Johnny Manziel…Baker Mayfield…Brian Maurer??? Could it really be. Okay this is a massive overreaction. We’re basing this off of how Maurer played for Tennessee football when they lost at home 43-14 to the Georgia Bulldogs.
So let’s dial it back a bit. Still, in recent years, college football has been marked by underrated and undervalued quarterbacks on the recruiting trail who are mobile gunslingers and for some reason shine under the lights.
As a true freshman who stands at 6’3″ 193 pounds, Maurer may have shown some of that on Saturday. Against a top five team in a night game on national television, he gave Jeremy Pruitt and Jim Chaney something to work with.
