Angeli has arrived

We won't learn anything from a 4th quarter Collins cameo in a blowout.

We will learn something if Angeli doesn't blow the doors off Colgate. If it's within 14 points at halftime we have a serious problem.
If it’s within 14 points at halftime I’ll make your next car payment.
 

I'm just going to leave this here

Before someone asks:

What is a big-time throw?​

Throws graded at the higher end of PFF's scale (+1.0, +1.5, and +2.0) are categorized as big-time throws.

A big-time throw is a high-difficulty, high-value pass. They are characterized by excellent ball placement and timing, typically on deeper passes or into tight windows.

These throws can also occur under challenging conditions, such as when a quarterback is under heavy pressure but converts a potential negative into a positive play. Other examples include tight-window throws in the red zone, where space is limited, or perfectly placed 50-yard shots down the field.
 
He leaned back and threw off back ft which created high throws. thought i counted 6 of them.

My superficial take is that some of the bad throws were just on busted plays and on others, he got lazy with his footwork (and doesnt have the arm strength to overcome that). The laziness thing would get to Board Messiah Eric Dungey too, just less frequently.

I thought his best throw of the night was the scramble/roll out dart he threw to Russell in the fourth quarter, immediately before the terrible pick he threw to the other side of the field.

I'd like to see Nixon get a little more creative with option/play action and get Angeli moving more, both on planned throws and with some short scrambles just to make positive plays.

Right now, I see him as a moderate floor/low ceiling guy. He's not going to carry the team, but when he's playing well, he's definitely competitive enough to win games.
 
The Tennessee 1st quarter and most of the UConn game have been questionable coaching from Nixon/Brown. I hated our lack of tempo against Tennessee. If we were trying to speed up the game by using clock, that utterly failed in a 4 hour game. We seemed like we were unscripted— deciding what to do on the fly. Tennessee was scripted— they had set plays for drive 1 and ran them. And then settled for a FG. Which is what the better team is supposed to do. Later, we seemed to settle in offensively. Quicker play calls. More effective.

Against UConn… it felt like we were playing Ohio State. Going for it on 4th down like we were never going to win with FGs. Tennessee took points against us. Terrible message to defense and kicker. You can win 3-0. Get the lead. Terrible call on 4 th and 2. The second series, we had a great call… and the WR failed to turn up field. Set up another 4th down…Needed to kick FG again there and took points off the board. Afterwards, everything seemed backwards, runs with Nixon, pass plays to Willis. We won, but it took the defense playing well.

Brown cannot keep taking points off the board. I think he was going for style points against UConn. And it almost backfired. The only stat that matters is wins. Beating any team with FGs is better than losing.

I will say that Angeli with 700 yards passing does not look bad when it comes to the next transfer QB. Needs to take better care of the ball. We pass too much to not have INTs… we need to limit sacks/fumbles. Team effort, but he needs to do better also.

That's interesting. I was always under the impression a Big Time throw was in the backyard, age 7, using an ITZA ball, 3 v3 game on the line for the final 3 juice boxes and as your buddy drops back saying " Bob Griese back to pass" he throws an ITZA ball lazer for the game winner who one hand stabs it down the treeline past the two socks used as the end zone.

not going to carry the team?! He just carried the team to a historic come from behind victory over a decent team.

Over an elite team you might be correct but after what he did this week and in the NC playoffs last year I'm not betting against him.
