ESPN box score says 25.5 for tonight, which is bad.  Probably was under 15 until the last drive (and then only starting with the fourth down throw to Smith).

BC

Neither Nunes nor Burns had a full game below 30,* so that particular figure doesn't invalidate my point. (Not saying that's what you're trying to do, just noting it for the record.)

*(Well, it depends on how you count the UNC game. Burns's was 28.4.)

Anyway, the weirdest part of Shaw's coaching career has arguably been his quarterbacks. I mean more than "will he switch them/will he won't," which is over-discussed. I guess Chryst's polarized career -- a lot of BAD and a lot of GOOD -- is a decent metaphor for Shaw's, too. Because he never has an adequate quarterback. There isn't a solid Sean Mannion-type guy.

It's either brilliant or great QBs (Luck, Hogan) or, ah, nice kids who are good student-athletes, shall we say.
