Missing film sessions and summer workouts with trainers and the team is a challenge in his preparation. Not being able to join the team until the 3rd or 4th day of fall camp will further delay his development at QB. It's much more than learning a playbook and Johnny Manzel type chaos. Chemistry and timing have to be coupled with pre-snap decisions at the line of scrimmage and working through progressions with lightning speed after the ball is snapped. We're not in Division II here. This is big boy football on one of the top programs in P5 football with the most challenging conference schedule in the nation. Will he be ready before conference starts? I don't think he came to Oregon to play scout QB but if Locke shows he can lead the Ducks at MSU, barring injury, he'll be our guy.
