Definitely not, but I think we need to see Shelley against some better defenses to get a better idea. Oregon and Colorado aren’t exactly great defensively.
The thing I love about Shelly so far is his poise. Tyler would get happy feet pretty much anytime he was in the pocket. Shelly is super calm and doesn’t show to be nervous at all.
He needs to take the runs when he has them. We could have had more points before half if he ran for the sticks instead of trying for a difficult play to Dixon.
A Huntley led offense would have put up 40 or more the last two weeks. He was on fire before he went down. The Utes were moving the ball well on ASU before he got hurt. Shelley has performed excellent but there is a reason why Huntley was “the clear number 1” until he got hurt. It is great to know we have Shelley if/when Huntley gets dinged up next season and that we won’t have to trot out a rs freshmen in 20′.
Yes we were on fire before he went down, but Huntley also had Moss at his disposal. I think Shyne has played admirably, but the drop off is still pretty obvious from #1 to #2.
Huntley wasn’t having a great game prior to going down. He was 7 of 15 for 88 yards passing and had 42 yards rushing when he got hurt halfway through the third quarter.
Healthy Huntley will keep his starting job but if he gets hurt or starts choking Shelly will be a bonified replacement I won’t feel stressed about. Shelly just had two excellent starts. I really like the kid. Just don’t see the coaches skipping their senior if he’s winning and healthy.
