This. In the post-McNabb years I haven't seen an SU quarterback have that "it" factor that Terrel seems to have. Actually, Nassib had it last year, especially near the end of the year.

I think it comes down to confidence. Terrel has the confidence of his teammates, his coaches, the fans. Everyone is behind him, that helps a lot for a college kid. It gives him a BMOC kind of swagger, which you need. McNabb had it, Nassib had it. Everyone in between it always felt like one mistake, one wrong turn and they'd fall apart. Perry, RJ (even though I thought he was pretty solid), Troy, etc... didn't have the support that Terrel has right now.

Now I fully expect (disclaimer: No I don't) Clemson to beat us 60-0, and Terrel to throw five interceptions, just because it would make sense that after we've built him up this much, the cosmos will tear him down. Beyond that, it would be kind of fun (in a gallows humor kind of way) to see the board meltdown. It would be epic.

There's no way Terrel keeps up this kind of pace, so the real question is when he faces adversity on the field for the first time, how does he respond? We haven't seen that yet. If his life to this point is any indicator, I think he'll respond.
