No press.Was any media at the scrimmage to give some updates?
No press.
But I heard Bailey completed all of his passes. No TDs.
Maurer threw 3 TDs with 2 ints.
Hooker nothing completed downfield and had a few decent runs.
Slaughter is coming on at NB pretty good.
Joseph is beginning to settle in a MLB
Omari Thomas is making a case to start.
Jalin Hyatt had 2 TDs
Wright had a long 50 yard run.
Thats all I got....
Mauer is such an interesting prospect. Clearly have the confidence and tools, just needs to clean some things up.
HB makes good decisions, it’s yet to be seen if he has that confidence to ride on the edge. I think for him to be a top level QB he’s going to have to make good decisions and be less conservative...Whatever that means

Agreed.2 turnovers against a good team will get you beat more times than not
That's not altogether true either. A 3 and out is also a lost possession to the other team.Agreed.
The math is _not_ 3 TDs vs 2 Ints = +1 for us.
The math is, 2 Ints = 2 possession advantage to the other team. If we score on all our possessions but those 2 we gave up, and they score on all their possessions, they win by two scores. A game with no turnovers by definition means the two teams will have roughly the same number of possessions (within one). Lost possessions tilt the field in favor of the other team, and things can get out of hand quick.
The Ints are a killer. Maurer needs to reduce risk or all his TD throws aren't going to be enough to get him on the field on Saturdays.
4 years we haven't had more then 2 TDs passes in a game...maybe we are just in shock..this offense will be very different then beforeThat's not altogether true either. A 3 and out is also a lost possession to the other team.
All of this is situational.
Overall though I agree that Maurer has to cut down on the mistakes... if these INT's were in fact mistakes and not misplays by WR's or something like that.
For me, you'd rather be trying to rein a guy back at this point than pressing them to take more risks.
I wouldn't have complained if JG had thrown 3 TD's and a couple of picks depending on the situation if he'd been consistent in getting those 3 or 4 TD's. One of my biggest problems with his game was that he was so, so, so risk averse throwing the ball. He threw 6 TD's and 4 INT's last year in 7 games. That's pathetic.Generally, both stats not great...we know nothing about the scenarios to make a judgement. Maurer may have been running sets with downfield emphasis and HB may have been running more sets w/ concentration on shorter routes. Let's just say either of these QB's were JG in a game...we'd not be happy with 0 TD's or 3TD's w/ 2 INT's....maybe we're rushing well RB's push in the end zone, and maybe our D hold the other team from scoring off the 2 INT's.
Someone posted a few days ago that on the NC campaign Heupel QB'd he had 30 TD's and 15 INT's, I mean just for sense of what may be tolerable to Coach.
