So much for that "non D1 qb". 532 yards passing 5td's 2int's
- Thread starter ThePunish-EER
- Start date
Yep this QB showed everyone. Expect All American seasons the next two years. I'm sure the Bowl performance is what should be expected from Sky in the defense challenged Big12. Hop on the bus boys it's gonna be back to the top 15 for a Sky lead WVU!!!
Doesn't matter at all! He had over 500 yards against ASU with 5 TDs. Enough said.
Are you really that big of a hypocrite that you tell someone to do a "modicum of research" and then post completely made-up stats for Howard? Howard's TD/Int numbers were 26/14, good enough for the #60 QB rating in the country...
Haha! I completely missed you putting him in his place on the numbers, until after I replied...You and I are "low information" fans.![[laughing]](http://l.yimg.com/j/assets/img/emoticons/classic/laugh.r191677.gif "Laughing [laughing]")
Next thing will be the personal attacks saying how we hate Howard. Hell, I really like Howard and wish everyone had his grit, toughness, drive, and work ethic. Hopefully he makes the strides Trickett did between his last two years. A 10 percent higher competition percentage and the better decision-making that comes with experience/study and he would be a hell of a qb...You and I are "low information" fans.
A bottle of grape soda sounds pretty good right now. And some pickles. Just can't get good pickles out here in Kansas.
Skyler has proven to be totally erratic and inconsistent. He had outstanding numbers in the 1st three games, giving us hope he could be a good QB. Then he started tanking, missing wide open receivers all over the field. I am happy he had a great day and we won the bowl game, but lets not go overboard. Even during this game he fell back into his old habit of overthrowing wide open receivers which is a recipe for interceptions.
The problem she has is that I called her on the telephone and asked if she would bring me another grape soda. Heck, I didn't see a problem.
pseudo WVU fans.... that's funny.
Ever tailgated at 6:00am? In a parking lot... for a bar? john is more than enough of a fan.
And to answer your question. D1-A QB? Sure. Power 5 Conference Starter? Not in my opinion. 55% for the season is not going to cut it next year, and will not get this team to a 10 win season.
Uh, Skylar's 5:2 is NOT great. Ben's ratio is NOT good. He is considered good partially because of the times he has had a much better ratio. If that were his ratio every year he would NOT be considered good. Thanks for the attempt at "helping" me with the suggestion I research this.
I see a lot of bashing and gnashing of teeth on this board over stupid trivial BS. I honestly think half of this boards members are 18-30 year olds with the maturity of a five year old. That said, I find valid points on both sides of most arguements. The QB situation on the other hand makes me wonder about our backups, our so called "highly recruited" backups. It was announced by Dana that Howard was playing very banged up and hurt the last 4-5 games. Us not knowing that caused some major concerns with Howard's ability. Once we learned he was hurt, the differences in his performance was explained, but that doesn't explain why we blew a redshirt on one of our highly recruited QBs just to have him play a couple games at receiver, and it also begs the question, how bad do these backups have to be is a severely hurting QB is still a better option than our "highly recruited" backups?
I'm 34 and I have always enjoyed every WVU victory my whole life no matter who it came against. Guess I just never will know what it's like to not be satisfied with a W. Meanwhile I'm going to enjoy this season and bowl win after low national expectations and look forward to 2016. :cool2:

