On their way to draft immortality, the 2018 QB draft class continues to shit the bed...
Oregon State senior QB Luke Falk completed 17-of-34 passes for 197 yards and three touchdowns in a 28-0 demolishing of Colorado on Saturday.
Falk also ran for 41 yards, as the 6-foot-4, 223-pound quarterback had all day to throw and took off when necessary. While the three touchdowns are great, this was not a strong game from the senior QB. Anytime he had to make a throw that wasn't the first read, he struggled with accuracy, and Colorado dropped multiple interceptions. Still, even in a "bad" game, there were moments of brilliance for the potential first-round pick. Falk and the Cougs get Arizona next.
Wyoming redshirt junior QB Josh Allen completed just 12-of-27 passes for 131 yards with a touchdown and two picks in a 24-14 loss to Boise State on Saturday.
Allen (6'5/233) was able to run for 61 yards with a one-yard touchdown as well. It's the third time this year the junior quarterback has failed to complete at least 50 percent of his passes. Yes, he's playing with a short deck compared to the other first-round candidates at the position, but there's no denying that Allen needs to be better with his accuracy, timing and decision-making. He gets a date with New Mexico next week.
USC redshirt sophomore QB Sam Darnold completed 20-of-28 passes for 229 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Saturday's 49-14 loss to Notre Dame.
Not only did Darnold and the Trojans get blasted off the field, the future NFL-er sustained an ankle injury in the second half and sat out most of the fourth quarter due both to that concern and a lopsided score. We'll update Darnold's health as information becomes available. He's had his moments this season, but on the whole, it's been a tough campaign for the redshirt sophomore, particularly in terms of his decision-making.
UCLA junior QB Josh Rosen completed 20-of-34 passes for 214 yards with no touchdowns and three interceptions in a 47-30 loss to Arizona on Saturday.
Simply put, this was an awful game for Rosen. He struggled with passes in every facet -- short, intermediate, long -- and on a day where UCLA (again) couldn't stop the run, his three turnovers doomed the Bruins. This loss not only makes it tougher for UCLA to win the Pac-12 South, it also could cause his draft stock to take a big hit. Rosen will try to get back on track next week against Oregon next week.
