No QB change?
Not that I expect an answer, but hopefully someone asks Kirk tomorrow how long the leash is for Petras.

Kirk made that obvious after game. If he changes his mind, we probably won’t know til warmup on saturdayNo QB change?
OL going to be a work in progress for awhile. Even when it gets better I don’t expect anything from this offense
Maybe, but unless the trenches improve, there’s only so much you can expect from the skill positions.
I expect the QB to complete passes to open receivers under minimal to mild pressure.
I hope you don’t really think this.
He doesn’t care what we think, nor should he.
I do too. I’m by no means excusing Petras - he was poor.
I expected the offense to be ugly when I saw we were only playing primarily 1 scholarship receiver, down a RB, and otherwise relying on walk on receivers who had zero game experience.
what we got was far worse than I expected.
Ha no…. Figured the sarcasm was implied when mentioning Bb and Oliver.
I honestly think he spends 30 seconds or less on it.
A lot can change in 4 days anyways.

Pretty high error rate for a post consisting of two sentences.
Down a RB made no difference. Missing open Receivers was not because guys were out
It's been lingering since the bowl game. Don't think he has seriously practiced since then
It's the chicken or the egg scenario. The O-line play wasn't great, but how much of that was due to SDSU loading the box? A QB with the yips is no threat to making passes down field.
Idk if I was unfortunately all that surprised by Spencer, thought I thought he’d be marginally more competent at least. What did shock me was how frequently blockers just whiffed on guys. judging by the major shuffling we saw on the depth chart there, Kirk saw that as well.
Yeah everything was bad. All of us non-informed fans see the overthrows/bad passes. The issue was how many plays (run and pass) had zero chance to succeed because they were not blown up by poor blocking. Most emblematic was the rollout pass called in the second half on like 3rd and 4. Against the coverage they were getting it should have been an easy completion to Bruce. But the RG lets a guy come right across his face, the center can't reach the guy and one DL who does nothing super special on the play is right in Petras' lap and hits him as he throws. All the line has to do there is literally get in the guy's way for a second and there will be enough time to throw the ball. Amazing.
Hopefully there is some improvement with Colby back at RG this week and with another game for the center.
Yeah that’s my primary hope for g2 - that the OL issues had as much to do with several guys getting their first game snaps at their respective positions as anything else.
Yeah, I hope this isn’t one of those situations where they suddenly announce a retirement from football?…
My understanding is that this is not the same injury as the bowl game - abdominal strain I think?
Not sure they’ve publicly said what this injury is tho.
I believe I've read other places it is a hamstring and ab strain was for bowl.
Why does anyone care about what is on the depth chart. We have some weak-ass fans.
No shit. He's from the Bellicheck mold. He doesn't care that you don't like how he does his depth chart, nor that you don't like the way he wins.
What is his actual injury. I have never heard it or seen what it actually is...maybe I missed it.
Hearing some rumors that this may be more than just injury. Only rumors right now but doesn't sound good...
Not saying anymore than that because they're just rumors this point and I have no first hand knowledge.

I know exactly what rumors you're talking about and exactly where they started. They're bullshit.
If it is a core injury (abdominal or oblique) those can be a very long recovery period. Where literally the only thing to do is rest. Whatever it is, hope he gets better soon. I'm sure he is as frustrated as anyone by the inability to play.
Exactly what Kirk was speaking up when he said there are multiple issues. The old saying is it all starts up front. The Chicago Bears are gonna find that out this season also.
That's good to hear. Didn't want to give it a lot of cred since I heard it 2nd/3rd hand. Honestly, wouldn't shock me either though.
