Yesterday the problem was YAC, IMHO.
Everybody that got the ball seemed to be stopped cold with the first contact. More than once I was shocked that Wazzu would just stuff a runner on a one on one play. So that was not on Nunes IMO. Also, Wazzu had people flying through the air making all kinds of crazy circus catches. Nunes does not get that support.
Nunes is not that accurate. That is annoying.
Nunes does not trust his reads all of the time. That is curious.
Nunes loses track of the play clock. That is frustrating.
And yet, Nunes will be the starter. A little bit of fan loyalty and support probably was the way to go yesterday. As frustrating as his confidence-less play can be, booing the guy or the coach during the game seems like a bad way to improve his confidence mid-game. IMHO.
Luck is taking a terrible team to the AFC playoffs at this point, so I think Stanford ticket holders have lost perspective on what an average college QB can deliver. Luck delivered 9s or 10s on every possible QB attribute. My guess is that Nottingham, like Nunes, has quite a few areas that need improvement that people in the stands would scream about if he was the starter.
