What should we expect from J’Mar Smith in 2017

In year one under Skip Holtz, the quarterback situation at Louisiana Tech was a bit rocky, and the starting job bounced between Texas Tech transfer Scotty Young and a not-ready-just-yet redshirt freshman Ryan Higgins.

Since then, however, the Bulldogs have employed a senior starter for three straight years, all of which produced nine wins and a bowl trophy. In 2014 and 2015, we saw graduate transfers Cody Sokol (Iowa) and Jeff Driskel (Florida) take control, and then in 2016 Ryan Higgins made his return to the starting job as a senior.
