Can we now stop with some of the bullshit, racist post about "white, gym rat" quarterbacks?

Fact of the matter is both QBs played like it was their first season of college football. Some good - some bad. I find it weird that they ran Hartman more than they have Newman, but maybe that has to do with depth chart - not sure of Hinton's health. It will be interesting to see what happens next year with the QB position. My sense is that Hartman has the higher upside, but I worry about his durability. It would be really nice if Hartman and Newman both go into next season totally healthy.
I hope both go into next season. I’m still worried Newman could transfer.
Jamie Newman's QB rating last night was 172.3.

That's 0.1 higher than Hartman's 172.2 vs. Louisville...

Here are the top QB ratings in ACC games under Clawson:
244.8 - 2017 Wolford vs. Louisville (28/34, 461 yards, 5 TD)
200.3 - 2018 Newman at Duke (18/23, 177 yards, 4 TD, 50 yards rushing)
192.7 - 2016 Wolford vs. Virginia (9/10, 83 yards, 1 TD, 94 yards rushing, 1 rush TD)
172.3 - 2018 Newman at State (22/33, 297 yards, 3 TD)
172.2 - 2018 Hartman at Louisville (16/24, 223 yards, 2 TD)
172.1 - 2017 Wolford at Syracuse (25/38, 363 yards, 3 TD, 136 yards rushing, 3 rush TD)
Sports reference hasn't updated, but according to BSD, Newman's QBR vs. Duke was 200.3. That's the 2nd best ACC performance in ACC play under Clawson.
I didn’t get to see the whole game but the two throws he missed in the 1st quarter were to Dortch and Bachman in the sideline. They were well covered and he put the ball in bounds were only they could get to it. They weren’t bad misses and they were two of his only five incompletions on the day.
This is why Hartman was the starter.
