Plan still to redshirt Emory Jones despite surprise appearance
I found that quote to be very interesting. Basically Mullen used the opportunity to show recruits that he will play Freshmen in big games with meaningful snaps, unlike how Fields was used against LSU. Jones was used with recruiting in mind.
Mullen said:"I guess the talk all week is one of the freshman quarterbacks is going to be in the game a lot," Mullen said. It was true, it was just ours. His numbers were better than their freshman quarterback (Justin Fields') numbers, so I'm proud of him."
