Marc Wilson

250 for 427 3,720 yds 29 TDs 15 INTs (1979)

Jim McMahon
87 for 176 1,307 yds 6 TDs 8 INTs (1978)

After efficiency is more than 100 points better then Retzlaff. Yikes.

Or maybe guys more comparable like Engeman, Critchlow or Heaps (all with a good bit better passer ratings)

John Beck (Jr. year to Sr.) Zach Wilson (Soph to Jr.)

Hoping you were going to say Riley Nelson

Of course Wilson and McMahon would improv by a ton…they weren’t splitting

Wilson stunk so bad that LaVell benched him and McMahon wasn’t any better

There were injuries and Wally English had a horrible offensive scheme.

I am guessing the scheme has not changed, but hopefully the blocking scheme

Can we do Brett Engemann or Lance Pendleton since they are more recent

Jaren Hall is probably most recent…

Jaren Hall never had a Jake Retzlaff season. You're missing what Indy is doing

1978 was my freshman year. It was painful. We lost to both Utah and USU. Wilson and McMahon were bad.

Splitting time with QBs is rarely a good thing.

Sitake just needs time to get his guys

Mangum or Riley Nelson?

May 16, 10:26pm

I believe Tollner or Scovil left after ‘77

May 16, 10:32pm

Wally English was OC in 78. Scoville replaced him following year.

FYI, English went to Pittsburgh as OC where they finished 11-1 in 79 and 80 and won the Fiesta Bowl and Gator Bowl.

And BYU was 11-1 and 12-1 with Scoville. Win-win.

There is hope! GO COUGS!

And in Wilson/McMahon’s case, a better OC

With and innovative offense and hall of fame HC. Opposite of what we have now
