Those drops really sucked the wind out of the team. That 4th down play was awful.Wow, they are covering James Washington, one of the best receivers in the NCAA one on one, and giving him a massive cushion, and he drops the 1st one, and whiffs on the second one. And now another whiff on third down by the running back out of the backfield. The drop on 1st down was brutal.
First road win verse a non-MAC team to be fair. With that win Umass at 4-7 has secured its best FBS record ever. That is both really sad but also a nice little sign. They have won 4 out their 5 last games with their only loss away to currently #17 Mississippi State (their 39 point loss to Auburn will probably end that ranking) with their backup QB starting. All in all not bad for a team that has essentially been a garbage fire since the moved up. Baby steps.UMass with a nice win over BYU, first road win over an FBS team since UMass moved up.
Yeah, I'm hardly a talent scout, but I love Rosen as a prospect.How anyone could watch this game and conclude Darnold is a better prospect than Rosen is beyond me.
Rosen is going through progressions, making good reads, anticipating routes well, and nearly inch perfect on many of his passes.
Darnold is hitting his primary reads or panicking.
Of course this guarantees CLE will pass over him.
These have been my sentiments all season. There is the issue of USC offensive line having a lot of injuries, but even if that's the case, check two reads then get out of the pocket and throw it away. Instead he panics and either hangs in there too long without looking anywhere, or launches it. He has 11 INTs, and worse, 9 fumbles, not sure if he has small hands or just that he gets hit a lot, (or I guess a combo of the two).How anyone could watch this game and conclude Darnold is a better prospect than Rosen is beyond me.

To be fair to Gundy, 8-4 seasons might be the peak for Oklahoma State. If he averages that that should be fine.Gundy should take the first job offer out of Stillwater to cash in before the bloom is totally off.
