Based on the throws he made last night, I would say yes. Plus, his feet will still allow him to improvise and make plays like last night.

Sure we did. You don’t think he gets reps during the week at practice? Plus every rep during the spring. With exception of a few designed runs it was the same game plan. ZC just had the speed and ability to make plays with his feet when things broke down that BW can’t do.

Man ain’t gonna lie on one of his first passes to wide open Peter for a first down that went 4’ behind him I got a little nervous.

He’s right-handed Levi with a better arm IMO.

I am not doubting his abilities. Just saying he did some things last night that once coaches see film and prepare for him won’t be there anymore.

Way to early for that comment. Levi had an escape ability as if he had eyes behind his head. Let’s see what happens going forward.

My hope is that what they take away from Zeon will open other opportunities for us on offense. We gashed UAB up the middle numerous times last night after ZC was in the game. Our running game is already much improved over last season. Respecting the QB keeper adds a new dynamic.

As some have alluded to with Desormeaux's background he is fully qualified to handle this situation properly.
