I do think Musgrave and Garbers are getting better at using his legs at the right times. Garbers was the leading rusher in the game in spite of some of the no-hope sacks he had.

I agree, I think Musgrave had to learn the hard way with the Nevada loss that Garbers strength isn’t staying in the pocket and he will never be a pro style pocket passing QB. Why it took the Nevada game to learn this and not the Covid shorten 20 season, I do not know.

But if he learned in the Nevada game, why was Chase throwing deep balls throughout the game?

Well you still have to throw it deep, you just can’t concede the deep ball and passing game. I believe what Musgrave has done since Nevada is get Garbers out of the pocket more on designed roll outs to give him a run/pass option. I also think he is encouraging Garbers to use his legs rather than throwing so many check downs.

Because he's completing many of them. Have you looked at his game stats? He was 30 for 41 (that's a 73% completion average), passed for 319 yards and 2 TD's. He had 2 int's, one of which was a back shoulder throw in which the receiver did not make the required adjustment. He ws our leading rusher with 71 yards and 1 TD. So Garbers accounted for 390 yards of offense, 3 TD's and 2 picks, one of which was receiver error. I'd say he had a fucking great day in the world of college football.

Btw, Garbers was 390 of our total 457 total yards of offense.
