Is Starling ever going to be healthy enough to play?

Idaho will be good. Really like that team

Hate our WR play, no separation . I’m not really sure if it’s sjv or Finley who should be getting the start at this point.

Stop kicking field goals

Spav needs to coach with more balls. Play calling doesn’t seem close to how we played in 2016

Love our RB’s and LB’s

Are FG not reviewable?

cheeksbossman's avatar

Doesn’t seem like Spav has much faith in SJVs arm and our WRs haven’t been getting much separation which is where we miss J Mike. Glad we got the win but conference play might be ugly.

I was hoping Hightower to be the tall receiver who can catch contested balls

I was hoping Starling would be healthy and be a dominant big-man possession receiver, like a TE body playing WR

Only Hunter does that.

Yet we seem to prefer to throw to him short so he can muscle out 4-5 yard gains

Looked good to me. Wtf refs

Yes it had an angle. But it looked left after it already passed over the cross bar.

I dont know about Sam Jackson anymore. I think I finally understand what people were talking about in regards to the gap between us and most of the Pac 12 in QB play. I think I like him as a change of pace with designed runs and play action but not the starter.

GoldenSD81's avatar

Yeah, I’m a bit iffy on him as a passer right now. I hope it is just inexperience and he will improve.

He gives you something you don’t have with the legs, but he needs to run more to win. He’s not gonna beat you from the pocket.

He won't make it through the season if part of the game plan is to run him frequently / consistently.

Expand full comment
Justbear's avatar

I think he still gives us the best chance to win.

12-23 for 108 yards against Idaho leaves a lot to be desired.

I feel like a combination of the two gives us the best chance.

I assumed Spav's offense was going to make it simple for receivers to be open and you dont necessarily need top end talent but that doesnt seem to have been the case

Rugbear's avatar

Finley makes quicker reads than V5, for now. But V5's ability means we need to give V5 time to learn, because when he learns to make those reads like Finley he will be scary good.

You're more insightful than I am but I completely agree... It seems to me that he has tremendous upside plus game breaking athleticism.

He's had a rough year. Defenses have watched film and figured him out. He's big, strong and nasty, but needs a ton of work on his technique.

Assuming the fumble holds up I'm always conflicted about these - on one hand I'm happy we get the ball (if we do), on the other hand WHY THE F#$#$ did they gain 11 yards in the first place!?
