Kyle took a beating his first game as a starter in 2005 at Doak. I was there, and impressed by him. Then throughout that year I thought he was progressing steadily and he did a good job of managing the game at Blacksburg and he had a 5-td game vs Wake Forest
At that point it looked like he was the guy we all thought we were getting as he committed to UM
But it all fell apart (as did the Coker era) on that fateful night at the Orange Bowl vs Gatech.
Neither Kyle or UM really recovered from that...
I remember telling a buddy after that FSU game - we got ourselves a qb. He was getting drilled that game but still was throwing darts to Olson, et al. Then, he had guys like The Toddler blocking for him the rest of his career. Actually, The Toddler got his nickname from that very same FSU game iirc. Right, [MENTION=4841]The Franchise[/MENTION] ?
