If that receiver is JJAW or Colby Parkinson (or even Caden Smith) you can throw it over good underneath coverage because the receiver can go up and get it (and the DB can't). If the intended receiver is a mortal who is shorter and can't jump as well, you have to throw it lower and then it will get picked. Simple as that. Look at what happend against Utah for an example.
KJ had a streak of like 10 or 11 straight completions. He is accurate enough. He has a great arm. He just needs to learn when his great accuracy/arm won't matter because there are defenders between him and the receiver. Don't throw to guys that are covered, especially when they are covered over and under. Good over coverage will probably produce an incomplete pass as opposed to a pick, but when there is both, you have no chance (unless you have JJ et al). At Stanford, he didn't learn that. So far, Leach hasn't got that into his head either.
KJ is tough. Makes plays. Good leader. But I have never thought he was particularly accurate. Any QB playing for Leach will have a high percentage. I bet 2/3rds of the throws cover 10 yards in the air or less. Lots of long handoffs. KJ was 43-59. 313 yards. 313 on 59 throws is lousy.

KJ and the Costellos, hopefully not a one-hit wonder.
Reminds me of Stanford in 1979 — the only team USC couldn’t beat, and the only team Oregon State could. Wound up 5-5-1.
The Elway years. What could have been had Walsh, or even Dohower stayed. Wiggin wrong coach at that time.
