Week 1 is wrapping and we have seen a lot of amazing performances – and some space for development. Texas Quarterback Arch manning Shown against Ohio State It is a place to improve when it comes to his decision making, accuracy and time. During this time, UtaA new crime-a new aggressive coordinator and quarterback started, showing that it could be a wide open Big 12 title team.
Can Manning Debut Shake Gitlers and show that he can shine in the spotlight? Can Utah continue to show on both sides of the ball?
Our college football experts break the major takeaways from the week 1 performance.
How to evaluate CFP Committee Week 1 Performance
The college football playoff selection committee is going to continue using the schedule strength to evaluate the teams, but what happens on the field will be balanced with it – and it can be a problem AlabamaTexas and Clemson If they are not better in specific areas.
Alabama and Texas lost illegal games for quality opponents on the road – in Alabama Florida State And Texas in Ohio State – and the committee is not going to punish them to schedule those blockbuster matches. The big concern is how those teams struggled in loss. The tide was physically beaten in front, while Texas spit in the red zone and stuttered and was unable to achieve its downfield passing game under Arc Maning. AgitationProtecting with Claymason had its own way, expecting more than an experienced passing game Cad ClubanicThis will lead to the head-to-head result and the difference between the first round domestic game, the first round bye or a large bid may be different. , Heather dinich
What happened to Arc Manning?
On his first snap, Manning played the right roll and was DEndre Moore JuniorWidespread opening on the path of a corner. Still, in one of the pioneers of what was about to come, he threw it directly into the turf.
In one of the most anticipated debut in recent college football history, Maning was completely enraged in horsepo. He was indecent, was wrong and plain stunning looked.
According to ESPN Research, Manning was a 0 -for -5 near the first three quarters. It also ended with any Texas Quarterback in the last decade with an off-target rate of 37% of the worst game in that department. Maning telegraph a downfield interception with a long windup, and almost telegraphs, but the authorities gave it to.
Perhaps it was the first game veins. Perhaps this was a hostile atmosphere. Perhaps it was a really bad day.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Longhorn, Championship Caliber appeared. The aggressive line gave a lot of time to throw Manning. The running back tackle ran away with hard work. Raksha mostly placed a conservative Ohio state crime under investigation.
But Manning should be completely better. Otherwise, Texas’s National Championship aspirations will quickly collapse. , Jake trotter
The philosophical change of Colorado will take time
I asked Dion Sanders how he felt about coaching his first game Colorado After bladder replacement/reconstruction surgery in this spring, and he did not spend much time on his health.
“Nice,” he said. “I don’t feel good right now, but I liked it during the game.”
Sanders were more interested in discussing a season-opening loss, which Colorado had led quick Georgia Tech That we are trying to become a buffalo. Colorado talked about winning the line of scribe in all summer and being more physical after the departure of the hesitation trophy winner Travis HunterRecord-setting quarterbacks Shedur sanders And many productive detailed receivers.
In some areas, buffers were better, namely their run game, which was the worst in FBS during Sanders’ tenure. Colorado had 146 yards and 31 attempts for a touchdown, the third highest total in the Sanders era and the highest in a major win in 148 yards in the last October was in the last October in last October. AerizonaSanders is committed to shift, saying that Colorado should go even more, start with new quarterbacks Cadon salter,
“He is a dual threat, and we want him to have a dual threat,” Sanders said.
Sanders canceled the notion that the crime of Colorado would need time to settle with its new approach, stating that the group had all spring and heat. But it is clear that without the quarterbacks, Hunter, Lajohante Wester and other receiver without a sheder sanders, that shift will not take place overnight.
Nevertheless, it is good to see Sanders committed to the approach. He also came down on a rescue who kept Georgia Tech out of the last area for more than 25 minutes, but could not stem Georgia Tech Drive or Curtel for a long time. Henes king And other ball carrier.
Sanders said, “We got to clean all that.” “We are just patrolled. Quarterback looks like a hesitation candidate right now. We have done so.”
