SEC Extra Points: 2017 Shaping Up to Be the Year of the Quarterback
The race to be named first-team All-SEC quarterback this year is about as exciting as a mud run.
It's slow, lacks rhythm and you never know what's going to happen from one moment to the next.
Ole Miss' Chad Kelly and Texas A&M's Trevor Knight looked great earlier this year, but injuries knocked both of them out of action in early November. Missouri's Drew Lock and Tennessee's Joshua Dobbs are tied for the conference lead with 21 touchdown passes each but are completing less than 60 percent of their passes. Arkansas' Austin Allen is next with 20, but has tossed 10 picks and isn't getting any help from his offensive line.
The quarterback play is subpar, but that will turn around in a hurry.
