A 40 yard bomb to a target at full speed is a tiny bit harder than it looks

I'll bet only half of Cougarboard could do it. Recievers are expected to have to adjust to deep passes, even in the NFL. That throw was good enough

Jake leads Marion by 2 feet instead of having to slow down

Marion catches the ball that hits him in chest may have been a TD too.

That ball was knocked down by the DB

It wasn't, it looked like it though

Made much harder to catch by DB. Needed a better throw there for sure

DB wasn't close to the ball

I’m not sure you have eyes if you think that the DB wasn’t close to the ball.

I think he was thrown off because it looked like for a second that the defender

point is, if he leads Marion properly, it's a sure six

Blaming Marion for it is silly.

Agreed. I thought the defender knocked it away at the last second. Either way

I love when people say CBers couldn’t do it so we can’t expect it of a college level athlete.

If the average college QB could hit guys perfectly in stride 40+ yards down

Didn’t need to be perfectly in stride. Just not as behind as it was. And Jake has missed too many downfield passes this

No way half of CB makes that throw better than Jake did. It was not perfect

Are there any quarterbacks at any level who are 100% accurate on those kinds of

SoCalCoug

No, which is precisely why the likes of Payton Manning have preached for years that the QB’s job is to get the ball in

Saying it’s 100% on Marion is just silly. We can’t absolve Jake of all responsibility. Make a better throw.

It was not a great throw but it was placed where a play could be made on it. When a ball bounces off of your chest, then

Zach Morris

12/30/24 12:55pm

If it wasn’t a good throw than it can’t be 100% on Marion. Should he still have caught it, probably, but a better throw

spugeddy24

He has been pretty inaccurate all year throwing down field. He hit a couple guys
