In other news, Justin Willis was still on the team

After dropping out of sight once June Jones came to town, I thought Willis had left SMU long ago.

willis was 10x better than bo levi, but june wanted his own guy in their.

 

[YourAllAmerican]

Can't agree with that, 5-0. I never thought Willis was a good quarterback. He was fine when everything was running smoothly, but it took almost nothing to rattle him.

But you're right, he lost the QB job because Jones didn't like how he acted and wanted to both set an example and get one of his star recruits in the lineup quickly.

ok, all i can say is i saw bo levi throw cup cake picks to defensive lines mind you all season long. willis was a whole heck of a lot better ats imo. gl

Bo Levi will be much better than JWill ever was. Willis had problems on and off the field. His father was shot dead recently, which made his situation a whole lot worse. I wish him the best in the future. Look for SMU to cover some overs with everyone coming back on offense...

I think he was trying to make it as a wideout. Yeah, from what I heard, he was having off-field issues. Also agree that he wasn't all that as a passer.

feel bad for the guy...

feel bad for the guy...

Don't. He's never been a good guy.

 

[AlwaysKeen]

really? I remembered he punched that guy a while back...

 

[YourAllAmerican]

He was in almost constant off-the-field trouble his whole time at SMU. General low-level thuggery.

Jones has had a history of sniffing those guys out and getting rid of them...
