Wimsatt played a good game today. He was much more accurate and made good decisions. He also made some good runs against a very good defense.

He is not going to win us games but he is not the reason we lose either.
I'm not on the GW train, but I would agree he was not the reason we lost this one he made some nice throws. I have a bigger issue with the play calling. They are doing the kid a disservice by limiting his throws to obvious passing downs. Let him get some easy throws on early downs to back the defense off a bit. I get that the running game is still our stronger area, but mix it up a little man. And you're NEVER going to beat a team like PSU without taking at least a few aggressive shots down the field. Expecting to go on 80 yards drives all day is absurd. You might hang for a while like we did but you're never going to win that way.
I don’t think that was his fault. The WR seemed lost there.
I agree. GW played well against a really good opponent.
Stop making excuses. They showed the replay twice. He never looked at anyone else especially the corner who knew it was coming
It was against a blitz. He had the right read. WR need to read the blitz and make himself available.
He will not win us any games with his arm.
This is where we must move to the next level or be stuck with a meddling offense.
Need to bring in a new QB
Passed well, ran well - looked in command - his best game that I've seen.
Only complaint is that his mesh with RBs can look kinda raw and not polished yet

Once a couple of our linemen went down it changed the game. He played well.
The moronic announcers said WR ran a bad route. Didn’t look that bad at all. Even if arguable the pass was bad and probably a bigger issue.
The fumble also looked like it was on Gavin.
10 for 16 for 130 yards isn’t good.
Why do we have to jump through these mental gymnastics to say he played well. We have scored one TD in 12 quarters.
I actually thought receivers had separation today.
I haven’t rewatched it but it seemed Wimsatt expected the WR to cut off the route for a back shoulder throw?
Miscommunication?
My take was that he underthrew the receiver (you can see the receiver stop) because of the blitz and the defender cut underneath. It could have happened even to a pro quarterback.
He’s right. That was on the WR. He needs to break the route off
This ^^^^ We go into every game with a top tier opponent with a distinct disadvantage with Wimsatt at QB. Yes, he does have the potential during the course of the game to have a good series or two, but we need much more out of that position if we are truly going to take the next step up.
Not how it works. HC dictates where the NIL goes. We’re all in with GW, he broke the bank.
Obviously the first drive was scripted probably spent every rep this week working on those 3 passes on that drive
After that when he had to make reads adjustments move in the pocket have awareness he failed square peg round hole
His ten yard run should have been at least 20, he has zero vision, he had a block on the outside to take the sideline instead he ran right into an unblocked defender
He can’t roll he is a QB disaster
Could also blame at least 1 fumble on his lack of pocket awareness
And his interception was true to form
TIME to MOVE ON!
It was Freshman Strong. He should realize it was a blitz and cut his route shorter and come back to the ball.
Our play calling leaves a lot to be desired.
Wrong
Just look at replay
Guy covering Strong rushed in for blitz
GW read it and threw quickly to Strong
But Strong didn’t come back for the ball
Awful pass. The Third Year QB still threw it but throw the WR under the bus. He didn’t read anything. DB read Gavin’s eyes. Fumble was Kyle’s fault too right? SMH. And he threw for all of 130 yards. In what world is that a good game? Is the bar that low now? 1 Td in 12 quarters. Can’t argue separation today. WRS were open and made some nice catches of some inaccurate highly thrown balls but why quibble?

After 24 games he continues to make critical mistakes and can’t read Defenses.
Time for another QB next season
We’ll, still think you’re wrong
Of course QB is looking his way
WR was the hot receiver off the blitz…he should have turned back rather than drifting up field
His primary responsibility is to catch the the ball while his man was blitzing
Nothing that you wrote in that rant changes the fact WR was wrong. You can think Gavin isn’t the answer AND blame others when they mess up
If you are blaming the freshman WR on a pass that was poorly thrown and that the WR should have somehow read and broke rather than the third year QB you’re just as wacky as the announcers.
If you are blaming Kyle for the fumble after watching that replay well have at it.
If you think 10-16 with some acrobatic catches by receivers for only 130 yards is good…
Your Rant is equally wrong.
So curb your smugness.
1 TD in 12 quarters is a problem
Back breaking turnovers every loss with one constant is a bigger problem. Want to know what that constant is?
That’s not a rant. Facts.

I didn’t write a rant. I said pick was WR’s fault. It was. The rest is you trying to justify your argument Based on other plays. I don’t care if one’s a freshman and one is 3rd year, WR was wrong. My middle school WR’s knew to do that. Just accept the reality of it and move on
Looked better in this game than he has in most of his other games. Still a pretty low bar.
Watching that play in real time it is downright nutty to blame WR. It was a poorly thrown ball. It was cornerback reading that pass not the freshman WR getting back or cutting the route fast enough to prevent the interception. In the desire to protect the QB throwing WR under the bus. Spare me the middle school analogy. Big boy football.
More importantly Response was to String titled QB played a good game.
Three turnovers and 130 yards passing is a good game? Have we lowered bar that far???

It was a safety who had the pick. The CB blitzed. The WR is supposed to shorten his route or stay at the LOS.
What fumble was the result of a lack of pocket awareness? This should be good. Lol
After 24 games show me one ?
How many winning teams have we beaten = none
I confess GW's first half (around 40 yds on 7 carries) was better than the second but the whole team kinda gassed-out in 2nd half.
