This loss had nothing to do with the QB or the QB play. It was totally bad coaching, bad coaching, and bad coaching. I thought he learned his lesson last year to let his O Coordinator call the offense. Obviously he didn't learn his lesson and is meddling again. This game was full of absolutely the worst coaching decisions ever made. No real coach sits on a 20 pt lead in the first half, much less the beginning of the second quarter.
who the hell takes a QB with a great arm and accuracy and doesn't throw intermediate passes? You can tell that the deep passes and the bubble screen passes were all coach called passes. Because no QB wants to throw bombs all day for such a low % attempt. Or throw the ball behind the line of scrimmage on a 3rd and 10 play. The only time this happens is when the coach says throw this pass or tuck it and run, or take a sac. All bad coaching.
Furthermore a QB change to get the freshmen some reps isn't necessarily a good thing. Gus has ruined more that one QB by putting him in in the redzone to run the readoption, rather to run the football only to ruin the QB's confidence and destroy the QB forever.
Gus needs to relinquish all play calling forever and never be allowed to make game time decisions, period. It's obvious he can't make a good call ever. It takes the croud booing him for him to go for it on 4th and 1 in the redzone, anywhere else on the field and he refuses to try for it no matter how much booing the cloud does. Second the offense can war0 speed down the field wear out the defense and as soon as we reach the redzone he's swapping out players giving the defense the chance to do the same resulting in no TD and a field goal try. Not to mention running the same running play 3 times in a row resulting in no gain or more often than not loss of yards...
Not even high school coaches make these horrible mistakes.
Full fledged dumpster fire!
