The case for Will Howard at QB
Skyler obviously will have some advantages over a true freshman in many aspects, but if Will can throw with accuracy and consistency, I sure hope the staff will give him a real chance to take the reigns.
There wasn’t much to go off today in very limited snaps. But this is a team that will likely be playing from behind for much of the year. We need to improve our air attack and maybe that starts at QB. Will is a smart kid, it’ll be interesting to see how he does with 2-3 series

Skylar's inaccuracy and up and down play frustrates me as much as anyone but I'm worried about throwing Howard behind that OL right now. There isn't a good option available, just a bunch of problems.KsJoey wrote: ↑September 12th, 2020, 6:28 pmSkyler obviously will have some advantages over a true freshman in many aspects, but if Will can throw with accuracy and consistency, I sure hope the staff will give him a real chance to take the reigns.

I think it was a terrible offensive line that was the problem today. That was pathetic. They were never in place a ne would block the wrong person and leave someone open to the QB every play

Does anyone else feel like Skylar guides the ball instead of throwing it? Especially on the deep balls.

Backup and then 3rd string center along with an OL that is in it's first game. Missing several backups that would have helped with the rotation.
Missing #2 and #3 WR in Gill and Youngblood.
Missing Wright at RB.
Playing against an uneven front that isn't typical in the Big 12.
No excuses, but I doubt Howard would have fared much better given the circumstances.

I thought when the starting C went down and they moved Adler over from G to C things went bad really fast. They put in the 3rd string C later thats a walk-on from Kansas and things started to improve some imo. Difficult situation for those new guys anyway and then their glue guy at C goes down to make things worse.
Regarding Skylars struggles throwing the ball downfield he doesn't have a strong arm and his footwork gets sloppy at times imo. Even on that long pass that Knowles ended up kind of dropping Skylar threw him back into the defender instead of leading him across the field making it an easier catch. He continually throws the ball over the wrong shoulder and leads his wrs back into DBs that are trailing. The miracle one handed catch Knowles made he was WIDE open and should have walked in with a TD.

Arky State had challenges too.
