Very rarely do you see a QB lose a game for his team without being a turnover machine as bad as Hoover did today. Feels like he left at least 10 completions and 100 yards on the field by just whiffing shit.

Not to mention only throwing deep into double coverage the last couple drives and needlessly pushing the ball to the sideline on that last one (although the blame is split a little bit. Gotta try to toe tap that).

Sidenote: between our game and this one, I do feel decently confident enough to say OSU may be cooked if they ever run into a strong passing game on a day where their QB isn’t eating crayons.

The numbers for Hoover compared to the eye test is a mile wide. similar-ish numbers to Mendoza, but he just isnt a good QB at this level. He cant hit WR’s in stride and he sucks at going through his progressions.

Too inaccurate against good defenses and a bit too locked in on Charlie imo. I feel like all season Marsh has won routes and just not gotten the ball or Hoover has thrown it to him and missed him
