Zeon Chriss

Two sides to that coin. They didn’t prep for him, but neither did we…outside if a 1-1/2 hour rain delay.

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.

His arm was what impressed me the most when he settled in.

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.

[KajunKrazy]

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.

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.

. . . and Levi had The Bird behind him . . .

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.

[Turbine]

It'll be curious to see ... how our offensive coaches devise game plans for him with more time.

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

[Big Buds]

I knew the, "yeah but" crowd would show up.

Definitely not yeah buting. I think Zeon has more upside then any QB we have had in the last quarter century. Just stating the fact that UAB had no tape on the kid.

Yes. Levi would make people miss in the pocket keeping his eyes down field to throw it. ZC early on appears to tuck it and run as soon as things break down and he feels pressure. Hopefully he gets more comfortable in the pocket as he gains experience.

You are probably right. But there is a reason that none of us know completely why Des and Leger saw him take every rep during the spring and didn't name him the starter.

My guess is ball security. He probably puts the ball in a little more danger than Ben. He has the it factor though. I think the coaches showed they believe in him by putting him in after Ben went down. They know he’s the most talented guy.
