Sure, but I think that has more to do with the poor recruiting at the position. Up to this point it's been Apsay, Gherke and Montez. Hard to develop guys who shouldnt be playing at this level in the first place (jury still out on Montez).

Getting as much live action as possible can only help a young QB. Seems intuitively obvious.
Uh...when our starting quarterback left the game it was 31-28. I'm not sure what you're talking about. We hung with the #4 team in the country and had the lead in the third quarter.

FIFY. And yeah...not sure what he means. Healthy Sefo and even avg ST we'd have had a real shot at winning.

I'll go you one better. Regardless of the injury to Sefo or Diego, if we just have an average net punt of something like 36 yds/punt then we win that game by 2 or 3 TDs going away.
SIAP:
Barnett said on the radio that there was nothing wrong with the scheme on the punt that got blocked. Merely execution. Hopefully that gets fixed. The brown streak running down the back of our punters pants. Hopefully that gets Laundered.
ILBs flowing inside out on a sweep. Hopefully that gets fixed. ILBs covering TE on a shallow drag pattern. Hopefully that gets fixed. Maybe Falo. Olugbode played well.
I'd say prepare both Montez and Noyer to play this week against the duck. Drastic measures for desperate times. Macintyre's job depends on QB execution until Sefo gets back.
Never thought I'd say this but Sefo was absolutely awesome yesterday!!!!
Yep. If it came down to it (like if Montez went down & Sefo couldn't play again this year), I'd rather try to win with our defense and having either Awini or J-Mac spelling Gehrke by running some sort of wildcat to move the ball. Noyer needs to keep that redshirt on.
I think Montez if he has to play this week will look a lot better than he did yesterday.
Agreed. Not only was the big house a HUGE stage to get his first real game action, but he didnt get hardly any reps in practice as the #2.
specifically talking about losing sefo, mccartney, and the kicker in one game. hoping that we get well quickly. also talking about completely blowing a great lead and watching our special teams **** the bed spectacularly. also talking about watching our linebackers get completely abused on the edge after we lost derek.
yes, i am pleased we looked ok for awhile. but, i am over moral victories. losing sefo just took the air out of the team. i do think despite all the stuff i am pissed about, we could have won it maybe if sefo doesn't get hurt.
I don't think we win with Sefo in there but I think it comes down to the wire. This week is gonna be a big test for the rest of the team if he can't be out there.

Exactly. It's annoying to see claims we would have certainly won if bad things hadn't happened. Yes our chances would have been better, but everything shifts under different dynamics. All we know is what actually happened. Sefo was outstanding first quarter and opening of third. Seemed pass pressure was increasing with Montez - would that have happened to Sefo? Could he have thrown a pick-6? Fumbled? Thrown 3 more TDs? Yes any of the above could have happened. Would much much much rather have him running the offense, but assuming a repeat of Q1 is a little ridiculous.
Really wish Sefo were in top shape for Oregon, could have been fun. Anyway hope he's back very soon.

Why? Is he that bad?
If he's better than Montez or if there is even a question then I think Mac burns the shirt to potentially save his job.
Stated another way, if Noyer is the best remaining option then what would motivate Mac to continue red-shirting him so that he could have 4 years of eligibility for the next head coach.
Yea, this is too far. Even if it did have merit as an idea, this staff is coaching for their jobs.
Short term >> long term.

Montez has a year in the system. Noyer has some time with a book and probably zero reps with the two deep.
