So how well is he doing? Now he has played 3 cupcakes, but also remember that other players played those same cupcakes too and had full seasons...
Personally....I see Leary doing better as the season goes along. His pace isn't exactly easy to judge since it was 3 easier opponents...but he still will play Vandy, Tennessee, Louisville, Florida, USCjr, Miss State and Mizzou...so it's not like it's a murderers row of defenses after all.
Seriously...in 3 games he's close to topping Stephen, Terry, and Patty Ice already.
Another point to make is the change that happened once we moved on from Gran...even though last year wasn't great it still was the 2nd best passing year of the Stoops era...and that was with a terrible offensive line and an injured QB.
