Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 4745610, member: 8240"] After watching last night's Colorado/Colorado St. game it's pretty clear the right thing to do is play the best QB, regardless of age, years in college or size. More on their RS Freshman later. TR, ZT and JF all have shown shortcomings and TM may have some too, but if he shows in practice he has the arm strength, accuracy and ability to see the field and find open receivers he should play. ZT showed last year he wasn't accurate, often late with his throws and surprisingly slow for a highly touted athlete. JF didn't seem to be the improvement we were led to believe he would be, and TR has shown in 6 quarters that he's often off target, often so late getting the ball out that receivers that were open are now covered.......or is it just that our WR's and TE's don't run good routes, don't have the speed to get open, or our plays so predictable? The CSU QB is 6'1" and a redshirt freshman who looked uneasy at the start of the game (quick pick 6 to fall behind) but then made great throw after great throw. There may have been a couple poor passes (I didn't watch every minute) but he was far better than anyone I've seen on the UConn roster since Pindell. He didn't show any running ability but maybe that was because of his passing and his running backs. Also, at least twice during that game the announcers mentioned CSU has 12 new offensive linemen this year with their second year coach having made major improvements to the roster. The line did a great job protecting the QB and opening holes for the backs. Is it possible that conference membership, with its rivalries, add so much to the passion and emotions of a team that it helps recruit and rebuild that much and that quickly? [/QUOTE]
