2017: Levi Lewis is looking DAMN good

[Cajunfanatico]

Which one runs for 129 yards? As much as you guys want to discount running QBs, it is a huge part of the college game.

And ran for those 129 yards in his first college game. The kid has moves that no coach can coach. He left defenders looking around saying, "where the hell did he go?".

Geeze, give him just a decent OL, coupled with Ragas and Mitchell and our WR's as options, and the sky's the limit.

At least for this week.

[SlickRick]

There was nothing impressive about his QB skills. Athletically, the kid is gifted. But once again our play calling was atrocious. He better strap it on tight next week cause ole miss is gonna be gunning for him

Nothing impressive? Really. What would have impressed you with a true freshman making his first start in a FBS football game? Tell me what you know.

[SlickRick]

Come on. He scrambled left and hit a WIDE open receiver. Not discounting his ability. Just not anything the other two couldn't do. That's all I'm saying.

LL was fearless today.

God I would hate 3rd downs trying to defend him....scared to play man underneath ......scared of a full force rush....on both he can devastate the defense as shown today......southpaws always seem to have that slow delivery but he did well protecting the ball....welcome and thanks for leading us to a win....hey Slick, fearless sounds pretty good!!!

I know what I saw and out of the 3 QBs we have, he is the least skilled...quarterback. His athleticism and elusiveness is very impressive. But he hit two wide open guys. He’s an amazing athlete playing QB. He sailed most of his other throws and had two dropped interceptions. It seemed like after he didn’t hit his first read he took off running which was fine today but I think moving forward as a QB his passing needs to improve and he needs to go through his progressions. Just my opinion. He’s a gamer for sure and I’m happy to have him as a Cajun. Just has a long way to go

I get it. But his elusiveness was the difference in the game. His first touchdown throw was ALL due to him escaping the rush and finding a receiver. That touchdown was essentially the offensive difference.

He didn't have to throw today, but you could tell he had a strong arm. He carried the ball with a bit of abandon. He didn't make great choices in the second half (should have fumbled or been picked a few times.)

I'm pretty confident though that Nunez loses that game like 14-13 because he couldn't make the plays with his legs.

[Cajunsmike]

Which throw did he make tonight that made you think he can “make the throws? I’m not killing the kid, I thought he was ok. But the truth is, he’s a typical Hud QB. An athlete that throws. He’s obviously a gifted runner.

But his passing game is a long way away. Yes, we realize it was start #1. And that’s fine. Just stating what happened on the field.

This same thing happened with Jordan Davis. He played 1 game and everyone was ready to crown him. Based on his athletic ability.

One difference between Davis and Lewis is that Lewis seems to know how to slide appropriately before taking a hit. That may prevent him from being injured.

He has a long way to go, and a lot of time in which to do it. Thinking of that kid playing as an uninjured senior should give opposing coaches nightmares.

Now, I realize this is only one game, but we've heard a lot of good things about the kid, and today, his first start at qb ever at the college level, he comes out fearless like SlickRick says. He's like, "I'm going to show them what I can do", and then did it. I like what I see.

I don't think he was sacked last night. If he was, it wasn't for a big loss. He sure as heck avoided his fair share by using his feet.

It's called "pocket presence" and it's something that can't be taught....I had a friend at the game who has been in football at all levels and has a large amount of experience in recruiting and scouting. He told me that this kid has "eyes in the back od his head". He also said something that unless you were at the game you did not get to see. "I love his sideline demeanor". I knew exactly what he meant. Yes, he has a long way to go. But his upside is tremendous. I

[Crawfish]

I think he has a great upside considering this was his first FBS game as true freshman. That said, I hope that he can continue to develop and not get hurt as most of the quarterbacks that Hud has brought in have. I do hate that his redshirt had to be burned with half of the season in the books though. We did seemed to have a lot of young players out there last night. I hope that is a good omen for the future no matter who is the head coach.
