Well, spiny, we did have a QB battle and it did sort itself out.  And for what it’s worth, McKee was second in the PAC-12 in passing yards behind Slovis (mostly because we couldn’t run and had to rely on McKee to throw for any offense whatsoever).  Using QBR, which adjusts for that, McKee was firmly in the middle of the PAC (6th) at 138.7, nearly identical to Davis Mills (139.9) the year before.

BC

Absolutely, BC. No question about that. I was just re-visiting Shaw's head-scratching evaluation of McKee vs. West as equals going into game 1. "I feel great about both guys, their abilities to run our offense." It's tough to give credibility to his evaluations of the team and its readiness when he has been so far off in the recent past.
