    I like where we sit at QB next year. Morris did very well as a RS freshman qb. If Huard beats him out, that's a really good sign

    Slightly better QBR in Pac Games for Redshirt Frosh Morris (135.6) in 4 Conference Games vs True Freshman Browning (132.56) in 9 Conference Games. Not much to glean from this I suppose, but Morris seems to be less of a pants shitter and you gotta like no sacks stat.

    D-MO isn't good. Weird delivery. Ball placement on intermediate routes is off too much. Deep ball sucks. He's a very average college QB.

    Watch Garbers win out this Spring...think he has the most upside until Huard gets his feet wet.

    Hard to say with Morris having faced zero road games (and even if he had they wouldn't have been true road games).

    NFL data shows road offense scoring is way up this year since they don't have to worry about not being able to hear the snap count. This keeps the pass rush at bay and sets off a whole chain reaction. There's no reason to think this doesn't apply to college as well.

    All the other QBs this year had the same advantages as Morris and he still did better than them so I'm not saying he's not good. Comp him to other 2020 Pac QB's all day. But a comp to 2015 Browning is pretty meaningless.

    Hopefully we'll get to see a real season next year. I'm skeptical though.

    Morris is fine but I would not consider him good. But he has a good pocket presence. And does not shit the bed. Our pass protection this year was very good. Kudos to huff for complaining about the scheme and then actually coaching a unit that performed well when he got to do something about it.

    Good post. Look, I've been among to most vocal here in saying the 2020 season is a worthless as tits on a boar. But now that TSIO I supposed we have to have, at least, some stats are for losers hawt talk.

    Re: 2021 I don't see how we don't have a full or close to full slate. Enough financial devastation has occurred. Even the Pac will figure it out.
