Not on that day he sure as Hell didn't.
His "statement" game for why he should be the starter was 11 games later in 2018 against Wake Forest. You could argue it was 7 games later when he came in to relieve Wimbush against LSU and made that late pass to Boykin for the winning TD. I'd still say it was Wake though.
I don't believe illusions because too much is for real.
