football IQ plays. Unforced interceptions, unforced false starts, unforced PI that extended a lay for them. Too many of them.

If we want to compete at this stage, we need significant upgrades.

I think the main difference was OL. ThatΓÇÖs where we need to upgrade. Yes, KJ had a bad game, but he will learn from this.

I agree itΓÇÖs most apparent the OL where need significant upgrades. But Jennings is a gunslinger and heΓÇÖs clearly not learned. He didnΓÇÖt learn after Duke, he didnΓÇÖt learn after the Clemson game. He makes too many bad reads and mistakes. The spotlight may just be too big for him in big games.

The defense was fantastic today, all things considered.

Surprised this comment didn’t generate more responses… he’s done a lot of good this year but I have to agree with this and I do find myself asking if Stone was the right decision and if we need to go seek out a transfer portal QB if we expect to upgrade to conference champs and championship contender. Will be interesting to see as KJ clearly struggled in big games.

Great season, exceeded expectations and it was great entertainment with a fun team to watch. As someone mentioned, we now know where we need to be in the coming years- we wanted to play with the big boys and this is what weΓÇÖll see more of. ItΓÇÖs not coincidental that JenningΓÇÖs implosions came against the three best DΓÇÖs we played this year. Getting first team reps in the spring and summer will help him make the leap in my opinion, I mean heΓÇÖs a talented but green QB and IΓÇÖm looking forward to seeing him play next Fall. I support him.
