Ponder's Day of Reckoning

[Alo]

This game against Miami will determine whether Ponder is a fringe first round guy or an underwhelming mid-round pick.

I'll try to provide updates throughout the game, as well as the USC-Stanford matchup. I hope some of you will chime in as well.

What if he has indigestion or something, or his roommate farted all night long - keeping him up, depriving him of sleep

Are you drunk, Crow? Or are you entering a new stage of your comedic brilliance?

[Crow]

Believe it or not I don't drunk, nor does that post seem anything out of the norm for me tbh

Keep up the good worK, Krow.

Luck had a weird play where he held onto the ball too long, then tried to throw just as he was about to killed, resulting in a lost fumble. Other than that, he's looked pretty good.

Ponder's been very efficient, hitting underneath throws that have yielded a lot YAC. Their running game's working really well, which could carry them to victory.

[Crow]

How much could that one play affect his draft stock - and is it important he wins the game? Or only in terms of hype.

[Alo]

Guess it depends on whether it becomes a trend. He's struggled a bit with his decisionmaking in the red zone, where I believe that play occurred.

[Alo]

Stanford's RB fumbled, and Luck responded by delivering a TJ Ward-like hit on USC's Shareece Wright, resulting in another fumble (recovered by USC).

That was cool.

[JewDago]

locker's hit was outstanding. he's also run very well, once on a designed option, then again when the protection broke down.

[JewDago]

another nice run from luck when no one was open - he took advantage of the defense playing too deep and scrambled up the middle for about fifteen yards, then slid to avoid the big hit.

if stanford loses this game, it won't be on him, barring a completely boneheaded fourth quarter. the defense has been awful today; they haven't tackled anyone in any way, shape, or form. it looks like the browns are out there.

[Alo]

The TD play was great too, scrambling to create more time while scanning the field for targets.

[Alo]

I missed it, but apparently Ponder threw an ugly pick into triple coverage.
