UConn’s Johnny McEntee brought a wave of attention to himself earlier this month after posting to YouTube a video filled with an array of very impressive quarterback “trick shots”.
It was thought then that it was merely a matter of time before another signal caller responded in kind. Three weeks later, of course, the response has occurred.

And, while McEntee has barely touched the playing field during his time in Storrs, Tanney brings some statistics to the table; in 2009, Tanney was named the Midwest Conference’s player of the year after passing for nearly 4,000 yards and tossing 44 touchdowns. In 2008 and 2009, Tanney threw for nearly 7,500 yards and 94 touchdowns.
