The first one, thrown on a third and 21 from the White 31 yard line, was a pass down the middle that was picked off by walk-on Brandon Manning. Davis was quarterbacking the Maroon squad, which means that he turned the ball over deep in the opposition's territory, on a pass that looked as if it was intended for Manning. On his other interception, he rolled left and threw it into traffic, where it was picked off by redshirt freshman Mike Daniels, who was covering Keith Willis along the sideline. Both interceptions were poor reads and poor decisions by Davis, so that is one area in which Noel outperformed Davis. It's one of his favorite sayings, and it appeared that the lights had not been good for Noel, but they had been good for Davis.
Some guys are like that.
When the lights are on and it s game time, some guys step it up. I think I saw a little of that in Jason. But apparently, one 32-minute Spring Game in which Davis showed some promise did not do anything to reverse the opinion that Beamer and his staff have formed in countless hours of practice. The Tech offensive line will be facing one of the top defensive lines in the country during the Spring Game, and the results will be predictable and low-scoring. It didn't turn out that way.
