While Johnny Football was busy doing some aerobics videos, the man who until Thursday was mostly known as the guy replacing Johnny Football had an impressive opening game against South Carolina.
Hill, who won the starting job over freshman Kyle Allen two weeks ago, was 27 for 35 in the first half for 299 yards and two touchdowns. He finished with a school-record 511 yards and 44 completions in the 52-28 upset.
The Aggies snapped South Carolina’s 18-game home winning streak, which was the longest in the nation. And Hill, who declined to speak to the media before the game, quickly became one of the most talked about quarterbacks in America.
“You’ve got to keep an eye on Kenny Hill,” said ESPN analyst Jesse Palmer after the game. “He’s for real and this Aggies team is for real.”
