Zeon Chriss

[RaginDave]

No tape? He played a full bowl game.

You do realize Zeon did not come into the Bowl game until midway through the 3rd quarter, right? Chandler was in the game until he got hurt around the 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter.

Thought it was the second quarter...but still there is tape

No, according to the play by play, Chandler was in the game up until about 3 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. That is when Zeon came in, so you might have about a quarter or so. In fact, Zeon was in on about 3 series in the entire game. He was in on the Chris Smith fumble drive, then took over the next series when the Cajuns punted the ball deep to the Cougars and a couple of plays later, they scored on a long pass. Then he threw an INT to end the game with .03 left.

Not a ton of tape.

Y'all keep touting it as he just played against an unprepared defense. He will just keep proving yall wrong.

No, I am not touting that, just stating facts. I think the kid is special and is going to ball out the next few weeks and beyond.

The defense wasn't unprepared. It was a bad defense.

It looks as though Zeon is going to have an opportunity to be a starter, probably for more than one game. We'll see what he does with that opportunity. I'm very optimistic. But I want to see how he does as a starter.

I'm optimistic as well that he is going to show that he should, and will be, the starter for many years to come.

He will have growing pains. But his upside will shine through and we will be more explosive.

And it doesn't get much easier for a bad defense, they have Georgia this weekend and Tulane the following week. They then get a USF team that gave Alabama fits and then good UTSA team. This could be a long year for Coach Dilfer. I have to believe he would have thought at worst he would have split the SBC games between us and Georgia Southern, instead he gave up 49 vs them and 41 vs us. Georgia and Tulane (if Pratt is healthy) could put 80 on them.
