I don't think we know how far the QB can throw. 55 yards to me is

probably within his maximum range. But I don't know. He threw it 45 yards as is without being able to fully stride into it. IMO our DB underestimated the situation for just a moment and it COULD have resulted in a play on the ball.

We dodged a bullet on the last play in the SMU game...

Jennings wasn't much of a passing threat

he was really so laughably bad. It was embarrassing we almost lost to him.

Exactly, Stone was supposed to be the passer.Jennings made them 1 dimensional.

We should acknowledge his vision was still blurred from that man-slap he took from Batty

Nah. I’m sure the coaches who are professionals with years of experience identifying things like that, have no idea

Of course, I agree with you that the coaches will notice this and should be

7-10 yards? This is verifiably false.

I was there and saw it in person. If there is video that proves this false

I was there too. Just go watch the replay on ESPN+

The replay shows more or less what you describe, but it wasn't 7-10 yards and

It would have taken a great throw. The replay looks more like 3-4 yards. What

The LB fell down, so the safety rushed up to cover that then open man.

I just watched the replay and it wasn't that bad

I guess you can't capture a screenshot from YTTV - everything I'm taking is just a black screen

What I can't see in the replay I watched is the point where Evan hesitates for

It looked like we were playing 2 safeties high over the top. Glasker fell down

The point is the receiver had separation from the DB. At any point the QB could

Maybe. But with that QB, it was pretty clear IMO that he would struggle

sportsgeek82

Sep 9, 9:18am

Sure. And I was in awe of the defense the entire game. Just saying

texaskevin

There was some separation, but the SMU QB was running against his throwing motio

Do you realize what kind of a throw that would have taken?

Corn Pop

Sep 9, 9:29am

It would have taken a great throw for sure - the QB was no Zach Wilson...

texaskevin

Sep 9, 9:37am

Another 6-7 yards and Evan picks it.

rad dawg

Sep 9, 9:40am

Maybe. With my blue glasses on he does for sure. But maybe not

texaskevin

Sep 9, 9:42am

Evan would have also been running harder. He let up once he saw nobody was

Corn Pop

Sep 9, 9:52am

I don't think we "dodged a bullet" but I can understand you point. The counter point I would make is that the SMU QB had

TheLoneCougar

Sep 9, 9:49am

The QB had time, but not quite enough, to turn his shoulders parallel

texaskevin

Sep 9, 9:57am

I remember thinking good thing Mahomes isn't their QB. Maybe Lamar makes that

jvquarterback

It appears to me that Mangleson tipped that pass which caused it to fall short.

Sep 9, 10:11am

After rewatching the clip... maybe it wasn't tipped?

WhyaskY?

Sep 9, 10:12am

Throwing back across the body is going to result is short passes a vast majority of the time.

TheLoneCougar

Sep 9, 10:27am

the WR was out of the QB's range. This is why Wilson was #2 pick. He could make

At the time Jennings saw his receiver and decided he was going to try to heave

Exactly what I'm saying in this post

Sep 9, 10:55am

This can't be true because I've been told our defense was an A+ last week

byujacob

It looked to me like Johnson folded on the coverage once he saw the bad pass

Plenty of those dangerous plays. The two BYU shoestring tackles were fortunate,

Forzaitalia

Yep. Saw the same on TV... could have been a horrible loss

You are right. Fortunately the pressure had forced the QB into a lousy footing.
