Max entered in the 3rd Quarter and led the Gamecocks to a win in their Season Opener. Good for him. Wish he could have completed more passes here when he got the chance but hope he has a great year down there. He always seemed like a class act.

Redshirt freshman Eli Jenkins earned the starting nod at quarterback for the Gamecocks after a neck-and-neck battle with junior Max Shortell and sophomore Kyle West, but it would be Shortell that put the JSU offense on his back during that decisive third quarter.

The transfer entered the game early in the second quarter and ended up throwing for 216 yards and two touchdowns on 13-for-23 passing. He also ran for 22 of JSU's 108 yards on the ground...

:66 - Number of seconds between Max Shortell's two touchdown passes in the third quarter, the quickest amount of time between offensive touchdowns since Marques Ivory threw two touchdowns in an eight-second span against Murray State on Oct. 2, 2010.
 



Best wishes to Max. He's the kind of kid who could put up eye-popping stats at that level. Strong arm that he trusts too much, but I'm pulling for him.
