    Which is a fair point as well. I don't expect Williams is he's named the starter at some point to light the world on fire. However if you let him work through some of the struggles this year may he end up being a better QB next year? I definitely feel he should be the starter going forward beyond this year.
    I wouldn't call Kelly a noodle arm, he strategically uses his legs every once in a while to keep the defense honest.
    From what I saw of him last year he was devastating at times on the back shoulder throws working with Strong

    I agree with the final prognosis.
    I think ASU is better than us, however at home with the backs up against our wall, with the possibility of a rusty Kelly and rain in the forecast, I think this sets up as a game win can win.
    I'd go 27-24 personally

    I'm not buying the argument that Sark leaving had anything to do with him realizing what little talent he had accumulated on his roster. He was gone the day he signed his contract here if USC ever came after him. I'm sure it made his decision all the easier and if by some chance that was a deciding factor its really a blessing in disguise that he is a shitty recruiter because while we have to endure with his recruiting blunders for a few seasons it still puts us lightyears ahead of still being saddled with him.

    It will be interesting to track the guys who flipped to USC after Sark took the job there and see how they shake out in a few seasons. Not the 5*s who were already going there, but the shitstains he had coming to UW to specifically play for him and followed him south. With all his recruiting mistakes the fans there are going to be waxing nostalgic for the days when sanctions were their only problem.

    the offensive line is giving him time to throw, so that can't be used as an excuse for miles. Can you name one game this season miles has truly looked impressive, possibly Illinois I guess. Against cal 90 of his yards came on a dump off to ross and Cal is one of the worst defenses in the country. I agree he isn't getting much help from the running game, but I'd like to see us go in a different direction

    I did forget to mention that Miles has created his own pressure by not standing in the pocket and scrambling before he needed too. He does not throw with anticipation which he must learn to do as he progresses.

    Agree spoonie. Sark was gone no matter what. He had been waiting forUSC the whole time. We had discussed it before that there was nothing roster wise that gave him pause about leaving. Sark had always talked early about building something special and all that nonsense. He knew he didnt have Sankey and would have to break in a new QB. The timing of the USC job was perfect but he was likely crapping himself after UCLA. Oregon state probably impressed Haden enough.

    His presence in the pocket is diefinitely his biggest issue
