He was the only P4 QB to sport a double-digit PFF Big Time Throw%. He led the SEC in Splash Pass% (+35). And he finished with college football\u2019s 2nd-best yards\/dropback clip\u2026as a freshman.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGranted, the Samford game considerably boosted his bottom line. But even with that matchup omitted from his profile, both his 8.7 Y\/A and 15.6% Explosive Pass% (+20) were top of the crop in my off-season QB study. Florida might be set up to fail due to another brutal schedule.
