Yeah, bitch!

Not a lot of freshmen QBs to choose from I take it

MikeMonan

Gaskin is playing lights out! And when healthy Browning is doing good.

Browning will be a great QB here. As I've been saying for months. Everything I've seen indicates that.

I don't like these lists because 'best true freshman' just depends on who plays as a true freshman. Benning Potoa'e could be one of the best true freshmen and no one would know. Get off my lawn!!

Anyway, Utah is a game that we should win. I've been impressed with Gaskin, but Browning has shit the bed any time he's had to perform in a pressure situation (you mean like the one slant he threw at USC?!?!?).

Myles Gaskin will never win the Heisman here (and a RB may never win the Heisman again any time soon), but he's a guy that looks capable of getting 1,500 yards if we ran it to him a little bit.

Only if Jonathan Smith would realize that.

Utah has a great front 7. ( I heard it on TV so it must be true) I would agree that Browning has a chance to silence the doubters by not shitting his pants Saturday.

i'm not sure the style of how Utah plays on D, but with the way Browning plays vs the blitz should serve well vs ASU.

What, no Trey Adams or BBK?

Browning has an adjusted QBR of 59. Matt Barkley as a true freshman was 60 while Jared Goff was at 54. If the OL keeps improving Browning will be a very good QB. Next few games are challenges though.

The other thing to note here is this is an overall list...not just top freshman qb's.

Goff was 1-11 and has lost to every decent team Cal has played this year as a 3rd year starter.

Fuck the stats and win the fucking games

It's always fun to compare the Freshman All -American list with the *real All -American list four years later... sorta like scanning MLB rosters for non-existent LL World Series champions

If ProFootballFocus has a college page just how focused on Pro Football could they possibly be?

Somewhere in between @GrandpaSankey and Colin Kaepernick?

I know your'e being sarkastic, but Marvin Hall is our QB.

RaceBannon

You know who had shitty stats?

Billy Joe Fucking Hobart, that's who

Should've given that Camaro to the defense.

If Browning is fairly close to the statistical jump Goff & Barkley had in their 2nd year then UW will very likely win the north.

Shouldn't we wait for the offseason to win the offseason natty?

I mean, yeah, I get it, the season is over but there is a lot of practice left.
