    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.

    Only if Jonathan Smith would realize that.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

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

    I don't think many on this board realize how close we are to turning the corner ...

    I've been saying for months that I could see this team winning the North and Conference next year ... it's not a massive stretch. There are so many parallels to what I saw with TCU ... biggest difference is that UW may be a bit further ahead in the QB department. Going into last year, Boykin wasn't even supposed to be in the running for QB at TCU.

    The way this Season has played out anyone but OS could win the Pac 12 N next Season.

    Haven't watched too many games this year, eh? I suggest cal, boise state and oregon.
