Mathis was placed in a terrible position in 2020 having to jump in to start in a pinch, but I swear it may have gone differently except for the questionable hit on him by Bumper Poole on a scramble. He just lost any confidence after that.

I disagree. There was nothing at all questionable about the uncalled targeting by Bumper Pool. He should have been ejected and D’wan was understandably shaken given his prior history with a brain cyst.

Several thoughts come to mind here.
1) Dwan should have NEVER been put in the position to start a game for UGA. The talent just is not there! The effort was valiant however.
2) Dwan QUIT on his team. Bottom line.
3) $50 says he doesn’t start game 3 for the fighting Owls.

I’ll take that bet.
And D’wan was benched, so he looked for playing time somewhere else. Hard to see how that qualifies as quitting.

And in Justin Fields fashion, he’s throwing guys under the bus for his own issues, saying that his WRs “wouldn’t have made 6th string at Ohio State.”

Thanks for that: I had no memory of him either, but I didn’t think white lightning was right. I suspect tOSU could make a similar claim. Seems like they have had a number of QBs transfer out, including Dwan, I believe.

D’wan was an OSU commit, not a player. We flipped him.

He was on the sideline a lot during games for the 2017 season. I’d see him with the other QBs as Fromm would trot in off the field. Other than that, no impact.

WV should be a hell of a lot of fun to watch this year. They’re running a very Mike Leach style air raid, and Daniels can throw it a mile.

Their first game is against Pitt I think. Pitt’s qb is also a transfer from USC. He is the guy who got the starting job after JT got hurt in the first game of his second year— leading to his transfer to UGA. Should be an interesting game.

He looked fine right up until he met Bumper Pool.
His entire attitude about playing tackle football changed in that moment.
It happens in any dangerous activity and that’s why there’s so few of them that do it well:

Seems every CFB program is now a minor stepping stone for QBs. I think there was a recent stat showing 40% of all starting QBs now, came in as transfers from other schools.

It is pretty crazy. The last three starting QBs for Southern Cal (JT Daniels, Kedon Slovis, and Jaxson Dart) are going to be playing on a different team in 2022. I saw a stat that like 18 or 19% of QBs that finished 2021 as a starter in FBS are going to be playing on different team in 2022 than they were playing on in 2021. And that doesn’t include Spencer Rattler or former blue-chip Quinn Ewers.
