The problem is Schiano could have Caleb Williams or Joe Burrow, and would still call the same plays. AK is an experienced QB with 17 Big 10 starts. I thought he looked good in his first game for us, but he is going to have to make much more difficult throws for us to beat good teams. As good as Monangai was last year, he had several games where he couldn’t get 50 yards. Against better teams, if they stuff our run, we are going to have to throw the ball down the field to win, and it would be good to have some live game action doing that before you are forced to try it out of necessity.
You may well be right but for now I’m just happy to see we have someone who can look for an open receiver under pressure. Gavin did not have the green light to do that for whatever reason. He was programmed to throw it away if option one was well covered.
