Sefo had a bad game, but this play was beautiful

Not sure I totally buy this narrative anymore. If the offense still struggles next week and Sefo looks bad, I think you have to potentially look at making a change. Starting to become an ugly trend.
Montez going 1/3 with a pick isn't really helping his case.
He can't throw picks like that second one. Can't.
I am not saying you automatically yank Sefo, but the option needs to be on the table. Hopefully we come out strong against Zona and it is a moot point.
Zona's lone redeeming quality on defense is preventing long balls. They're terrible to poor at the other aspects of the game. They don't have much of a pass rush either. Hopefully the game plan is lots of running and short to intermediate routes. That scenario should help rehab Sefo's confidence.

I agree next game is the proof in the pudding, offense should score at will vs a poor AZ team. Struggle again and I begin to wonder. I will give Sefo somewhat of a pass vs two pretty good defenses. To dominate PAC teams it seems clear we need a good running game to set-up the pass. Judging Montez on a handful of plays coming in cold isn't too fair either.
I like Montez and think he's a wonderful QB, but I would much rather have Sefo to go into 'battle' and lead the team. He's a good, experienced QB that plays and tries extremely hard and mostly succeeds. Rather have a sometimes struggling QB here vs. the very athletic, talented, but young, Montez.
Sefo's presence in the pocket and under pressure is amazing. Yes, for example, this play where he's getting grabbed by the facemask, shakes it off, gestures toward the ref, and then throws a completion as he's getting tackled.

Montez is certainly not infallible and has issues of his own, but he was not anticipating going in last night and I believe his desire to go in the game and provide a spark for the offense clouded his judgment a bit on that deep throw. But I would rather live and die with a gunslinger QB than have a QB that won't pull the trigger and is prone to critical turnovers.
Again, this is not taking anything away from Sefo as far as his toughness and leadership is concerned. He is unmatched in those areas, but 1 td pass in his last 12 quarters of play is not going to cut it.
Sefo is our guy, it would be a mess to change him now. I'd be ok with giving Montezuma a series or two maybe, not my thing. Sefo is banged up and he'll play injured or hurt. That's something to think about.
My thoughts are that it is not totally Sefo right now, but the internal battle between having 2 offensive coordinators that were somewhat on the same page to start the year, but are now seemingly driving in different directions! Are we Texas Tech or Alabama? I like the up tempo, I like the base running game, and I really like lots of quick one read short passes to the playmakers!!!!!!!! Sefo is the least talented playmaker on the field and yet they call QB runs or as mentioned too long of pass routes without creative motion or bootlegs, or any type of quality play fakes. Texas Tech is built on quick passes to WR that can make plays. Our Wideouts are some of the best in the country, and we are not even using Julmisse or Ento who are also studs. Get back to tempo and pitch and catch and quit putting so much on Sefo to decide, he is not doing that very well. I hope we end up with 1 offensive coordinator and 1 special teams coach next year!
This year is great, so complaints are somewhat academic. I'm happy that a full fledged QB controversy hasn't erupted, but IMO if we had lost that game last night there would be another level of chirping going on today. What also is helping is that Sefo is a Senior. If he was a Junior, there'd be a whole "nother" level of QB talk going on. Best to him in life after football and he will always go down as one of the toughest Buffs ever.
How about a better idea.
Let's get some better OL play, go out and dominate AZ from the start and build a solid lead and Sefo's confidence.
Then let's let Sefo sit and watch Montez take the second half and lead us home getting some good gametime experience that will help him in the future and let Sefo rest some.

My only point is Sefo has earned it for Now. After that, it's their call.
Amen, was totally wondering how that was not discussed! They would have been without there stud lineman just like we had no Gilbert. Big difference. Does anyone have a good picture or view of it?
I do. This staff will not bench him. It is not going to happen.
If he keeps playing the way he does, I don't have any problem with this discussion. However, the coaches didn't bench him last year when he could barely throw the ball and they had games where they could have put almost anybody at QB and still won the game. I tend to think that we have gone against two very, very good defenses recently and hope that is the reasoning.
yea, frustrating sitting there thinking line up and get the play off. Then Sefo stops, looks over at the sideline (seems like forever) then the D gets set, then we snap the ball. I thought the whole point of tempo is to catch the D off guard? The best tempo we have had was vs csu and asu and 1st qtr vs um
agreed. way too much personnel switching last game. It was weird.
I have to think this was somewhat by design. Keep in mind that as long as the offense doesn't substitute and gets back into formation, then the defense is still stuck with their personnel on the field and can't adjust even if Sefo is pausing while in the shotgun to get the play from the sideline.
It was a crock of ****, and I guarantee you, if McKinley missed the 2nd half, we cruise to a victory. That guy was a one man wrecking crew last night.
My only explanation that Gilbert's hit was in the open field and therefore easier to see, whereas McKinley's was in the pocket and no ref had a clear angle. It's too bad, because it was clear as day on TV.
Yeah, Sefo at times looked like he was frustrated waiting for the play, he just wanted to go before UCLA got set and they were slow getting set up. A few times they looked confused and we had guys uncovered and we gave them time to get back together.
Also noticed a few times last night when we could have run a play and caught UCLA switching personnel. On some plays the ref was holding play until they made the substitution but on a number of others the ball was signaled ready to play and they still had guys running on and off. We should have had a ready to take advantage.
Solomon Thomas did the same thing to us.

This drives me crazy!!!!! That is NOT tempo. I wonder if BL is uncomfortable with the tempo of Chev.
