And you still win the game. Thats a good football team. It was his first start. Feels like a rookie. He played well in the fourth quarter. Because he put points on the board. I thought he did some good things. You know what i thought . 1826. Thats what were going to get from him. High percentage, short passing game, try not to make too many mistakes. A pick or two every so often. With the help of the running game. He helped the running game. He scrambled for a few first downs with his legs. Some mobility. Better in the coming weeks.
