Cunningham, a redshirt junior, has been a pivotal piece for the Cards offense since his freshman year. He\u2019s blossomed from a run-first freshman into a legitimate dual-threat under second-year coach Scott Satterfield.<\/p>\n
He threw for 2,061 yards while completing 62.4 percent of his passes. He finished with a 22-to-5 touchdown-to-interception ratio and set a school record with his 194.8 efficiency rating.<\/p>\n
You can look at how much he grew throughout the whole season last year, and by the end of the year, how much better his confidence level was about what we were trying to do,” Satterfield said prior to the Cardinals 35-21 season-opening win over Western Kentucky.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Cunningham threw for a career-high 343 yards and three scores in that victory. After that game, Cunningham saw his Heisman odds shorten significantly across the sportsbooks. His best value right now is 40-1 at DraftKings. But another strong showing Saturday may see those drop, too.<\/p>\n
