I should add...

Conover led a big scoring drive for a field goal. TA was the one responsible for the other scoring drive. Still, Conover inherited an 11 point lead and won the game by 14.

I re-watched the USU game to see why some here thought Jacob Conover just doesn't have "it". He played well...

Such a small sample to judge someone, especially third string..

Probably because he doesn’t have the measurables not fast nor shifty,

Personal opinion but I don’t think BYU can afford to not have top level

"Doesn't have a cannon" - you sure about that? Ask anyone at practice - stronger arm than Jaren.

Pollster

Arm strength is definitely not one of his problems. Not sure where that idea came from

Bob Vance

And yet he's special enough for other reasons he was considered

SinkingQuffa

He does have a cannon; have you even watched him?

2FarGone

His release is impressive, & he gets a lot of air under his long ball.

He’s max hall. I loved max hall

The play calling was as conservative as absolutely possible. Many are taking

It was after the first couple of drives where he looked lost.

Yes, the team didn't perform well for him either.

Most people forget how much Zach struggled in his 1st start vs. No. Illinois

RockyBalboa

1st start was Hawaii.

Thanks for the correction.

RockyBalboa

1/20/22 1:12pm

Sorry if it came off as snotty, didn't mean for it to be.

CougtheCreator

1/20/22 1:13pm

It didn't. My memory isn't what it used to be, so I appreciate that you knew.

RockyBalboa

1/20/22 1:45pm

Sorry, but I don't think he looked good at all. He threw it to the wrong guy and it took them until the 4th drive to

Pretty funny comment

To be fair, with ZW we heard about his “IT” for a long time before he started a game

dryflyelk

1/20/22 12:59pm

There was a lot of noise about how he carved up the defense as scout team QB.

Lance71

1/20/22 1:09pm

Any 3rd string QB can carve up our defense

stoils

And then there was the biggest sign that he had “it…”

Too small of a sample size, but he showed well. He seems a bit average (or below) with mobility, but he has the

I have no opinions on Conover - too small a sample size, but from what I've seen, most of the negativity towards him...

krindorr

1/20/22 1:29pm

What the reports out of practice that he was torching our first team defense repeatedly?

2FarGone

1/20/22 1:42pm

Love Conover, but the UAB qb was torching our defense.

CougtheCreator

1/20/22 1:47pm

No one can objectively say that was our first team defense. That’s ridiculous.

deliciousmocha

Heard the exact same thing last year coming out of fall camp. That is why Jaren got the nod - better ball security.

Pollster

1/20/22 2:08pm

I know it was a small sample size and that I shouldn't read into it very much,

Perseguir

It's really pretty simple- anyone who can make such claims has ZERO credibility

Major point - he improved as the game went along in his first game.

He stares down his receivers.
