For instance, I can imagine Maynard having blossomed under Franklin or, even more so, in Oregon’s hurry up style the Ducks pioneered under Kelly in the 2010’s. Not saying he could ever have had anything approaching astronomical numbers like Goff, but certainly better than what we saw at Cal with its OC’s in that pre-Dykes era.
