Cooper Rush first became a national darling as the player who threw for seven touchdowns and 497 yards in a single bowl game in the inaugural Popeye's Bahamas Bowl in 2014.
That year, he was coing off his second season as the starter, his first season at the helm full-time under Dan Enos, who ran a more conservative pro-style offense.
Many pundits had legitimate questions as to whether or not Cooper Rush could repeat the season he had in 2014, when he had Titus Davis as a lead receiver and Thomas Rawls as a running back prior to the start of the 2015 campaign.
