they did trust in Lockie even though he turned out to not be right while MM was there. They brought in Adams because he was available and was a supreme talent the young guys weren't ready. Lockie would have been given the reigns and Oregon likely would have went to the New Mexico Bowl. They brought in Prukop because he also shows talent. but it was because Jonsen was coming off injury and they didn't know where in his recovery he would be. bringing him in doesn't make him the starter. 1 year they didn't trust who they had. the next they needed insurance in case Jonsen wasn't ready off injury. Had they not brought in Prukop, Jonsen would already be named the starter. the fact that they are still competing tells me what I need to know.
Not only do UW and WSU have the only returning QB's in the division worth talking about, but both schools have the easiest SOS in the conference I believe. UW's is actually the lowest I think.
That offense with Falk at the helm and that schedule still gets you no less than 9 wins even with a shit defense. There's just no way the cougs don't make a big step forward this year.
Washingtons schedule is light for 3 games (though Rutgers is a tricky one to guess on because year to year you never know) @Arizona is another one. Home team has won 8 in a row. Then Stanford and @Oregon, new QBs but by that time both will have been tested and should be in stride. Stanford has Kansas State, USC and UCLA before UW, Oregon has Nebraska and WSU. after that a trip to Utah and then USC and Arizona State at home back to back are the tricky spots for UW.
Yeah,who the hell does he think he is, coming to WSU and winning. A missed chip shot field goal decided the North last year, not a bad defense. Admit it, Wazzu; you know you think Cougs will take the North.
You're killing me dude.lol If a school has had every starting QB drafted ( and one that didn't start) over a span of 15 years is a really good thing and shows they had QBs ready to jump in.
Oregon developed college QB's, just not NFL QB's in the past. Now, they don't develop either.
Seriously, how hard is that to acknowledge when it's staring you in the renta QB face.
So if Jonsen didn't get hurt, he would have been better than VA, in your opinion
Jonsen started running again in Dec. just started running again. not even fully. Prukop joined in Jan. sometimes coming off injury recovery has set backs. they didn't know how well he would be even though it was still 9 months away. a lot can happen. this was also before signing day. they didn't know who all they would have. so no they didn't like their overall depth.
