Sophomore John Wolford is the most experienced quarterback for the Deacs. He knows the playbook better than any other quarterback on the roster, including freshmen Kendall Hinton and Kyle Kearns. Additionally, he’s the most consistent. Sure, he may lack the amount of speed and athleticism Hinton possesses, but he has superior accuracy, the factor most important for his position.
Despite four interceptions this season, he has made up for it with incredible statistics for total offense. Moreover, it would be unfair to place all the blame squarely on him.
Several variables go into account when determining a quarterback’s level of success; among them are blocking from the offensive line, proper route running by the receivers and the ability for receivers to swat away under thrown and overthrown balls — denying defenders a chance at an interception.
