Even though the opponents haven’t been near as tough, quarterback Landry Jones has been sharper in games when he’s had all the first-team practice snaps.

Sam did a great job while starting as a red shirt freshman. No reason to think Landry can't be good too, offensive line and receivers taken into account.

I think you first statement in the article, "TOUGHER Opponents" has more to do with Landry Jones's success than the practice snaps. I mean let's be real you could make up a team from the Best of Tulsa and Kansas,- no one from Idaho State-would make the cut- and they would still fall to Miami and Texas. I'm sure the more snaps helps, and I hope to see Landry continue to improve, but I think the evidence is weak to make such an arguement.
