#6, but includes 2 in the top 5 that have played 3 games.Is angeli leading all p4 teams in passing yards has to be top 5
Some of that may be because he held onto the ball too long or failed to identify the blitzer pre-snap. Things McCord was very good at doing.Angeli has already been smoked by blitzers with a free run more times than McCord was all last season.
He’s on start number 2 I think the kid bought himself some time after that comeback. Also we always are saying the best player on the team is the backup. Something I have learned is that we are always wrong and the coaches that see these players daily are always right. Fran is going to ride with the player that won the competition, put up a bunch of points on Tennessee and lead a comeback vs UConn.Stats only tell one side of the story. There were too many snaps where Steve looked confused and scared to throw. He is partly responsible for some of those missed protection calls. We won’t win games of significance if he only plays 1 good quarter.
This worked out in the end, but if we are going to beat some of those playoff teams we will soon face, Fran might need to keep his loyalty to his personal and not professional life.
Agreed. He seemed off after that initial big hit. To his credit, he shook it off, but I don't ing discount that it impacted his performance.Guy got rocked 4 times and that was just the clean hits. The first one seemed to shake him up and he seemed more off after that one. Let’s not discount that he might have been shaken up after the first big hit and took awhile to settle back down.
And I’m not implying he was concussed and the staff threw him in to play anyway. Anyone that’s played football or any other sport where you get absolutely leveled, know how that can mess up your body for awhile where it’s just “off”.
do we even know he is making the calls.. Some teams have centers some have QBs, Some have RBsStats only tell one side of the story.

I was not necessarily meaning what happened on Saturday, but the general comment that he made in response to a question about making a change, and I think he meant at any time, he puts loyalty first. So I was thinking that is not always the best decision, and if he needs to make another one at some time, he does not let just loyalty get in the way.I hear you, but I think the important part is what you started with. It did work out.
Personally I'd wanted Collins to come in too. But that 2 minute drill at the end of the game, watching Steve march down the field I knew we were going to get the TD and felt bad doubting him and HCFB. No guarantee that would've happened with a swap.
I didn't want Collins to come into the UConn game, but I do want him to play the 4th quarter (or more) Friday vs Colgate, assuming we have a 4 TD lead by then.Personally I'd wanted Collins to come in too.

I believe this to be the case.It’s entirely possible that Collins is not even close to Angeli at this point in his development.
I know we were told it was close in camp.
But Coach Truth is not necessarily in the same area code with Truth.
that comes with glimpses of success. Pair that with fact that these guys are paid some pretty good money now and you are making yourself a target for criticism and high expectations.This is a tough crowd.
I get that, but it seems a lot of people expect perfection at all times, which is lunacy. There is another team on the other side of the field that are doing their best to win too. Objectively, the team should be judged by the entire game and season, not on individual plays and possessions.that comes with glimpses of success.

I'm not sold on Angeli yet but it's early and he has time to improve.
I view it slightly differently, the offensive line was struggling which was causing Steve to rush throws and put the ball into dangerous spots. On the bench you have a QB who is better suited to escape the pocket and make plays with his feet which one would think could've added a spark to an anemic offense. Its not that steve loses his job forever but if you dont have it that day, you dont have it. Dungey came back after the benching against UNC and had a stellar rest of the year. Its a team sport with 105 scholarships, and every player could provide a boost if the circumstances are just right.Benching a QB midway through the 3rd quarter might appease the fans but be the worst thing for the player and the team.
How do you know he is better suited, because you read it here, Brent axe told you? I'm going to assume the coaches who are around these players know better. Also there is more to it then just trotting the next guy up. the receivers have been working with Steve now so timing will be off...I view it slightly differently, the offensive line was struggling which was causing Steve to rush throws and put the ball into dangerous spots.
