Bill Blankenship, who'd later coach at Tulsa, was Fuente's high school mentor. His pass-heavy offenses were a perfect fit for the strong-armed but not necessarily mobile quarterback, and his calm and calculating temperament helped fully convince Fuente, who'd previously envisioned playing tight end, to buy in to the quarterback position.

Further cementing Fuente as the perfect fit for Tech.

The Orange and Maroon you see, that's fighting on to victory.

This article further validates my belief that JJ will take a solid step forward this year. I'd love for someone smarter and with more time on their hands than me to compare JJ's first season to Paxton Lynch's. The kid saw a significant boost in productivity over his time in Fuente and Cornelson's system. I'm cautiously optimistic that JJ will follow that path.
