I'm sure most of you were as disheartened as I was when JT went down on Saturday afternoon. I was less worried about the future of the team than I was about his own future, and maybe a little too worried that my weekly projections would not end up having the chance to be realized. Still, JT had one hell of a season, and his return next year and beyond should only spark excitement and promise for even better things to come. Get well soon, JT.

I included projections here just to think about what might have been. JT was only 166 passing yards and 62 rushing yards away from being a 3000/1000 yard QB, and there's no reason to think he wouldn't have done this against Wisconsin. Still, 3,772 yards and 45 TDs isn't too bad for a RS Freshman playing his first competitive football in 2 years!
