2017: Levi Lewis is looking DAMN good

[zephyr]

Well, everyone bought into it after the Texas A&M game right? More Hud= More BS

Seems like Turbine is trying to change the narrative. All I heard after Spring and into fall was how much JD had turned the corner and was ready for the spotlight. Now he's saying that Levi Lewis was the talk of the town?

True, but that's Hud's narrative as well.

Hud dictated the Spring narrative, Davis was the named #1 QB going into the Spring.

Newspaper articles built on the Hud narrative.

I'm talking about what some organic fans projected at the time. I was not one of them.

It all boils down to the head coach's preferences. He is an athlete worshiper. Look how much he goes on and on about the "broken play ability" of LL. Coach, that's like maybe 10% of the plays. "Broken play" QB's always get hurt. Playbooks always get simplified. Guys lose confidence. And, the cycle repeats as the head coach looks to the bench for the next gifted athlete to play QB.

Hence, the offense will always regress with Hudspeth at the wheel.

True.

When Mitchell went down, it simplified things quite a bit for the opposing defenses.

Mitchell and Ragas were rarely in the same backfield together. Pretty easy to play call depending on whose in the game along with circumstances.

Why wasn't Levi Lewis the starter in game One?

None of the quarterbacks had any experience and reports were Levi was the best QB in the spring.

I don't think Lewis was here in spring ball. I think he was here for summer workouts. Summer school is another reason a guy can graduate in 3 1/2 years. Recall Brooks Haack did it which allowed him to transfer to Northwestern State after it became likely he would not start in 2016.

While true that Mitchell and Ragas were not in the game together much, the change of pace from 2 different type backs did make it tougher on defenses. It was similar to Harris and McGuire.

'Best QB isn't on campus yet'

I'm not sure what I am recalling.

I recall BasinBear liking Davis but it must have been from his recruiting video.
