Ok I’ll try to give you a timeline and overall scenario of our program. His dad coached Byrnes HS here, which was a powerhouse from mid 2000’s with like 6 state titles. He left to take a job at Presbyterian College, which is D2 and didn’t do well. ended up out at Auburn with Muschamp after he had his fall at Florida. Once we hired Muschamp,he came with him from Auburn & Jake graduated early from HS in Alabama. they originally redshirted hm, but burned it a few games in. biggest faults were no pocket awareness, threw over receivers a bunch, no running to extend plays & got sacked. but he threw some good bombs & he had good receivers (Deebo, Edwards, Hayden Hurst) so they helped pad his stats. Over years he got better, but big games seemed to get in his own head once he started poorly. Clemson game last year was his high light (500 yds 5tds) also bowl game vs Michigan in 17.but we followed that up w/ a 28-0 stink fest to UVA in Belk Bowl. and NC game before he got hurt he wasn’t playing well at all. but I really do put a lot of that on Muschamp being a QB killer. Jeff Driskel & Jacoby Brissett had this problem at FL, but transfered out and are both solid NFL QBs. he would have had a solid year this year if he hadn’t got hurt, but now he knows this year coming up will determine if he shows progress and learned from his mistakes here. exemplary guy outside of school, did our school and state proud and know he’s excited to come out there. Lack of development here cost him some, so we all hope he tears it up with y’all just to prove Muschamp’s ineptitude as a coach and we can finally get rid of him lol. hope this help, I’m trying to be the bridge to our fans also. Y’all can go to the Reddit sub thread r/Gamecocks if you want to get some other people’s take. I posted there to to ask for some other points from other peeps, hope this helps ✌🏈🍻
