Dual-Threat Gamecock QB Who Led JSU’s 2011 Surge
In the 2011 season, Coty Blanchard was a high-efficiency, dual-threat quarterback for Jacksonville State, throwing for 1,703 yards and 12 touchdowns with just five interceptions while adding 427 rushing yards and six scores; he also led the OVC in passing efficiency at 145.1.[3] What makes him compelling isn’t just the box score — he was a steady, competitive playmaker who could hurt defenses both through the air and on the ground, and JSU leaned on him in big moments, including conference-title runs.[3][12]
