No pass rush, and nothing over the middle, which is what tests the mettle of a QB. Those videos are nice though I guess.

Tell me again how Conover isn't very good

ratherberoping

he makes those long throws look effortless

Cougarclaw

Destroying fake narratives one 11 second video at a time!

DieHarder

8/5/22 10:37am

With no pass rush. haha

deliciousmocha

8/5/22 4:15pm

Really? Using a video of two passes thrown without any pressure as evidence?

RH84025

8/5/22 10:37am

Dude's got tools. I've been saying it since he was recruited.

ratherberoping

8/5/22 11:44am

So do hundreds or QBs that are not successful in D1. Nothing can really be

RH84025

Said it perfectly. But rooting for him.

Lombardi

anxiety is no joke for some people. Mangum was so impressive his freshman year..

icecougar

8/5/22 1:39pm

Well, he was recruited by the following schools -

84 natlchamps

8/5/22 1:28pm

Jake heaps was the same way

1984coug

8/5/22 2:41pm

Now get him to do that in a game.

John Doe

8/5/22 10:38am

I'm sure he'll get that opportunity sometime this year.

runnincoug

8/5/22 10:40am

Hasn't he only played in one game....

WJCougar

8/5/22 10:46am

Yep. Don't know if it's the coaches being too conservative or if they just didn't trust him yet

John Doe

8/5/22 10:50am

I thought he played fine against USU

Cougforgood

8/5/22 10:55am

As do I.

John Doe

8/5/22 11:12am

Count me in as well. It was his first time, on the road.

ratherberoping

8/5/22 11:45am

Yeah. And the coaches went conservative to "not lose"

HoustonTXCoug

8/5/22 11:56am

Of course they didnt trust him. Was his first game ever.

WJCougar

8/5/22 10:58am

Sure. They do that with every young QB.

John Doe

8/5/22 11:14am

Did Conover play vs. UAB

Jizosh

8/5/22 11:10am

Magathis

8/5/22 1:21pm

Hey, but he was home from the mish 6 months! 4* kids gotta seize

SinkingQuffa

8/5/22 11:46am

If Jaren Hall has a great year, then this will most likely be QB1 in 1st year in

No pass rush, and nothing over the middle, which is what tests the mettle of a QB. Those videos are nice though I guess.

It would be worse if he couldn’t make those throws. We can say that

SouthernBlueBlood

8/5/22 10:44am

7 on air is different than live reps. Not saying either way but I mean showing

kotacoug

8/5/22 10:47am

Those throws are pretty pretty, hope he’s ready to go as a backup this year

GlutealGuy

8/5/22 10:51am

Don't think we know much of anything about Conover yet

Dr T-bone

8/5/22 10:52am

Geez there’s a lot of wobble on those throws

Big12Yfan

8/5/22 11:12am

Ty Detmer: "I was thinking just the opposite."

SinkingQuffa

8/5/22 11:27am

That first ball was a thing of beauty. dropped nose down right into WRs hands

Captain Stubing

8/5/22 11:41am

Looked wobbly to me

Big12Yfan

8/5/22 11:44am

That little bit of wobble doesn’t matter much. If it’s on the money, it’s on the money. A true duck is a little harder

mvtoro

8/5/22 12:09pm

I don’t dispute that at all

Big12Yfan

8/5/22 1:12pm

Played with a D1 QB in HS. Actually, a really tight spiral can zip right through

Parker Schnabel

8/5/22 2:46pm

I don’t know if I’d go that far. If you can throw it tight, throw it tight. It’s true that taking a little velocity off

mvtoro

8/5/22 4:19pm

we talkin' 'bout practice

byujag

8/5/22 11:16am

I don't think anyone here wants him to fail. We all want him to be the next star

Machiavelli

8/5/22 11:35am

And he is blazing fast. Not only did he make the throw (#17) on the first pass

87cougs

8/5/22 11:42am

Who caught those - Kyson Hall and Epps?

Captain Stubing

8/5/22 11:43am

Thought maybe the first one was Terrence Fall?

icecougar

8/5/22 1:43pm

those throws look great

lukeskywalker

8/5/22 11:53am

We all know the real reason they were bad throws, per ARod all deep balls need

byublue42

8/5/22 12:46pm

I think A-Rod philosophy is more "err on the side of underthrowing"

Machiavelli

8/5/22 1:11pm

Nice

Cougarpride

8/5/22 1:28pm

Who said that and why do you want to hear it again?

JordanSpieth

8/5/22 2:12pm

It was in the nuggets from camp post, and several piled on

ratherberoping

8/6/22 11:24am

I played with John Beck all through highschool and when I mentioned him as a great get, BYU fans would pooh pooh him

mvtoro

8/6/22 7:55pm

There isn’t a QB at any depth level in college football that shouldn’t be able

Blue2thebone

a Terence Fall sighting... He seems healthy... I wonder if he'll contribute?
