Just named the starter at Mississippi State, so it will be interesting to see how he does down there.
I definitely think this adds a bit of a wrinkle to this year for Franklin... If Stevens does well at MSU and Clifford struggles, you know everyone will be extremely critical of how JF handled the QB situation. I don't think Clifford will struggle, but it's out there.
Good luck to Tommy, I am glad he got the starting nod there. Even though he transferred I am still hoping he does well. Same for Moorhead, I want to see him do well also, I appreciate what he did for our offense.
All that said, my expectation for Tommy Stevens is that he will have a pretty good year... though he will struggle at times with staring down receivers and against better defenses he'll throw some INTs. I believe that's why they weren't willing to give him the starting position here, he was great with all the physical tools but reading a defense has where he struggled.
Best wishes to Tommy. I hope things work out for him. Seems to have all the tools he needs from his limited field time.
My only concern about him starting this year at PSU was injuries. He seemed to have a number of injuries but not a lot of playing time. A risk of the game – everyone could be one play away from an injury.
I am glad Tommy got picked to start. I was sad to see him leave the program but hope for the best for him. He did a lot for Penn State. He could have left a couple of times earlier but stuck it out.
As I said before, I'll be pulling for Tommy & JoMo, unless they play us!
