The Ups
- Sam Hartman. 31/51 (60.8%), 378 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs. For a true freshman on the road, that’s filthy, y’all. He also added 64 yards on 13 carries. Not bad at ALL. But to me, the most impressive part was the poise and versatility he showed. Sam hit bombs, he threw darts, he dropped passes in the bucket (including a truly incredible one that was in a high pressure situation from his own end zone), and he made good reads and even made adjustments mid-game. There were a couple bad decisions (one in particular) but this kid has every tool in the box and what seems to be the spirit of a leader as a true freshman.
