Kellen Lewis never thought he'd put up such big numbers so soon. Coming into the season, the freshman quarterback was not even expecting to play. "When I came here, Blake was only a redshirt sophomore," Lewis said, referring to junior quarterback Blake Powers. "I envisioned having to wait in line and maybe junior year come in and take control of the offense. But eight touchdown passes in two home games? I definitely wasn't expecting that."
