Then he needs to work on the "air under ball", but the actual arm strength isn't the problem.  Maybe he likes to throw a catchable ball.  I don't know.  But the talent is there.  I thought the 2 TD passes to Johnson had the perfect amount of air under it.  Johnson was wide open.  It was actually better to let him run under it.  Dart not needed in that scenario.  The bad INT that seemed floated, he actually got hit if you re-watch the tape.  There's a time for bullets in traffic, and he wasn't really tested in this area in the game.

Terrible?  That first TD reminded me of Grothe, the way he scrambled around.  I think USF finally has a playmaker at QB.   11-15 passing.

A couple of those "darts" were suspect reads and would've probably been picked by a better and non gassed defense.

I'm not debating his arm strength, just the fact that he puts too much air under nearly every pass I've seen from him.

 

Completed 12 of 16 so apparently that wasn't a problem this game. Thought the air on the deeper passes was just right. Will have to wait and see if he's going to need to put more zip on those shorter passes against better athletes starting this weekend.

You're right, it didn't hurt us this time.  The problem with lofting the ball in a lot of cases, is it gives the defender time to adjust.  It will be a problem against faster DBs.

It's not an arm strength issue. It's a release and footwork issue. He keeps working on technique and it will be better. wasn't bad on most throws Saturday.

You are being melodramatic.  QF can do no wrong.

12 of 16 because nary a defender anywhere near the guys he threw to.  If every defense is like FAMU, we'll be fine.

Good quarterbacks find holes in the defense and throw to guys who are open. That's the point, if there are defenders around and he has to thread the needle one would assume he would either run or do just that. I don't understandthe argument.

Great QBs don't require a receiver to be wide open with no defender within 10 yards of him in order to complete the pass.  That is the argument.

Did someone say Flowers was great?

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    "I wish you guys could be in the locker room and be on the practice field because it is so much different from what it has been in the past."
