We had 3 scoring drive opportunities last game for 63 yds (TD), 57 yds (FG), and 44 yds (miss FG) with some key drops throughout the game. Bench looked good in the second quarter. With first team snaps I expect him to look much more comfortable and I am sure they are drilling him to stay within the system and himself. I think he gets overconfident, can make bad decisions, and can lack mental toughness but those can be corrected with coaching and practice. I imagine them sitting him down and making him watch his film and going something like this:

 

-1st qtr we threw you in and you had to settle but made some decent throws and receivers didn't help ya with those drops

 

-2nd qtr you settled down and worked within the system and did great.

 

-3rd qtr you got bit anxious

 

-4th qtr you forced too much, made bad decisions, and got outside yourself 

 

I don't know if we will see White go, but if he does he needs to be 100% ready. From the first game he was tight and nervous. I can't imagine him playing well with an injury that was severe enough to pull him from the UM game since I believe most of his hangups are around confidence. The flashes that I have seen from White when things are clicking, he has thrown some of the best ball I have seen from any QB at USF. Quick, decisive, feet planted, good arm strength, and good mechanics.

Now that White has gotten hit pretty good, maybe he can settle in more quickly. Doesn't have to worry about what that first hit will feel like anymore.

Seeing a lot of improvement from last year's play on both sides of the ball.  We're still a little young and inexperienced in some key areas, but I think we'll see some solid play and pull this off.

 

Just no TO's on offense please...

or special teams

The good news is N.C. State is #104 against the rush.

"Clicking" in USFspeak is when White connects on 10 passes in a single game.

In other news, Holtz'z QB threw for 5 TDs the other night. Sigh. I'd love him as OC.

Do you think NC State prepped for the chance White would start? Maybe have the DBs catch extra passes this week?

If its a Mike "The Statue" White Pick Fest, its going to be hard to not start flipping back and forth to the UGA game.
