Troy was really solid. I think his completion % will go up. You could tell he was excited. That first pass of the game, just as he was letting it go I said to my buddy “He will over throw this”. He did. He was “turnt up” as the kids say. I think as he settles down, get to know his receivers better and uses the TE more we could see him completing high 60’s to low 70’s.
O Line was a surprising disappointment and I actually felt like the D line was to. I am going to give the D line the benefit of the doubt on this one, but the O line needs to get more in synch. And, maybe Troy needs to get some passes out quicker.
I knew we were going to miss Booker, but oh man, how much are we going to miss Booker?! I hope we can see more from the run game in the coming weeks. 3rd and 2 and you can’t get a first down? That was concerning.
If we can get the run game going and the O line to block better (hand in hand situation here) I think we can be a great team this year and get to 10 wins. If the O line keeps playing like this and we continue to average 3 yards a carry, I am thinking 7-8 wins.
The unknown makes this season exciting. And I can’t express how great it is to see a QB that can throw like Troy can! Go Utes!
