In a post game interview Nelson said be was throwing to JJ.

He was on the TD pass but on the pass to MJ the only other possible receiver would have been Mathews.

Right. Mathews was streaking deep after Riley scrambled around. I think he was trying to hit him but missed badly. MJ came halfway across the field to make the catch...I don't even think Riley knew he was there.

Shoudnt we actuallt wait to see Lark Play before calling for him to play over Heaps?

maybe maybe not. I think it is fair to give him some reps against the shitty teams we play in the back half. The kid was highly recruited. He looks the part and is an unknown. Is he better? No idea at this point, but Heaps sucks donkey balls and Riley is going to fade.

Riley absolutely knew he was there. He addressed this in the press conference. He also owned up to the luck part of the play.

Of course he addressed it and pretended he knew he was there. Come on he also acted like he made a good throw to JJ on the tipped ball. That ball wasn't close.

it was a bad pass to JJ. Plus if he saw Mathews he would have thrown it to him because he was wide open.

Wow Junkie. What's the point of being a killjoy? Nelson had no reason to lie in the presser. Enjoy the win. No matter who the QB is going forward we are going to beat up on patsies for a few games and then most likely get our ass handed to us vs TCU.

Look I am excited that Nelson won us that game. But moving forward if he is our future we are in trouble. Obviously Heaps is not getting it done but you can see the physical skills Heaps has and it gives me hope that eventually it clicks. With Nelson his potentially is tapped out and if one team prepares for him he will not be effective.

My feeling is that we need to see what Riley can do when he is given all the attention in practice. He wasn't perfectly accurate in all his throws but he was far more accurate than Jake. It could be that Riley's brainpower, pluck, running ability, and leadership abilities will come together to overcome physical limitations

We are in trouble no matter who starts.

Go to my new thread about rehabing Jake. I would enjoy hearing your thoughts.

[Jeff Lebowski]

I don't have a lot of hope for Riley taking us to the promised land. Unfortunately, I have less faith in Heaps at this point. I think he is officially a bust. I hope time proves me wrong about one or both of them.

We saw that for the first 3 games last year. I imagine we'd get something similar this year. And similar to what we saw last night. A guy with guts, who can run, but can't throw the ball. Still, I'm fine if Bronco decides to start him.

Yes, I misread the post to which I responded. Sorry.

No you didn't. You saw a guy who was splitting reps just like Jake. Why does the, "get all the reps" thing apply to Jake and not Riley?

Double standard.

It's not my standard. But Jake was an 18 yo freshman last year and this is Riley's 4th year playing college ball.
