Looked up the Oregon Boise game.
Starter was 17-40 for 148. 1 td no int. Pathetic 3.7 yards per attempt. Even w a great run game. Offense scoring 34. Put up these numbers.
And it wasn’t Nelson. This is the guy who beat him out.
Even better. This guy Madsen is a sophomore.
So not only does Nelson transfer to a group of 5 in the middle of nowhere. He doesn’t win the job. And is sitting behind a soph and could be for the next 3 years.
wonder if they paid him any money? Sounds like a bust at two schools.
In the portal again.
Very surprising because the guy seemed to be hand picked by Riley to be his future QB. Riley came across state lines to recruit him. Watching his low energy performances in HS made me wonder why, but who am am I to question Riley about his QB choice. The starter putting up those pathetic numbers might give Nelson a chance to play later in the season. But yeah, if you’re gonna hold the clipboard, USC just seems like a better sideline.
Did Oregon load the box against Boise St?
If the starter continues to struggle and Nelson doesn’t replace him….. then we’ll know for sure. But yeah, pretty much what was being said about Nelson after he transferred…. “Bust”,,, and not just from a physical standpoint
