Today was a big setback....for him and the program.
I'm beginnng to wonder what the coaching staff sees in Gavin.

They are giving him leeway that’s for sure but this should have been his time to actual lift your team with the legs if nothing else. All QBs with his type of athleticism do it . His arm is another story.
Two plays in that critical drive in the second half, down 6-0. On first down he got flushed and fumbled without being hit. It looked like we has trying to get the football into a position to throw it away and lost the handle on it.
Then, the next play, he was flushed out again and with a whole field in front of him, stopped and threw it ten yards out of bounds.
What's going on here? If he gets flushed, his instinct should be to run the ball down the field and take advantage of teh gap between him and the. overage.
Instincts are a huge part of playing QB. Its why undersized guys overactive and physically gifted guys never realize their potential.
We're not seeing a lot of naturally instinctive play from Gavin and after two years out there, it should definitely be a concern. He didn't play in a dynamic offense in HS, so a learning curve was guaranteed. But you just hate to see that when you're watching for development.

You should Rewatch that play. There is a D player right in front of him.
This was actually one of his better games before we had to be one dimensional. HW was 7/13 for 97 yds. Running game didn’t show up and OL played poorly. On GW int, we had to use 7 blockers for 4 rushers. Both WRs were double covered. We need to stay out of obvious passing downs. This is the reason coaches just call runs on 3rd and long
Iowa defender was in good position when he threw it away. He did have Dremel open though. I'm guessing he never saw him cause he wasn't the 1st option.
I thought he should have run with it, but rewinded it to see if he had a lane or not. Damn Iowa and their disciplined defense.

People used to complain that Teel never ran,
Then an interviwer asked Teel about it and he said "coach told me not to."
I can guess its the same with Wimsatt.
Two weekends in a row the announcers were saying Wimsatt should run more.
Only RU would go for a dual aspect QB and then not let him run when running might be his best weapon

Wimsatt is not the answer but RU needs to upgrade the receivers. I saw very little separation on any of the passes. Hard to throw the ball when the D is glue to the receiver.
Spot on
He is not a QB and never will be he lacks what is needed to become a QB
