TD's: 35
INT's: 5
Comp: 70.1%
Rating: 159.3
Sacks: 15
You know which QB those stats compare to on the college level in recent memory?
Andrew Luck. With half the interceptions.
And Luck had a much better team around him last year than Smith had around him this season. Stanford had four guys taken in the first 42 picks of the draft last year, with two being offensive line. Geno has a horrible O-line and a worse defense and still put up nearly identical numbers to Luck last season.
Yeah, gimme Geno. Right here, right now.
