i kinda think Brown decides to give or take the ball BEFORE the snap. IDK.Palolo_2LA wrote: ↑Sun Sep 10, 2017 10:27 pm I was in the burning hot sun at the Rose Bowl and saw the C MCD run against their backups on D...he ran kinda awkwardly, not an elegant runner.
MCD isnt going to eclipse Brown..so the dark horse is Tui at QB. Brown should have ran at least 5 times , but read wrong and DSJ ran into a brick wall.
I don't care if he's not a stylish runner that boy can run. Even if it's against UCLA's backup let me tell you those backups were highly rated out of high school so I don't think they were slow runners.Palolo_2LA wrote: ↑Sun Sep 10, 2017 10:27 pm I was in the burning hot sun at the Rose Bowl and saw the C MCD run against their backups on D...he ran kinda awkwardly, not an elegant runner.

That awkward running will get your head taken off is the main point and he wasn't protecting the ball properly is the other. Those 2nd string guys are talented to be @ UCLA, but they are not starts for a reason and most have limited game experience, so they are more likely to take bad angles, have crappy fundaments and perhaps not accustomed to game speed.amela wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2017 10:08 pmI don't care if he's not a stylish runner that boy can run.

When I saw him running I thought of former UH QB Greg Alexander.Palolo_2LA wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2017 4:40 amThat awkward running will get your head taken off is the main point and he wasn't protecting the ball properly is the other.

Hopefully these 2 HS QBs for 2018 can be the answer down the road. Brown definitely lacks arm threat, accuracy at times and a misreads on the option run plays. MCD and the other Cole have crappy throwing motions. When the other Cole was warming up, his delivery seemed like an unnatural motion with a bunch of upper body movement, besides throwing a ugly , sinking ball.
Sorry Palolo, just didn't see any awkward running, even went back to watch the replay. Maybe because he's so quick at 6'-4", but that 58 yard run looked fine to me, how he outran the UCLA defense, (even if it wasn't UCLA's starters.) He even shifted the ball to his right side to protect the ball from defenders on his left.Palolo_2LA wrote: ↑Wed Sep 13, 2017 4:40 amThat awkward running will get your head taken off is the main point and he wasn't protecting the ball properly is the other.
