Also, Tanner McKee may be the slowest QB in College Football. He pulled the ball once and I thought it was an easy 1st down and he got tackled for about 3 yards.

McKee is the last bastion of the "statuesque pocket-passing QB" recruiting archetype under Shawgren (Pritchard took over at OC in 2018, at which point McKee and West were already committed and about to sign). Every single QB we've offered under Tavita in more recent years - whether we signed them or not - has been able to pull it and run. It's a prerequisite for today's game.

Makes me think about whether "stripping down and adjusting the offense to our personnel" - i.e. the slow mesh RPO - is actually more suited for the next QBs on the roster, Patu and Daniels, who are at least credible run threats.
