Overall, Busha's completed 36.7 percent of his passes for 415 yards this season while adding 172 rushing yards on 78 carries. It remains to be seen who'll be under center when the Falcons take on Army following a bye week.

Impact Taking over as the starter for the 2024 season, Busha was able to do enough to lead the Falcons to a season-opening victory.

The junior completed 9-of-19 passes for 152 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in a backup role last season. He added 11 rushing yards with one touchdown.
