Tiger Takeaways: What we Learned from the Opener

Related Topics: Quarterback, Garbage time

Never once have I seen a quarterback get such effusive praise for completing less than half of his passes in a game. But that is exactly what happened as Drew Lock went 23/51 for 280 yards and a garbage time touchdown in the game. While it is true that Lock did look better than last season, there was a lot that looked very similar to last year’s anemic offensive showing.

The most disheartening thing to watch for me was when Lock would hit a receiver in the hands and they couldn’t make the catch. Most notably was J’Mon Moore in the third quarter.
