    Hall looked good Saturday, that had to move him up the draft day charts.

      There wasn't another BYU fan present to confirm this when it happened--the BYU fans I arrived with had long since eaten and then run off to their special place to seek comfort in the face of an ugly game--but the three or four Duck fans nearest me in the Oregon box from which I suffered through that beatdown were all VERY impressed with some of Jaren's throws in the 2nd half. After one dime from the far hash, two of these guys turned around to look at with raised eyebrows as if to say "glad we got out to a lead early in this one, because this kid can sling". One of them even said "we might be title contenders with that kid at QB."

      There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach Finstock

        Hey I got into a verbal altercation with a drunk UO frat boy. Do you think I was going to risk my life and walk that concourse a 2nd time?

        As for the compliment. I believe at last 2/4 adult male Duck fans in the suite played D1 college football. So they know what they're talking about.

              Yip. He's played very well.

              The one area where he doesn't seem as good as last season to me - his foot speed. Maybe they've just been playing against faster teams, but he hasn't seemed as fast to me as he did last season.

                Pretty much.

                  I agree with this., but I think it's been like that ever since the ASU injury. He is slower this year, for sure. Not sure if that is injury related or if he just hasn't opened the full throttle yet, but he is definitely not getting the corner like he did pre ASU.

                    That could be right. But I'd rather have him pass than run, either way.

                        I'm seeing the lack of it when he's eluding defenders.

                          although on that long TD run vs baylor (wasn't baylor post ASU?) he looked as fast as he's ever looked. maybe it's an acceleration issue or a quickness issue? i don't know but i do agree he hasn't looked as fast or explosive.

                            It reminds me of after Taysom Hill got hurt. But I feel like his speed eventually came back. That could be simply holding back while the body continues to fully heal. And sometimes it's simply a function of watching the run from a deceptive angle.

                              Could be just another misconception by fans.

                                absolutely. imo, that's a strong possibility.
