Pretty good overview of a dangerous OSU team.

This game is horrifying. I was VERY optimistic about Arizona. I predicted 34-10.

Kansas is better than their record is showing. Out of their 5 losses they’ve had

Very happy that we get them at home this year.

I think West Virginia isn’t that bad either, all three losses are to undefeated teams

We'll see how many losses they have when we play them

Kansas is a revenge game... like most B12 games from last year.

My favorite part is that despite being 2-1, KSU has a negative point diff.

BYU only had a single sack against Arizona, but not because the defense didn't bring pressure. Fifita and his receivers

Fifita does that Every week. He is quick.

PJMort

So impressed with his ability to deliver the ball while going down or taking a hit. Dude was a warrior.

He had a 20 yard drop back half the time. It eliminates sacks but it's not a

Some QBs almost refuse to take sacks, but it costs them in other ways.

He was dropping deep to avoid the pressure, completing 20 yard passes to gain 6 yards…he was pressured on 50% of his

Fifita had an abnormally long drop back.

The OL and RBs did a great job picking up the blitzes.

The fact we are impressed with Fifita despite his multiple turnovers...

Another QB with that pressure would have had 6-7 sacks.

8:42am

So is it the transfer portal this spring or are they all in on Wilson at qb?

jxncoog All-American

8:42am

I think it more depends on what Wilson wants to do. If he wants to stay at the U, they will be all in on him.

I don't think he will have more appealing options.

Madam Pattirini

Team Chaos

8:50am

I think it is just as likely that this means Wilson told them he might transfer.

scall

8:55am

But why?

Plato

9:14am

Because of how this year has been mishandled- The constant Cam will play, Cam takes the 1st team reps in practice, and

scall

9:19am

They need to shore up their QB room if Wilson is the best they have right now.

Corn Pop

8:46am

I assume Sam Huard will want to compete for the job.

kccougar

8:48am

He is listed as a Sr. Is he redshirting this year?

astroman

I believe so. He's the scout team QB.

I saw a lot of Ute fans beating their chests about Huard

Huge Manatee

he is a career backup, his numbers at Cal Poly were pedestrian at best

JOPE

of course they will try to bring in more QB talent from the portal and

They’re all in on Wilson. They have a 5* QB sitting on the bench they won’t even give a single rep to.