Sanders appears before his health issues. Their focus is now finding out how Colorado can win differently, which he can take more than as much as he wants. , Adam retainberg
Upgrade in Cal Quarterback
When? Fernando Mendoza Left period For IndianaIt was seen as a blow for a CAL team that was struggling with incompatibility in the previous season. But to see the golden beer opener Oregan state On Saturday, it did not take long to conclude Zeron-kewe sagapolutail – And perhaps by a significant difference. The highly touched possibility from Hawaii did not end up with an incredible state line – 30, 234 yards out of 20, 3 touchdowns – but was so comfortable about his drama that it made it clear that it was a real deal.
In his first college Snaps, Sagpolutale played with an experienced poem that left a mark that has not been created by quarterbacks since its start for Beers. Jared sorns in 2013. When Goff made his debut, it was clear that it was special (even in a loss). For sagapolutele, the vib is similar.
Cal to Cal of Sagapolutale was universal. He committed to Cal before flipping in July 2024 OreganAdmission to school and spend about a month with the program before jumping into the portal. What he proved on Saturday was that he was ready to play immediately, an opportunity that would not be in Eugene. And as a result, Cal is very interesting. , Kyle Bonagura
Experience still matters in QB
Quin Evers Played through a oblique injury and this last season in Texas has a high ankle sprain. Steve Sarkisian played Evers over Arch Manning several times when Evers were not 100% healthy. Why?
Because experience still matters in quarterbacks.
Watching maning and Alabama Quarterback Ty Simpson The conflict with decision making in their first road clearly removes the point from the house. Both have a lot of arm talent at the beginning of the first year. They are supported by excellent playcallers and strong supporting artists. On Saturday, there were just a lot of moments where they did not know where to throw.
There is a need to improve their decision making, time and accuracy on important downs. Simpson completed one of the 10 passes against pressure according to ESPN research. Maning could not find anything until the fourth quarter. This is not an indictment of his long -term future in any way. This is just an investigation to short -term reality from a valuable stress test.
There is no better way to do yoga Archie Manning puts it on ESPN’s Dave Wilson: “He is not yet angry with a drop.”
This last season was the best bet for a loaded Texas team as they saw it over 36 and more than 2,200 snaps. He launched 19 games against the top -25 teams. You cannot fake that kind of experienced experience. Power 4 teams were eager to pay $ 1.5–2 million to this offsen for QB, who had only a season to start experience because they want to relieve these increasing pain and win now.
Simpson and Manning spent long views and learning. Now all this is time to learn this stuff in a difficult way, and it requires little patience. But for these promising young QB Chasing Championships, the best way is always through. , Max Olson
Uta Already seems to defeat the team in Big 12
Maybe it is just an overlapping after just one game against one UCLA The team that was mostly lost at night, but the way you had a Bruce to Bruce, reminiscent of the Kyle Whitingham teams, who won the PAC -12 championship long ago.
Behind them and whitingham, with a growing era, hugging the portal a little more, the uts have been found in a potential star-in-the-making. new Mexico Transfer quarterbacks Devon dumpieWho arrived with the new aggressive coordinator, Jason Bake from Albuquerk. The familiarity of the pair with each other immediately paid the dividend, as the crime in the new form converted 14 out of 16 and easily dropped the ground down.
Dampier, especially, was electric at Rose Bowl, completed 21 out of 25 passes for 206 yards, and two touchdowns running for 87 yards and another score. Every time he touched the ball, Junior from Phoenix was a one-wandering, ignited the crime of Uuts with a kind of enthusiasm, which was lacking in recent years, while there was a sideline with rising injuries.
“She is a highlight film that is waiting for it,” Whitingham said about Dampier.
Stout Utah Raksha also played his role under Whitingham and Defense Coordinator Morgan Scally, boast of players like Cornerback to just 10 points Smith Snowden And lineback Lander BartonBoth of them moonlight on crime and a touchdown. Big 12 appears to be on paper, one of the most widespread conferences this year. But if the uterus continues to play in this way, they can quickly find themselves favorite. , Paolo Ugageti
