There are plenty of very legitimate reasons why the story of Ole Miss’ dramatic and redemptive upset of Texas A&M has focused so completely on Shea Patterson. The freshman quarterback was nothing short of incredible in his first collegiate action, racking up over 400 yards of offense and leading a fourth-quarter comeback in front of 100,000 screaming Aggies, all while under withering pressure from one of country’s most dominant defensive fronts. There’s also something to be said of Shea as a vessel of hope. He promises a future for a program trapped in an uncertain present, and Rebel fans have been understandably expeditious in focusing their attention on that promise.
