Twitter LOVED Jarrett Stidham on Sunday

Jarrett Stidham showed he was worthy of the start in the Las Vegas Raiders' 37-34 loss to the San Fransisco 49ers.

The former Auburn Tigers went 23 for 34 passing for 365 yards through the air and three touchdowns. He also threw two picks and added 34 yards on the ground against one of the best defenses in the NFL.

Stidham got the start for the Raiders after Derek Carr was benched for the final two games of the season. After Stidham was traded from the New England Patriots to the Raiders in the offseason, he was the next man up.

On Twitter, many folks, both in Auburn and NFL circles loved seeing what he was able to do on Sunday.

Jarrett Stidham moment: He was in the CMJN office waiting to talk to a prof. I came in with a couple dozen Krispy Kremes. Front desk admin asked me what the donuts were for.
ME: "I'm bringing them to class today."
JARRETT: "Hey, sign me up for that class."
