[UpNorth_Buckeye]

Well in the descripition of the award it says it goes to the freshmen that affected their team the most. I dont know if Watkins had the impact for Clemson that Braxton had for OSU

This. QB vs. WR/HB

Congrats Brax! I can't wait to see what he does next year. He could be an All American next year, IMHO.

Calm down there Sparky.

Remember, Matt Barkley is one of many good QB's coming back.

BTW, I have never even heard of this award.

Just started in 2009 when LaMicheal James won it. Last year's winner was Marcus Lattimore

Pretty good company.

I agree with the sentiment that we will not know what Braxton is really capable of until we see what a competent offensive coaching staff/cood allows him to do.

Can't wait to see what it is.

If he can just be able to put a little air under the ball on those deep throws, he's gonna be even more fun to watch

Wasn't he more guilty of overthrowing than underthrowing?

Depends on which ESP(i)N guy was calling the game... I think it was either the bowl game or the game... one guy said "He'll learn to under throw that one" then some other asinine statement like "well he shoulda put more air under that one"

I remember hearing the learning to underthrow comments by the announcer.

I just vividly remember the overthrows in The Game though

That announcer was talking about making the back shoulder throw to receivers that are covered. It was a good observation.

Oh yeah. The benefit of seeing those things as a freshman is you know he has time to work on any faults he has.

 

[Bestbuck36]

He was overthrowing his receivers by not putting enough air under the ball on the deep passes to let the receivers run under it. He was throwing on a pretty tight line and if it didnt hit the guy he overthrew him by quite a lot usually.

 

[dragurd]

Indeed those on a line deep throws are pretty when they work but putting a little more air under it giving the receiver time to adjust to the ball means he completes more of those.
