lRead this some where relates to top 100 recruits and number of five stars.

Texas 52 recruits  5  5*  Fla.  51 rec.   4  5* seems about right. Then Alabama  19 rec.   6 *  Calif.  21 rec.   5  5* Missouri   9 rec.  2 5*

Eh, Casey faded in the 4th just as we saw last year.

How so? Intersept hit WR in the hands.

He still hasn't figured out that you don't need to throw a fastball at 8-10 yards.  That is the difference between a good QB (Thompson) and being really good to great.  Have to have different velocity for different situations. 

I remember telling my QB that he needs to take a little off some his throws in those in close quarters.

You are proably right, most QBS throw a fast ball over the middle and touch on swings and in the flat.

We will see how Ewers does in a week.

Both of Casey's Ints today were near the hands of the receiver but both were not very catchable balls.

His 2nd half stat line (especially if you look after the circus play he made to connect on a 60 yard pass after a long scramble) was atrocious.

First one zipped by the WRs head before he could get his eyes and hands up. It was in the catch radius for sure but the WR wasn't ready for the ball to be on him that quickly.

The 2nd, loss clinching int, was thrown behind the WR, also with a lot of pace. Could have been caught but definitely not a very catchable ball.

He also under threw an open deep ball (pass interfence was called) and over throw another. Casey and Hudson were both really bad at the deep ball last year. They both ranked somewhere around 140th in the nation on the deep ball.

Your are right terrible throws bounced off reciever hands for i terception.?

 

[NEOkHorn]

Wasn’t there like a mock game yesterday? If so, any reports?

No, you're eyesight is probably fine. It's your sentence structure that needs serious help.

Both balls did hit the receiver's hands and technically that means the miss is on the receiver as they are coached on the premise "if it hits your hands, it was a catchable ball."

However, he is right in that Thompson put no touch on the ball, basically drilling it and reducing the receiver's ability to adjust to a pass thrown well behind them.
