Brett Smith vs. ACS

[BeaverPoke]

If there is any doubt that the Pokes are better off now with Smith than with ACS this should help.
Freshman years:
ACS: 1953 yards, 10 TD, 5 INT...366 rush 3 TD....1 receiving TD
Smith: 2622 yards, 20 TD, 11 INT...710 rush 10 TD.... 1 receiving TD

Sophomore years:
ACS: 1702 yards, 9 TD, 8 INT...392 rush 3 TD
Smith: 2832 yards, 27 TD, 6 INT...248 rush 6 TD

Total through 2 years:
ACS: 3655 yards, 19 TD, 13 INT...758 rush 6 TD (1 receiving TD)
Smith: 5454 yards, 47 TD 17 INT, 958 rush, 16 TD (1 receiving TD)

Both QBs won MWC Freshman of the year.
ACS won a NM Bowl. Smith lost one.
But we all know that having ACS playing against Temple would not have stopped Temple running the ball all over us.

To me it is amazing Smith has such better numbers and is so much better. And ACS is a starting QB on an SEC team.
Christensen knows how to get QBs.
I don't know if ACS regressed because of a shitty O-Line, or just being a prima donna punk or a combo of that or what.
There is no doubt that Smith has the better WRs to work with, but Smith seems to make WRs better, I don't know if ACS has ever had that trait.

another interesting stat to look up between the two...

Sacks

our oline was poor for both qbs, but what stands out to me without having to look, is that brett ability to get rid of the ball under three seconds has helped him not take as many sacks.

acs would have the same looks, but not have the ability to get it out quickly, then he would take a sack.

His nickname wasn't Austin Carta Scrambles for anything. Happy feet.

On all those stats I don't know what is more impressive, the fact that during their freshman years, Smith had so many more TDs, or the stat that shows Smith was such a better runner, or the difference between their freshman and sophomore seasons.
ACS took a small step back his sopohomore year, but Smith last year had insane numbers (and missed 2 full games and parts of 2 others).

You have to be a complete moron not to know the answer to this question.
