Early returns on Sefo

D2 started the crappy oline trend. As you know, we were once known for always having good olines.

Sefo looks good in the pocket but he has not seen a real pressure defense yet. It is really too early to tell, Charleston Southern is like playing a HS team and against Arizona his stats were not near as good.
You are right. Pigeon was a curse on this program. Ugh!!!D2 started the crappy oline trend. As you know, we were once known for always having good olines.
I agree with you. He could step into many throws but otherwise he has good arm strength.
I thought I heard him pronounce it in a way that rhymes with "Dead-Ho Moo-Cow", and that's the way the radio guys say it. Besides, dead hoes go better with AllBuffs.
Considering he's a true freshman and not QB'ing an otherwise decent group, he seems to be holding his own.
Allegedly. I heard Craig James got a membership immediately after we signed him. Hasn't been seen since.
Does have an upside. Holds on to the ball to long. Has to trust the receivers and let go of the ball to a spot on the field, they have to get to the ball. Needs to keep the ball and run more frequently just to make the defense honest. There was a # of plays where the receiver was open or just about to come open, by the time he released the ball, they were covered. He does seem to make the correct read most of the time, he is a freshman.
Disappointed in how our receivers don't come back to the ball when it is in the air.

Soft "E" instead of a hard "E" with the first name?
He really needed the RS year to improve his strength. The velocity will increase with his arm strength. So far he is not losing games for us. Not winning them either. Solid start for a true freshman, but will have to wait until halfway through next year to really know what we have IMO

If by soft you mean short (and if I am right, which is 50/50), then yes...sort of like "se-perate"
Man it is hard to find a comparable word...schoolhouse rock

I guess I was led to believe he could run and was going to be a prototypical Pac-12 type of QB.....given everything I've seen, either he's not very athletic and mobile, or for some reason the coaches are holding him entirely back.
He has shown some good pocket presence and is making the right reads, just a bit too late to pull the trigger which I would expect of a freshman

looking good. needs to push the ball down the field more. dink and dunk all day really hurts when we can't do **** in the red zone. but wow, he already looks competent and has improved drastically from his first two games.

Sefo is legit. He is the most important recruit we've had in years and,as far as I'm concerned, represents Embree's biggest contribution to the program. Mac needed to trust him more to pick up a few of those 3rd and shorts. Also, for those calling for him to run more - stop wishing for him to be Hundley, Mariota etc. He's not an explosive runner and that's fine, because he's going to be a damn good passer before its all said and done.
Regarding his running, I do think that as his body matures he's going to be a very big, strong QB. I could see him being able to run more like a Roethlisberger to avoid rush, extend plays by breaking some tackles, and getting some yards with his legs now and again. But he's not Braxton Miller.

Exactly. He's got an NFL skill set. Not sure Hundley's going to pan out at the next level....
He was pretty solid last night,best game he's had so far.Excited to see him grow in the program.
Sefo looks to be a good game manager. He's not going to win games with his arm strength and he stares down his receivers. He can improve the latter.
I like his poise in the pocket. The guy stands tall and steps into the pocket. He checks it down a bit too much, but he isn't throwing into triple coverage but a few times a game now.
What I do like about him more is his leadership. The guy got into a top DE's face and the OL got upset. He takes punishing hits and isn't backing down. Tough. Those intangibles are great.
If he does get beaten out in the future then I'll like the direction of the team. If he stays at QB he will have some good/great games.

Has a much quicker release and footwork than I ever imagined.
He also is a bit less athletic as a runner than I imagined.
He is accurate, poised, and plays with heart.
I think he is our QB for 4 years and we win bowl games before he is done.

Another great sign from Sefo last night:
There were consecutive plays in the 2nd half where he hit receivers on target, one where he was rolling left and the other where he was rolling right. If he can throw well on the move, that opens up the offense a lot. HCMM and Lindgren have talked a lot about what that did for SJSU with David Fales coming in and being so accurate when rolling out.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We need to recruit better qbs. The risk of playing a true frosh is that it'll be difficult to get a blue chipper. Hopefully Sefo becomes our Jake Locker and allows us to get back to bowl games. Hopefully this sets up possibly getting a high 3 * QB in two years.
He isn't getting ahead of himself, this guy will get us to a bowl. I wouldn't be surprised to see 2 more w's this year.
We are quick to anoint him. Cody beat OU at home remember after a we had Bjax leading the team the year prior. If he struggles next year then (backup QB if not wood) is our savior.
He has some good things working for him and some things to improve on. Let's see if this staff can develop a QB. Right now I'd say he needs to work on going through his progressions.

Don't think it's fair to compare him to Cody. Cody had a much better defense and special teams to help keep his games competitive that season.
Thought he looked as good as we can expect given the talent and OL he has around him. Made some really nice and accurate throws. Picked up some key 1st downs with a lot of pressure on him. Was not intimadated by ucla. Looking better each week. Remember that is what we have been asking for.
