This Is Why Oregon QB Tyler Shough Is Heading To Texas Tech

Shuck put himself in that position. It's pretty simple. After Oregon State and Cal (and a few head scratching picks before those games), the issue was there: his confidence was lost. He didn't lose his confidence because they brought in Brown. He lost it because he put the ball on the ground and threw picks in each case at very critical moments. He fucked his own confidence up, and then the coaches did what they had to do, which of course did his confidence no favors.

I guarantee that one of the several red zone TDs that Brown delivered get fucked up if you leave Shuck in there, or at minimum are field goals.

You have to have brass balls to play QB; IDGAF what anyone says. Mentally fragile people need to play another position.

I’ve been saying something similar for a while. After that second interception against Oregon State the good qualities Shough had were significantly diminished while the bad ones became more obvious.

Shough could have easily won that game or the Cal game multiple times just by making the routine play and not fucking up. He needed one first down to end the game against Beav and he panicked on 2nd and 3rd down. On 3rd down he had a blown coverage, wide open Jaylon Redd running down outside the left hash calling for the ball, that’s an easy first down and game over. It would have most likely been a TD. Instead - he went right and threw at Johnson’s feet for a pass that wouldn’t have been a first down.

I don’t expect every QB to look as cool as Joe Camel. Too often Shough looked uncomfortable and panicky, like someone gave him a priceless Faberge egg, he dropped it, and is waiting to see if it broke. Maybe TTech can salvage him, if so then good for him. In any case, good for Oregon. If he succeeds I claim him as a product of Oregon’s development, if he fails he’s an example of Oregon making the difficult but correct choice to move on.

Excellent analysis by creepycoug and RatherBeBrewing. I can’t add or dispute what either said. He has a great arm, but something upstairs is off. I wish him the best.
