I often wonder how the 2017 season would have turned out if Kaaya had stayed. For him to be our all time passing yards leader in only 3 seasons is just mind blowing to me. On the list of top 10 passing yards in a season, Kaaya is on the list 3 times, one for each season he played. I believe his 2014 campaign(true freshman) was #9, his 2015 season was tied for #7 and his 2016 season was #2. Bernie Kosar's 1984 season was #1.
With his passing ability, would we have even been in some of those close games? Do we lose to Pitt? Do we go undefeated in the regular season? Do we play Clemson much closer? Not that it matters......
Also interesting to note that TVD threw for close to 3000 yards in 8 games and was only 150 yards or so away from the #10 spot in the top 10 passing yards in a season list which is currently occupied by Malik Rosier believe it or not. It will be interesting to see how many yards TVD throws for in 2022 and the numbers he could put up if he were to stay through 2023.
