While Johnny Football was busy doing some aerobics videos the man who until Thursday was mostly known as the guy replacing Johnny Football had an impressive opening game against South Carolina.
Kenny Hill completed 16 of his first 20 pass attempts
Johnny Manziel also was 16 of his first 20 in his first college start ESPN Stats Info ( ESPNStatsInfo) August 28 2014
Hill who won the starting job over freshman Kyle Allen two weeks ago was 27 for 35 in the first half for 299 yards and two touchdowns. He finished with a school record 511 yards and 44 completions in the 52 28 upset.
The Aggies snapped South Carolina s 18 game home winning streak which was the longest in the nation. And Hill who declined to speak to the media before the game quickly became one of the most talked about quarterbacks in America.
You ve got to keep an eye on Kenny Hill said ESPN analyst Jesse Palmer after the game. He s for real and this Aggies team is for real.
A first game is just that. But for those wondering what life would be like after Manziel it might not be too bad.
Only one opposing offense earned more than 23 first downs vs. South Carolina in 2013 (Georgia with 25). AM had 23 in the first half. Matt Hinton ( MattRHinton) August 28 2014
