Eh, well, as someone that watches the game, but isn't a big football guy - I think Long looks far more impressive than Hunt at almost any point this year.  He throws a tighter ball, has some touch - and just seems to the better all-around QB at this point.  That's a true frosh versus a junior - which isn't saying that much for Hunt.

Hunt throws interceptions because he can't throw a football.  Someone mentioned AJ being 4/6 (TD/INT), but I'd take that over the 1/4 Hunt has put up, including games against a couple crap opponents for Hunt.  Long's interceptions stand out more because they've been backbreaking, but his seem more about a lack of experience - not being unable to throw a football.

Obviously the INT returned for a TD yesterday, and the one against Clemson where we had just turned them over and gave the ball right back on the first play (on that little flick that didn't get over the linebackers head) hurt us a ton.  He seems to struggle a bit with people dropping back in coverage, or zone coverage - but he's a true frosh.  He'll probably continue to do so this year.

With that being said, regarding yesterday, it's not every day that they defensive end dropping into coverage is a 6'6" former WR - who runs like that on the return.  Most DE's are probably gassed and go down well before that.  Take that one away, and we probably win...well, hopefully win (assuming the D could hold them).

I don't know, I'm still okay with Long, I had given up on Hunt for the most part.
