Finally watched the highlights from the Tech game. Holy mother of god remember when all you Duck losers were saying Shough was better than Mariota and Herbert combined. Guy looked like a 25 point swing with catastrophic terrible plays he made.
To be fair, Herbert was playing with an arm tied behind his back with Arroyo.
To be even more fair, Herbert made mistakes and wasn't the all-world QB he has developed into as a pro. Mariota was 10X the college QB that Herbert was. It's entirely plausible that a group of nutty fans would be pumping up Shuck while Herbert was still in the fold. Mariota? No.
The poetry in all this is that Shuck lost the game in EXACTLY the way he lost and was going to continue losing games as Oregon's QB. He broke mentally and never recovered. When that happened to him against the Ducks, I almost felt sorry for him. He's going to need a life-tim of therapy to get over that one. Kid is big, has a good arm, decently mobile, tough, etc., but has a glass brain. That's why he was going to ride pine at Oregon, and he knew it. Tech has him now, and I'm sure they understand perfectly why Oregon let him go w/o a fight.
Imagine not being able to beat out Anthony what's his name?
