    This was the most WTF moment I have seen in a while. I was wondering what the actual rule for interpreting this is. I don't see how that is a first down.

      The fact that he is black, and it is a stereo type that if a QB is black, he is a dual threat, if he is white, he is a pocket passer, and if a wr is white, he is a possession receiver, and if a rb is white, he is a power runner.
      I have called him a running QB not because he is black or fast, but rather because since his first scrimmage at UK he has looked far more comfortable running the ball than passing from the pocket. His tendency is to take off and run rather than move in the pocket and buy time to make a throw.

        I very much agree.

          He looks pretty comfortable in the pocket to me. I think his height may be a concern at times. But when he's set I think he's okay. He definitely doesn't have it in him to move and throw...but I can't think of many UK quarterbacks who've been able to do that. Woodson, Lorenzen, Couch in my lifetime. That's probably the list. Seems to be a hellaciously difficult skill.

          I still think he can run. I'd put him probably in the same boat as Patrick Towles, who I also thought was pretty fast. They're not "dual threat quarterbacks" probably, but they can get yards when the play breaks down.

            He has gotten better.
