Murray Best QB In SEC?
Sure is good to hear Aaron was out there throwing it around, in the first day of spring football practice. That soccer scare had a lot of 'Dog fans worried for a minute. Can't lose this guy, if you're expecting to bounce back with a big season. Anyway, he's good.
And how about that first season as a starter? Better numbers than Greene or Zeier. And half the time, he was out there running for his life. I was impressed with his toughness and composure, more than those 3,000 passing yards and the 24 TD passes.
I expect him to play better this season, the second time around. His numbers might fall off some. Let's hope so, because that will mean that the 'Dogs aren't throwing it 40 times, in a catch-up mode. I'd be nice to play from the front and run it better.
Who's the competition for All-SEC? Brantley down at Florida? The kid Bray at Tennessee? Garcia at Carolina? Probably the guy he'll have to edge out is at Arkansas...Tyler Wilson. Petrino's going to be throwing it and Wilson has 3 senior playmakers in Greg Childs, Joe Adams and Jarvis Wright. Tyler Wilson will put up some big numbers.
Jefferson at LSU has a new passing game coordinator, so he's capable to having a solid season. With all the starters the Tigers have coming back, they will be one of the favorites to take the SEC. McCarron at Alabama has some players around him, but they'll be "run first."
Murray's in a good place this season. Sure A.J.'s gone, but Orson Charles and Tav King can go get it. Sturdivant and Glenn make a solid pair of tackles. Figgins is a nice protection piece at fullback. Maybe this group will protect better.
Aaron has the respect of the league and his team. Not sure about the media. Surely they can read the stat line. It'll be interesting to see who the "Pre-Season All-SEC QB" is later this summer. Bet Murray gets some serious consideration.