opcorn:[cheers]:boxing:[WVU]I'm not trying to take sides, but it should be noted that Arizona State's pass defense was the worst in D-1.
Quit being a downer! Sky is going to dominate the Big12 next year and WVU will win the Big12 and make the playoffs and I think win the Nat Title. It's gonna be awesome!!!
Yep another good year in Morgantown for you to trash talk. I can appreciate your trash talk though. Always cracks me up reading about how bad Sky is and how Holgy should be fired. But you go pal!!!
I doubt your visits are for your entertainment. I think its more about being insecure about your own favorite team. Every time something good happens for WVU, you can guarentee some Pitt troll will come here to piss on everyone's wheaties. As for my criticism of Coach DH and Sky. Both my perogative as a WVU Fan and Grad....so Suck it!
In that game on that night against that team without the benefit of the things you suggest he could have had around 700 yards passing just by being more accurate. And no ... it's not silly.
Well it is. The fact that nobody else did that this year should suggest just how stupid your premise is.1600 games and not one quarterback throw for 700 yards. Only one qb throw for more yards against ASU (10 more) and he is rated in the top 3 for QBs in this years draft. Silly is perhaps not strong enough to describe your ignorance. He played a nice game. Drop your agenda and enjoy it.
No. You drop your agenda. He missed a number of wide open receivers.
Just because no one else passed for around 700 yards does not mean that numerous wide open guys weren't missed by Sky. It was there for everyone to see.
In THAT game on THAT night against THAT team a more accurate QB could have passed for around 700 yards. THAT opportunity may never present itself again. But it was there on THAT night. And THAT is my only point.
Man you are something aren't you. Can't kick the basketball team or Huggs so you rail on our QB. Perfection by one player out of 11 would not have gotten 700 yards. Did he miss a receiver because a defense was putting pressure on him THAT night? Did his receivers drop some balls or not run at full speed to catch it THAT night? It is ignorant first to think he could get 700 yards but it is beyond anyone's imagination that your knowledge is so poor as to think only Skyler kept himself from getting 700 yards. You are just silly and evidently a fool.
You want me to kick Huggs? OK. I will.
If his program starts looking a circus again, with him doing the drunken stumble in the center ring, the howling will be resurrected. That good enough for you? And, as I have said many times, If Huggs maintains a relatively stable program and his team is competitive on the court you won't hear the howling. But Huggs got nothing to do with this.
In my opinion, on THAT night against THAT team in THAT game a more accurate QB could have made a serious run at 700 yards passing. And I base that on numerous inaccurate passes that could have easily accounted for another 100-150 yards or more.
There were 23 incomplete passes in that game. If that number is reduced to say, 15, meaning another 8 completions, and considering that he completed 28 passes for 532 yards at 19 yards a completion, if you multiple an additional 8 completions by 19 yards you get an extra 152 yards. 532 + 152 = 684 yards. (BTW completing 36 of 51 passes would have been a completion percentage of 70%.
You telling me that no one has every completed 70% of their passes in a game? Look at THIS and see that a number of college quarterbacks had CAREER completion percentages right around 70%. Look at the Top Ten on that list and see how many of those guys some guy named Dana Holgorsen coached.
I understand that you disagree with me. And that's OK. But quit making yourself look silly. 50 Division 1 quarterbacks finished THE SEASON with higher QB ratings than Howard had in that bowl game. The better passers at the upper end of the QB rating scale could have made a serious run at 700 yards in THAT game on THAT night. And those 70% career completion guys could have made a run at 700 on THAT night too.
I'm glad that we won and that Sky had a big game. But let's not act like it was an amazing performance. It wasn't. But it was good.
And now.... I'm out.
You may now console yourself with more name calling and raising issues that have nothing to do with the Cactus Bowl and the ability of superior college football quarterbacks.
One more thing .... go ahead and lecture me again about my knowledge and I promise to not respond and let you have the last word.
See how nice I can be?

I happen to agree that his stats could have been better and that he did (badly) miss some throws that would have been for a lot of yards. I just happen to think your math is a bit flawed...which isn't a big deal. You'd be counting many yards twice to get to that 684 total. ....unless he didn't gain yards on those drives where he had poor passes.
THAT is your opinion but as Oracle has pointed out it is bad math. Could Skyler had more yards that night? Yes but to say he should have had 700 yards, more than any player did during the whole season is silly and flawed. To further say it is only on him and the other 10 guys on the field had no role in keeping him from achieving what no one else did this year is just plain ignorant. Now THAT is my opinion. And hey it was you who decided to flame this back up after a week. Now if you would have said he could have had 600 yards THAT night I would have agreed with you.
How you could possibly confuse me with a poster with the name 'Oracle' is beyond my comprehension.. ..but thx for understanding how Hurdy would be using redundant numbers.

THIS
its also interesting the "anti Dana" crowd forgets we lost one of our starting WR's (Durante) and a starting DB (Worley) for the bowl game. They point out we won by only 1 point to a 6-6 ASU team, yet they forget we were missing key players. Not surprising, they forgot we lost arguably our best player (Karl Joseph) on the team for the entire season in game 4. And they still bitched and complained. Truth is, Dana and WVU had a great year considering this. Nobody picked WVU to win 8 games before the season. Dana may deserve a raise.
lmao show me a legit source besides sports treaty or hanks grocery stand review. Besides, even if it were legit your "source" said 8-10 wins. We had 8 wins numbnuts lol
nice source numbnuts lol. "Very winnable games against Tcu and Baylor", "with Texas being the most difficult". Lmao!!!
You said nobody and what is a legit source? Put down the glue and paper bag you huffer
Its called preseason predication's. Look up in the dictionary what nobody means airmac
