Love me some ZTF, but not sure he’s done as much as Kikaha yet. He’s going to need some time to put more stuff on tape...against better competition. I’m not sure his measureables are great. Happy to be wrong.

TL;DR - he needs a full year

What better competition? Pac 12 games are the competition and he’s dominating.

SC, Oregon, UCLA... NY6 game. Higher profile and/or better competition.

Tryon is different only because his measureables. Looks huge and ripped.

On Bowman, remember this year doesn’t count on eligibility. We could have him Savvy ZTF Latu on the Edge next year. Think about that for a minute.

I forgot about this...you guys think Morris starts?

I do. Older and more experienced than Huard. It’s going to be tough for anyone to beat Morris out.

huard might need a year to put on some weight, but i would expect him to be ready compete by his RS Frosh year

Huard will probably will not have thrown a pass in live competition with pads on in almost two years when he steps foot on campus. He will redshirt.

 

[1to392831weretaken]

Disagree but it’s not his fault. It’s a depth problem. And when was the last tim he had to face some physically challenging.

Ps, Trice must be pretty bad.

Speaking of pretty bad, whatever happened to Draco Malfoy or whatever? Kid was a 4 star and I don't think he has even taken a snap. Not even with all the guys out last night.

Should have read ahead. Never mind.

Holy shit. I just realized he'll only have three years of high school under his belt. Will totally break five reasons!

Kikaha didn't have great measurables either. He was still a better player at the end than ZTF is now. He was really good at setting and holding the edge and effective dropping into coverage. Its going to take another year for ZTF to get to that level all around. He might already be a better pass rusher though, and that's no small thing.

Kinshasa was an awesome pass rusher in college. He had a line with a great push up the middle his last year and feasted.

Ztf may not be as good as kikaha yet but if he can get a 2nd round grade I am not sure he is ever getting a better time to leave. He is never going to have great speed or bend compared to the freaks that typically go in the top 30.

Unless Morris starts hitting the deep ball with some regularity Huard is going to lap him rather easily.

Doubt it. Time to learn our lessons and quit thinking the highly touted recruit comes in and plays right away.

Morris will know the offense better, have more experience, and be better at leading the guys.

I’m not going to call Sam Huard overrated but he throws 50+ times every game and his WR’s are all going Pac 12. Garbers threw for a million yards and a bunch of TD’s for a great high school program in a tough league and doesn’t start. Most QB’s are busts and don’t play.

I can also admit that we need to LIPO with Morris, but he’s shown enough that I have a hard time believing a true freshman will be better.

His deep game is epically bad so far. Also, that Utah secondary was starting two freshmen corners and he didn't look like he belonged on the field for much of the game. Winners win though. I will say LIPO but he should definitely face competition the next couple of years.

There is a lot to play out. Watching how Morris does the rest of the way being the main thing.

The play calling was bad yesterday. Morris stepped up and needs to continue to improve. I’ve seen enough positive that I think he’s a pretty good QB that’s just getting started.

Yeah, Morris alternates between horrible and totally clutch. If he could break off 20 yard runs and clown a defense with his athleticism, that would be one thing. But Morris is not that guy.

Utah's QB often looked better suited to P5 play. That said, Morris throws some big time lazers and you can win with him.

Ideally, he would be eclipsed but probably not by a true frosh.

little concerned with his deepballz, but at least he does not shit his pants on 3rd downs. also did not seem nervous yesterday on that 4 min drill

Maybe. We won't know until he's here how well and how fast he can process. Quick decision-making, timing, and pocket awareness are all x-factors that are hard to gauge in high school and the lack thereof has led to scattered carcasses of 5 star QB busts everywhere. They're also things that Morris has done exceptionally well so far and will continue to improve at.

If Huard can clear that bar then he runs away with the job. Only a handful of QBs have his arm talent, and Morris is not even close to being one of them.

 

[BaldwinIV]

can huard run? is he mobile?

 

[DoogCourics]

The defense was far better with Smalls at edge than Bronson. Low bar I know but I think he's pretty good.

Second half defensive lock down came with major changes to the rotation.

 

[RoadDawg55]

Tupatala had 3 snaps. He was in the whole series for Ulo and I was pissed about it.

He won’t run for a ton of yards, but he’s a really good athlete. He throws a great ball and is well trained, but he’s going to have a hard time coming in and starting especially if Morris continues to win.

He made on a nice run fit on the touchdown but Jackson Sirmon got prison loved by their guard or tackle which allowed him to score.
