His deep balls have gone from high floating 50/50 balls to throwing with purpose to the spot where only our guys can catch them. He has done a great job. Props to Arod and Jake.

Retzlaff NCAA rankings...

Adrielle Board Misanthrope

I think he is better than Hoover and Fifita

I think Retzlaff is great, but our receivers are also pretty amazing.

MrRoboto

9:53am

The OL has been as well

cougaman

IMO the place he needs to improve the most on is his completion percentage. He is at 59.6%...

Adrielle

9:56am

ARod specifically mentioned that they are coaching him to throw it away

AllHailTheOverlord

I'll take a throw away over an interception if that is what it comes down to.

TheLoneCougar

3% seems low, unless you’re concluding 3% worse than average

coug92

11:09am

I'm just thinking it's about 3% as I don't consider every ball that a receiver touches catchable

Adrielle

11:21am

But that concludes only 1 out of roughly 30 passes has been a true drop.

11:31am

Yeah...I'm not sure TBH...This is probably going to be somewhat subjective...

Adrielle

Fifita is the best overall QB in the big12 IMO

davidmj10

12:30pm

I think it's Sanders

Adrielle

12:36pm

Actually I would agree with that. I just ignore him because

Fafita and Johnson are IMO the two best QBs we played this year.

Adrielle

2:29pm

He’s been awful this year. Maybe it’s his OL and new coaches, but his numbers

Odysseus

His OL gives him no time. Watch him move in the pocket though he is so good.

I am not sure, though he and Jake have traded situations (good line and running

I'm excited to see what he can do his senior year..he started off slow this year

MaximusMeridius

Couldn't agree more. I hope his upward progression continues.

TheRefsStink

We never doubted him for a second

YOHONOMOTO

9:51am

Just like we never doubted Etienne

Or KS

The offensive line coaching and execution is bigger for his improvement than...

He's also 28th in Total Offense, at 272 yds/game

Japan Coug

10:05am

I think this is a better metric due to his running ability which is underrated.

MHallDidNothingWr0ng

10:12am

And he's #21 in Total Points Responsible For per game (passing + rushing TDs)

Japan Coug

10:59am

Love to see the #'s and improvement-Jake is a DAWG also, which counts for a lot!

ElkhunterUT

10:47am

He has a knack of getting first downs with his legs when there isn’t a lot of

Retzlaff PER in 2023 = 97, in 2024 = 147

VB2

12:41pm

Just the norm per ARod. Haha, yeah, I would say it has been accelerated

SoBlueitHurts

3:37pm

The improvement from game to game is actually the most impressive thing

stansburycoug

1:13pm

I’m seeing Fifita as 12th in the Big 12 in pass efficiency…

Odysseus

2:36pm

Based on eye test only, I would rank top 5 BIG XII QBs as of now as follows

ElkhunterUT

2:44pm

I haven’t seen Hoover or Sorsby, but their numbers are top 5 worthy

Odysseus

3:01pm

Sorsby has been good and arguably up there also, not so sure on Hoover but I

ElkhunterUT

3:17pm

Johnson is so up and down. Against us I thought he should just be a running back

SoBlueitHurts

3:39pm

One word - blocking, makes or breaks a QB.
