Caleb just didn't look like Caleb yesterday.
Last time Caleb took off his hammy tore against Utah. But taking off is what makes Caleb special and got him his trophy.
I wonder if that hammy still bugs him. Then why run the option where defenders attack you legs ?
Look at his highlights. Caleb is also caleb when Caleb throws into tight windows. Some ridiculous.
Check out his "highlights" from yesterday. dump passes and wide open receivers, yawn.
It's been speculated that he dosn't want to get hurt. Thought he was passed the whole petulant thing. Guess not.
Check out any of the dozens of highllights from last season, different guy.
Yes, it's only the first game. Yes it was San Diego State. But Caleb had minus yards rushing. Really?
He sort of started like this last season too. But now he's defending his heisman. Hope his hammy is ok. sc
I agree he looked off. I'm going to assume most of it was the rotating line but he needs to get rid of the ball quicker. There are so many talented guys open for short passes that he doesn't need to take a sack or throw it away. If doesn't want to get hurt, he better dump it off. I suspect he will be fine as rhe offensive line firms up.
More worried about the Defense. The talent is better and deeper but SJSU had open lanes and wide open receivers. Grinch has no discernible scheme. Back of the season could be an Alamo Bowl at best type disaster of a season if ND lights us up.
"Check out his "highlights" from yesterday. dump passes and wide open receivers, yawn. "
my speculation from his highlights is that he wants to win games and avoid turnovers
so far so good
They didn't even bother pursuing him when he created space w his legs. And sure enough. He pitched stuff. He ran out of bounds. He threw oob
As I said earlier. He likes the lifestyle. Likes being a star. Is fine putting the work in. He loves flag football. Hates being hit.
He has a perfection complex that Carries over to his throwing choices. I imagine he will progress. Rust. Lot of it is a switch he can flip. But what we saw yesterday isn't good enough to win the big games.
Concern is that he doesn't handle failure well at all. He's a front runner. Talks a lot about leadership and his men. Sometimes I wonder if that's trying to convince himself.
Anyway. He's a lot better option than anything else usc or most schools have. I bet Riley and KK will hash it out in The film room
Protecting his hi first rd money.
SJSU was the better athlete at QB yesterday.
That is worrisome
