    I always felt like Stanback could’ve been otherworldly with the right coaching. He almost beat USC down there on a last minute drive and then some ref fuckery at the end put that shit to bed. I think that was the same game where Carroll did some faggy trick play where he hid a guy along the sideline.

    Curtis Shaw
    Kenny James
    Ariel ngata
    Jake Locker
    Asa Turner (pending)
    Antonio Cooks

    And so many more.

    Ariel Ngata was another guy that after the 2021 UW @ Utah game "looked amazing" to the @Tequilla @CokeGreaterThanPepsi and @Dennis_DeYoung podcast.

    To be fair, UW D played just okay and still won comfortably.

    Ty trying to take control of the situation hurt there too. I didn't blame him for being pissed. There was a moment in my memory, though, where it appeared Stanback was in position to take the snap. Ty was coming in the field and everyone paused, then the clock started and it was over.

    Edit... I also agree Stanback is a good choice. I thought he had almost unlimited ability. His arm was freakish, he was big, and had 4.3 speed. The right staff could've made a QB out of him. Instead he had two historically bad coaching staffs to work with.

    The Stanback USC game was that one year where they started the clock on a change of possession before the snap. It was retarded

    And against all odds cleaner of progrums and master of compartment Tyrone Willingham did not have his team prepared for the new rules. Who would have thunk?
