West's impact on the three games he started is inconclusive. But one thing stands out: his failure to throw a TD pass in any of them.  When's the last time a three-time starter failed to score a TD through the air? Not saying his performance led to the losses. But it did not help.

I don't think we are disagreeing on the facts; just the emphasis.  West has had two dreadful performances and one merely bad one.  It's just that in all three games, the problems extended beyond the identity of the QB.  This in not a case where we would have won but for the fact that West was our starting QB.  Of course, that doesn't mean he should be our QB going forward.

BC

Impossible to prove one way or the other. But I think Stanford would have had a great shot to beat Oregon if Mills played.

Wouldn't have hurt, that's for sure.
