One could say that by Zach coming to BYU and starting as a freshman and sophomore was what enabled him to make the huge leap of improvement between his soph and jr years.

Up until Kiffin and then Sark, Bama hasn’t exactly had the most QB friendly OCs.

Seems like the until Hurts and Tua the Alabama QB has been horrible at throwing.

My thoughts as well. Zach easily starts at every SEC school

Not at every Pac12 School though, he wouldn't even scratch the two deep at one

I think there is no doubt that Zach came to the right school for him

Completely agree. It's more important to get playing to get to the NFL than to be on an elite team

Zenoch

I would argue that being on an elite team hurts QB development

They had a pretty back and forth game with Ole Miss as well.
