He improved as the year went on and crowned the year with this huge win tonight. Going into off season with a big win is big for our program in so many ways. Levi still can get better and will work hard at it. And he will be pushed hard by those behind him. 11 wins AND a Bowl Championship ...... I'm so proud of these Kids and their Coaches.
Levi exceeded my expectations this year. Hell of a season. I do wish he would keep the ball more often on the zone read. Makes me wonder if those plays are actually a read option. It think he’d be even more dangerous. Either way, hell of a season. Can’t wait to see what next year brings.
I wasn’t hurt. It was just irritating to read week after week. We’re not a P5 school. Burrow or Tua ain’t walking into our locker room unless something drastic happens. Jake Delhomme even had flaws in his game, as he wasn’t even drafted.
But Levi, even with his flaws and shortcomings (he makes me nervous as hell every time he runs backwards) plays his ___ off for the team. And last night, he did what many of us questioned and kept that ball on runs.
As BasinBear pointed out, the dude still has another year to get even better. If someone on the roster beats him out for the starting job next season, then so be it. It would mean that dude is one hell of a player, but until that happens, he is our QB who just led us to 11 wins.
I agree, he makes me nervous when he runs backwards, but man that dude is athletic. He outruns almost every defender and gives himself a chance to make a play with his arm and/or his legs.
I had a friend of mine text me during the game (This guy is an ACC guy, UNC fan). Said, I love your QB, he is unbelievably accurate and strong arm.
We are lucky to have this kid, not to mention how great of a leader he is.
I was impressed by his decision making last night. It’s what held him back in big games all year. I want him to make a believer out of me.
I was very fair to LL this season. And I’m certainly not a “hater.” I don’t care who plays QB, just win. I Praised when he played well and questioned when he didn’t.
I’ll admit, I never thought he’d be capable of improving the way he has. I can’t remember a QB improving as much as he has from one year to the next.
Congrats on a great game Levi. Keep running the football.
If we get this LL next season, we’ll be playing in a NY6 bowl for sure.
