We are well into the homestretch of the 2019 football season. The Rebels have played nine games and won just three. Injuries at the quarterback position forced Matt Luke and his staff to make a tough decision and to play one of their freshmen signal callers in the absence of redshirt freshman starter Matt Corral.
He immediately made an impact in a last-second loss to Cal, exploding onto the scene with an electrifying run and a few passes downfield, putting the Rebels in a position to score, go for two, and force overtime. We all know what happened, but the proverbial seed was planted.
