Sefo seemed to spark the O a bit, but with that o-trocious line I'm not sure Mariotta would look good.

Bad move. Connor Wood was a five star recruit at UT. He has no help.
I don't understand your rationale.
I made it disappear.
Rep!
Excellent use of ModPower!
On Sefo's arm and his deep balls
1. Went deep to PRich down the sideline where PRich was pushed out of bounds but otherwise it wasn't a bad ball - Should have been PI
2. Went deep again to PRich down the sideline on a corner type route and the corner pushed PRich to gain position to intercept the ball - Should have been another PI
3. Sefo was flushed out of the pocket early and was on the run to his right and tried to get CP the ball down the sideline but it was a yard or a yard and a half out of bounds. Tough throw for a freshman in his first game
4. Threw a very nice ball to McCulloch on a corner route from the opposite hash that gave Tyler just enough space to get his foot down. He had someone in the endzone on that play but it was a late break and was after Sefo had thrown the ball and he probably would have been sacked if he had waited.
In watching the tape Sefo's arm didn't concern me at all. He was fitting the ball in some tight windows and the ball had some velocity on it.
Damn it took almost three hours for the response I was expecting to that :lol:
Connor didn't help the OL much by scrambling outside while there's still a pocket.

This
Wood flushed on pressure that didn't exist. He never stepped up and he almost always had his eyes down as he fled. To make it worse, he started just throwing up 50/50 balls at the end of the play. The oline is not good, but he made it look even worse than it was.

It was not for nothing that he started doing this. When he'd gotten hit in the mouth a few times against Central Arkansas, he seemingly lost faith in the line's ability to protect him, which led to the scrambles, shoddy mechanics and horrendous performances. As I posted elsewhere, a lot of things have to go wrong for us to play as poorly as we have been.
Bold above. It's the only post I read in this thread and it nails it. Connor Wood handles adversity poorly. He's a 4th year Junior. Sefo came in without the deer in the headlights look. It eventually came when they kept getting to him, but he has the "it factor" that Connor doesn't. I've turned the page and will look to developing our QB of the future while perhaps not winning more than a game or two more.
Sure, but the throws weren't concerning at all, and that was the point, apparently you missed it.

No. I did not. I agreed his arm is fine. Unless that was not your point? Was PI.
My bad, I misinterpreted your post. Yeah my point is that we shouldn't be concerned with his arm strength at this point.
Sent from a red light
No doubt. I just remember the CAU and Oregon games and seeing him run into a DE multiple times instead of stepping up into the pocket and hitting a guy on a short or intermediate route.

If nothing else having Sefo play now sets us up better for next season. He will not be a complete rookie next season in game 1, he will at least have some good game minutes under his belt. That being said, in my opinion we are now out of the most brutal part of our schedule. It was a good time for the QB change. Hopefully they can get him a win next week and he can start building on that.
YES... It is time to move on and try something else. CU needs wins, a win, have to start showing more progress or this downward spiral might never end. If CU wants to attract Pac12 caliber ball players, we need to start seeing wins. Period.
If they have to play the water boy, go to a veer offense, go to the spread and throw 70 times a game. CU has to do anything it can to get a WIN.. Results on scoreboards and wins are what will get this turned around. Sefo might not be the answer. At least something is being done. Remember when BJack was put in and we ran the option?? I will give danny boy that one, he was trying to show results.
Kids these days want to see results and are in a society where everything is instant, instant results. CU needs to WIN!

Kid is a competitor, I will give him that. He doesn't like to make mistakes and with a 68Td/20int record in HS I can't blame him. If the bolded part is true, then next week could be fun for Sefo.
No worries. Hopefully we are mutually agreeing soon that Sefo has a cannon of an arm and somehow managed turn this ship around by himself :lol: The defense, "well pour me another one bartender......"

Does anyone remember Koy Detmer's debut at Nebraska on Halloween? He looked like he was about 12 years old and got destroyed every play, but he turned out to be a Buff great. That is a hard situation.
Sefo had a ton of poise given the moment and circumstances. I think he's a gamer and a learner who isn't going to get rattled by the onslaught of pressure. I saw some leadership qualities as well. The opposing D's aggressiveness might even open a few things up.
The OL needs to run a few thousand laps this week. They aren't giving us a chance right now.

Want to see them pushing the sled fully loaded all week from one end to the other. Get old school with the o-line. Tire flipping, rope swinging, sled pushing, and bear crawls. We need mauler's, not finesse guys.
He doesnt need to apologize for that safety. He had no chance on that.
