    He surely did. Here I am, nearly 30 years later, just realizing that fact.

    So has there ever been a true freshman start the opening game at qb?

    That's an excellent question. Not that I can remember.

    Herb Tyler took over the starting job from Jamie Howard midway through the Bring Back the Magic season in '95.

    After the 5 pick sixes against Auburn in the 2nd half game. I remember people calling the radio stations wanting Jaime Howard to meet them in parking lots to beat him up after that game.

    Ugh, I left a really good tree stand to watch that game. Should have stayed in the woods.

    There were only 3 pick-sixes, of the 5 ints (the first 3). All 5 were thrown in the 4th quarter.

    Yes, that was Hallman's last year and the year before Tyler was a freshman.

    I watched the game at the kitchen table of my ex-in laws in New Orleans. I sat motionless for about an hour after that game ended. It was unbelievable.

    I blame that one on Lynn Amedee, the offensive coordinator. It was an easy rollout pass play, Howard was instructed to throw the ball if the receiver was open, else throw it away. But he wasn't getting it and kept trying to force in the pass. And Amedee kept calling the play. Curley or Amedee should have seen that Howard wasn't getting it after two interceptions and not let the other three happen. They should have scrapped the play or pulled Howard.
