Hunt seems completely 'unprotected' by the play calling and the depth of the playbook.  I'm guessing that if he'd started the season, he'd have been brought along more slowly - with easier early throws that would have built his confidence - with a slow expansion into a wider playbook.  This is exactly what Marrone did with Nassib until he really owned it all in his Sr. year.

I think how this season has unfolded has put Hunt into an unenviable situation.  Everyone thought he was the 2nd coming after beating up Wagner and Tulane - and so we went into Clemson thinking the kid could own the whole playbook.  It was fools gold, but in some ways we had nothing to lose by trying, except it might have hurt Hunt's progression as a QB.  They did not seem to dial in back vs. NCSt. until the 2nd half.  Some of the throws he was being asked to make were optimistic at best in the 1st half.

Hopefully we've learned our lesson, and now reduce the offense to match his skill set and build everything around the run game - at least for now.  Give him a game plan he can be successful with and then build from there.
