Redshirt junior quarterback AJ Swann finished the Sept. 27 game in Boise, Idaho with 64 total passing yards, 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions, putting him third in the NCAA for interceptions at the time.
Swann’s play against Boise State noticeably highlights a facet in Swann’s skill; in just sixteen starts, between Vanderbilt University, Louisiana State University and App State, Swann has thrown 15 interceptions at 57.1% completion.
Against Boise State, as fans watched Swann continue to give the ball away in game-changing moments, an uncomfortable truth sprouted in the heart of the Mountaineer offense: Swann couldn’t keep the ball to himself.
