Smith’s inexperience in Eddie Gran’s offense was not obvious in his first appearance for the Wildcats. He completed 5-of-9 passes (two of which were thrown away to avoid sacks) for 76 yards and two touchdowns. Each score came from fade routes, to Ahmad Wagner and Lynn Bowden, respectively.
In order to paint the clearest picture of what Smith brings to the table, we must go back to his time as Neal Brown’s signal-caller at Troy.

Before Brown was forced to give the reins of his offense to Smith, the Cantonment, Fl. native was used in spurts as a change of pace on the Trojans’ offense.
