Last time I checked, it was a team game. Our defense had the opportunity to make a stop after the first interception and gave up a TD. If we hold them to a FG, it's 23-23. QB play could have been better down the stretch. We also could have suited up our kickoff specialist and could have tackled better in the secondary.Gonzo wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 11:01 amNot disagreeing with anything in this post, but the last time we lost a game solely do to QB play was CCU 2020.bigdaddyg wrote: ↑Wed Mar 24, 2021 9:06 amFirst question- if Brice does win the job doesn’t he really have 2 seasons remaining if he chooses to play?

If our staff absolutely whiffs on the QB, plays a guy who stinks and we lose games because of this I will be beyond shocked and dismayed. For the life of me I can’t recall the last game we lost due solely to QB play.

Re: Spring Practice
As soon as I typed that last question my first thought was the Coastal game. Zac could and should have played better but personally I don’t put the loss on him. Like in most games, particularly losses we only remember a few bad plays (usually by the QB) but we forget the seemingly insignificant plays that also affected the outcome. Missed tackles, dropped passes, etc.WASU 93 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 26, 2021 10:10 amLast time I checked, it was a team game.

Re: Spring Practice
So on the main appstatesports site it shows #1 making a catch - since there isn't a #1 on the current roster listing I am guessing it is one of the freshmen WRs - Also on the twitter feed it shows #7 passing the ball - anyone know if that is Brice or Tabscott?

Re: Spring Practice
Love Ethan’s reporting. Pretty good stuff. The thing that was intriguing to me was what he didn’t say. Most notably about the QB competition.
