College QB Watch

Foles isn't very mobile, but he has a rocket arm and what appears to be improved accuracy. If he cuts down on the bad decisions that plagued him last year, he could be a future 1st round pick.

I'm game.

This could have been huge.

Locker overthrows screen pass. #AccuracyFail

...but Jake atones with a 9 yard TD run.

A lot of designed runs for Locker: not the best thing if you want to 1) see him sling it, 2) manage to stay healthy.

Locker had several inaccurate throws in the game, completing only 54.1% of his passes. If you're concerned about his accuracy, this game won't make you feel any better.

Shit. I didn't even know Locker was on tonight and I went out and just got back.

I didn't even know we had this area. I think we might have too many areas.

Locker didn't have a dominant game. When does Stanford play? Right now, Ponder's the guy who was fantastic, although against Joe's Corner University.

Luck was 17 of 23 for 300-plus yards and 4 TDs. He was fantastic.

Sorry Shep. I didn't realize you were unaware there was a forum for college football
discussion. I apologize for assuming you knew.

No worries. My bad.

Mallett had a terrific first outing (22 of 24, bajillion yards, etc.). I think the QB position will be insanely deep... and I also think Locker will be closer to the pack than expected. In fact, Luck may end up the clear gold standard, if he chooses to come out.

Foles is a quirky dude. Long-haired surfer guy, they're always saying he has a gun but a questionable commitment to the game. Now "Sunshine" may have shaken off the fog... could be interesting.

Did Keenum play yet?

Ponder's my adopt-a-prospect for now. Should doom him pretty soon, like Canfield (!).

Keenum had 5 td's in the first three Qtrs....then sat!
