I see you edited your original post. Patterson's sophomore passing "records" are miniscule that its not worth sighting. In 1996 Donovan McNabb as a Sophomore passed for 1776 yards on 118 completions with 215 passing attempts. He also threw for 19 TD and 9 INT. As I said Patterson was a solid player but in 2004 he threw 1851 yards on 168 completions with 289 passing attempts with 7 TD passes and 10 INT. Patterson's coaching was atrocious and the coaching staff had so much confidence in the kid that they stuck a true Freshman on the field against Purdue in the season opener. The fact Coach P and DeLeone didn't trust Patterson in 2004 and RS Fields stunted his growth for 2004, and then the GRob disaster occurred.

McNabb was the better player, but the Sophomore passing record of 75 yards isn't anything IMO. If Patterson had better coaching he could have been a better player. I know you love Coach P and I don't want to tear him down,but I believe DeLeone was AWFUL coaching our offensive talent from 2002-2004. My overall point was though Patterson is the worst case scenario for Hunt and that isn't an insult to either player as I thought Patterson was a good game manager and if he had better coaching could have done better.
