1st time starting (jitters), played well enough, most importantly won the game. He's better vs Moss. He ran for positive yds, kept the D off balance, moved the chains and kept the momentum. Sure he made careless mistakes ( a pick 6 IT and 2 costly fumbles), he knows that. I think he will clean that part up.
He rebounded well. Very good short term memory and regrouping ability. I like Maiava as QB1.
Xlent points Brad. We got to remember, Maiava was a last minute, plan B QB for C. LR, all the plan A QB's turned him down. He was the best plan B QB left. Oh yeah, USC almost lost him too. Maiava picked UGA over USC, but 4 days later changed his mind, de-committed and signed with USC. That was a very close call. Hell, the team needed to get a decent reserve.
C. LR does not have much choice now with 2 games left, Maiava is QB1. The kid has Moxie and Mojo which is very important for a QB... Cheers.
